From that link, that wasn't there 10 minutes ago, despite the timestamp on it saying 5:04pm...
Quote:The Club also wishes to thank Madeline Keryk, Laura Attard, Kate Shierlaw and Sarah Last for their contributions to the AFLW program, having been delisted from the primary list today.
Carlton now currently holds picks Nos. 3, 16, 21, 27, 38, 40, 48 and 49 in this year’s NAB AFL Women’s National Draft, the equivalent of Victorian picks Nos. 3, 12, 14, 19, 26, 27, 32, 33.
Don't think we've lost anything there.
Keryk was brilliant in her first season. Pathetic last year.
Ditto Attard.
Shierlaw showed promise, but lacked improvement
Last was just making up the numbers.

Yes, Shierlaw was a little disappointing, showed a lot of promise with plenty of athleticism but turned out to be a tap ruck and not much else. I had expected her to have far more influence around the ground than she showed!
In the women's game winning the tap is even less valuable than the men's, primarily because the girls hardly ever find truly clean possessions. You just don't find the girl's doing a Judd style breakaway, there isn't that differential in strength and speed in the midfield that you find as a differential in the men's competition. To me it's a big reason why the girls should not be coached in men's style game plans and tactics, and that AFL fans should not expect to go to AFLW and see the female equivalent!

Last was just making up the numbers. Disappointing, but we had to make changes after last season. That was a disaster.
I'm really disappointed to lose Maddie Gay. She looked good. Not sure about Barden: I have seen her in action, but I don't remember her as an opponent.
Live Long and Prosper!

Either do I, but i searched google images to remind me who she was and a lot of photos had 2 players attempting to take her down, so the 'wrecking ball' description seems apt.
I think we needed a bigger bodied, more aggressive mid in the lineup, so its a good get in that regard.

I've heard Vescio might be moving into more of an on-ball role for the coming season!

Many were calling for it last season, but an injury interrupted pre-season will do that to you.
Wonder what kind of free agency types we will target.

Very disappointed to see Maddie Gay go to the Dees. She looked impressive this year in an unimpressive season. She seemed to read the play exceptionally well. Lucky Dees.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Apt description.
She'll give you guys good service as a hard at it mid, just don't expect brilliant skills.
Very much in the Loynes mould, maybe a little quicker.
Sad to see her go from the Pies.

We need Steph in the midfield, and back here on the forum!
