Also worth noting from that video, that we are only allowed to sign 22 players, we are forced to have 8 list changes.
Given that we have signed 21, are we leaving the door open for Davey to come back and be our final signing?

As Bri still features prominently on our website, I suspect that the door is wide open.
Strange about the Hosking twins ... and I would have Chloe Dalton and Brooke Walker on two year deals.

Re hoskings.
Perhaps its measured. Weve offered the more injury prone one a two year contract which gives her security which fosters a likelihood her sister will stay even though shes only got one?
Or perhaps we'll reverse this trend afterwards and offer them both enough security?

Second signing period has already begun and will end on sunday.
Draft order has been 'updated' after throwing in some priority/compo picks.
...and the first trade has already gone through.
Richmond (somehow) were awarded pick 1 (despite recruited well with Traub and Brennan in comparison to Saints who got.....???) and have since on-traded that pick for soon to be 20yo Monique Conti aka BOG on GF, AA, and B+F winner from the dogs.
Dogs getting pillaged from Tigers.
So now, updated first round sees pies with pick 2 and still a long way off in any davey trade.
Updated draft order
1. Western Bulldogs (via Richmond)
2. Collingwood
3. Brisbane Lions
4. GWS Giants
5. St Kilda (priority selection)
6. Western Bulldogs
7. Richmond (priority selection)
8. Melbourne
9. St Kilda (priority selection)
10. North Melbourne
11. Geelong Cats
12. Fremantle
13. Carlton
14. Adelaide Crows
15. Brisbane Lions (via St Kilda, Kate McCarthy trade)
16. Brisbane Lions (via Richmond, Sabrina Frederick trade)
17. Brisbane Lions (via West Coast, McKenzie Dowrick trade)
18. Gold Coast Suns

Tilly was no longer a staple of the team. She was in and out of the side and is starting to be shown up from her lack of pace.
I think that Tilly is typical of many players from the initial teamlists in that she has been overtaken by younger, bigger, faster, stronger and more skilful players.

If Davey doesnt want to be here or wants to sook up, she can fark off to Collingwood or anywhere else AFAIC no great loss. The Club is bigger than the individual, there is no better example than Buddy. Hawks went on to win 2 flags and he has got squat at the Swans (apart from the $10M). These prima donnas too often lose site of the big picture. I do understand the crazy money offers that come, not all of us are driven by the $$$.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
