I read recently that Collingwood WILL have to trade for Davey, and WE have to be reasonably compensated or it won't happen.
Maddy Prespakis does have a sister coming through. How good she is, that I don't know. However, I have noted that she has been in the top 3 placegetters when I looked up the NAB League Girls results.
Live Long and Prosper!

Yes, they will have to trade for her because collingwood are not an expansion side. Expansion sides could get her without a trade.
BUT....if Davey doesn't sign a contract with us, she is free to enter the draft (as i understand it) and who has pick 1? Magpies.

I think the last player to try that on was Jake Edwards, and we all know how that happened!

I'd be backing Davey in to find another suitor without too much of a worry.

I read somewhere that it is unlikely Collingwood will retain pick 1, as they will give some very early picks to the expansion clubs to make sure they get the pick of the best juniors, it depends on how well they are able to poach players. From memory last year Geelong was given picks 1 and 2?

Yeah, that is another possibility. How they award the picks depends on how well they have recruited thus far.
You are right, Geelong did get 1+2, whereas North got nothing because they got in so much high end talent from other clubs.
That being said, teams can only pick from their 'zones' which is basically their own state. So of the 4 expansion teams, only 2 (Tigers and Saints) would likely be able to get a pick before Collingwood that would matter.....and i reckon Tigers have recruited pretty well, so might be the saints with pick 1.....which might suit Davey as she played for the St. Kilda Sharks previously i believe.

I managed to sneak that info days ago expecting an announcement the same day
*tumbleweeds*
It was first reported a week ago that an announcement was imminent.

Crickets it seems, trade signing period done and dusted and despite Davey being the hot topic we've nothing yet to report. It's a bit odd!

Carlton Football Club re-signings on April 24, 2019
Gabriella Pound – 2 Years
Darcy Vescio – 2 Years
Kerryn Harrington – 2 Year
Nicola Stevens – 2 Years
Tayla Harris – 2 Years
Maddie Prespakis – 2 Years
Jess Hosking – 2 Years
Georgia Gee – 2 Years
Abbie McKay – 2 Years
Chloe Dalton – 1 Year
Brooke Walker – 1 Year
Katie Loynes – 1 Year
Sarah Hosking. – 1 Year
Breann Moody – 1 Year
Alison Downie – 1 Year
Jayde Van Dyk – 1 Year
Lauren Brazzale – 1 Year
Natalie Plane – 1 Year
Jess Edwards – 1 Year
Charlotte Wilson – 1 Year
Emerson Wood – 1 Year
Couple of things....
1. Why is Jess Hosking 2 years, but Sarah only 1? Sarah is the better player, in the leadership group, hasn't had the injuries her sister has. It doesn't make sense to me.
2. Great effort signing up our best talent to 2 years. The Sarah Hosking anomaly aside, i'd say our best 7 players (and a couple others) are locked away for 2 years. With the obvious exception of our turncoat captain.
