Fair enough, it was only first round picks that I heard it suggested for anyway, so clubs could not monopolize whole drafts years and you still have to get the pick right, which is far from a science!

Well we drafted Maddie Prespakis in the first round last year, and this year she was out of contract and we signed up for 2 more.
So, again, it never came in.

I appreciate that.
I don't see why clubs would bother to invest in players if they can't sign them for more than a year, so the change was inevitable!

So in order to get Bri Davey the pies have sold the farm.
Pies have given up their first 4, yes FOUR, picks in the draft (Pick 2, 26, 44, 59) and we've given them back picks we basically won't have to use now (67 and 82.)
Good work at the trade table baggers.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Bri.
She was a fan of 'Da Bears' anyway and i can't allow that.

Well that is basically it, if you do not want to be here you do not have to stay, Davey is no different to Henderson in this regard!
I hope this inspires the remainder of our list to bigger and better things!

We now seem to have a lot of picks in the draft, how many list spots do we still have available? Any chance we'll package up some of these picks and trade for a player?

Yes of course, and I think six changes are the bare minimum.
But the rules keep changing so I'm not certain when commenting on AFLW, plus as Kruddler pointed out the AFL make it up as they go! For example an extreme case, if we wanted to trade a bunch of picks to Nthmond for Katie Brennan, I wouldn't be surprised that the AFL kibosh such a move yet I don;t see how there can be a formal rule against it! It's not like drafting a kid and trading them straight away, Brennan is an old hand!
Would we give Daisy Pearce a spot for 2020, she's a long long time Navy Blue?
Is there any confirmation yet of how the next season will play out? If as rumored it moves to be coincident with the mens season it means an 18 month off-season!

I'm going to make an afl w prediction.
The girls are going to be less desired long term as each new batch of draftees comes in due to the work being done to get them up to draft age. Each generation will be much better than the one that came before it .

You mean like Walsh, or pretty much any GWS draftee for the last 5 years? ;D
