2018 AFLW Draft
#1
Not as well publicized as the Men's, but very important for the 2019 season. It is on at the moment.

Was pretty much as predicted, we are lucky the AFLW draftees can nominate zones which let her slip to pick #3 otherwise she would have been pick #1.

I wonder if they will ever bring the equivalent to the AFL draft? :o

Despite the institutionalised hatred, sometimes the system cannot stop us profiting! ;D

Not disappointed, but the zonal system has some really irrational results.

Pick 16: Carlton: Abby McKay

Another of our VFL lasses, Brancatisano, was stolen by Melbourne with pick 15.  :'(

Pick 27: Carlton: Charlotte Wilson

A reasonably tall and very athletic defender, Charlotte was the Eastern Ranges' co Captain. She played 5 games for the Southern Saints in the VFL this year.

I'm glad to hear.

A mate describes Prespakis as a female Diesel, gets leather poisoning and not a long kick but hits targets with both feet out to 30m.

Looks like we're going a balanced approach. Good mix of mids and defenders which we need both of.

Bit surprised to see her slip this late, but as you point out this may be a curiosity of the nomination zones.
