Done them a favor IMHO. She's been all hype and no substance.

The bigger coup for them is Jazzie Garner. Absolute gun and sh!ts all over Mo.

The good news for Carlton looks set to continue with Bri Davey about to re-sign:

Quote:CARLTON appears to have won the battle to hold on to its captain and star defender Brianna Davey.
Although no contract has been signed, the 23-year-old is understood to be on the verge of putting pen to paper to remain in navy Blue.
Now how do we go about luring some decent mids?

Given that Davey is still plastered all over the carlton website and everything else, i always thought that we had to have been a chance to keep her.......or our IT department is incredibly inept...which was a possibility.
So i do hope that she decides to stick around....and i'd let her keep the captaincy because as good as Sarah was, she isn't a Bri Davey.
As for the mids....well, i think we've built a side the same way i'd hoped we rebuilt the mens side. That is, get the hard to find book end type players sorted, and flesh out the middle with your easier to find midfielders later. If a player is contemplating coming to the club and they can see that we have the KPPs already in place, then it makes the club more attractive.
As for those bagging out Vescio, she was coming back from a knee injury and was still finding her feet. She will be a different player next year.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with this. Much appreciated. Shame about KGJ and DH.

Damn! I rally rate Hardiman. She may not be that quick, but she is a great competitor and was an excellent defender for us in the last 2 years. Gillespie-Jones was also a very solid defender for us.
Nor will they be easy for us to replace.
Live Long and Prosper!

You can sort of see what is happening, the whole competition is being taken to a new lower less professional level, to make the games more open and scoring higher.
There is some irony that the new teams are focused mostly of defenders, especially given the AFLs criticism of Carlton.

Yep.
KGJ was one of the targetted KPF on the infamous whiteboard that got leaked. Turned into a defender. While good size, nothing to really write home about with footy smarts.
Hardiman on the other hand is probably not quite the size of KGJ, but has a better footy brain. Managed to get in the votes a few times last year.
Still, with Davey (hopefully) coming back, we will require one less of them in the team every week.
Better losing from an area we are abundant in rather than say, mids.
