uncontracted
delisted/retired/traded
Signed until end of 2020 season
Signed until end of 2021 season

So we've just had an update from the club on the recent signing/extensions.

As you can see from the above, there is 1 name that has not signed on for next year.
We need to take 3 picks into the draft and we have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder.
We have a list size of 30.

From the above list, we have 27 players + 3 picks.

End result....
CHLOE DALTON IS NOT PLAYING!

I'm assuming this is because of her rugby 7's double duty and her chasing a(nother?) gold medal.

But unless i'm missing something (i don't think i am) that is devastating news IMO.

[LP]

I'd like to see Harris and Vescio extend contracts, particularly because Dalton leaves a bit of a shortfall as she can play quite tall for a 180cm type in addition to being ultra-mobile.

We seem to have a smaller running list, but I don't think it's an accident of trading or draft, it looks deliberate.

I think there is a good reason as to why Vescio and Harris haven't extended their contracts and its got nothing to do with us, or them.

The AFLW player payments are different to the mens. From memory there is 3 or 4 tiers with limited number of players allowed in each tier.
At a guess its something like..
Tier 1 - 2 players
Tier 2 - 4 players
Tier 3 - 8 players
Tier 4 - the rest.

....and each tier has a capped amount.

So at a guess Harris and Vescio would be currently either a tier 1 or tier 2.
I'm not sure the AFL have set a salary cap/player payments scheme for beyond 2021 at this stage. They might want to either change the players allowed in each, or change the overall TPP itself, or any combination of the above.
So for all involved, its probably best to wait it out given both were part of the original marquee players from season 1.

CONFIRMED.

https://womens.afl/news/51721/star-blue-...r-olympics

PACEY Carlton midfielder Chloe Dalton will put her AFLW career on hold in 2021, returning to rugby sevens to pursue an Olympic berth.

The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until next year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 27-year-old needs to be based in Sydney until then for training.

Dalton, who finished second in the club's best and fairest this year, will return to the Blues after her Olympic bid, and has signed a contract for 2022.

She previously represented the country at the Rio Games in 2016.

Maddie Prespake extends her contract to 2022.
https://womens.afl/news/51722/re-signing...until-2022

Prespakis, who was crowned the 2020 AFLW best and fairest at just 19 years old, signed a contract extension with Carlton and will be a Blue until at least the end of 2022.

I suspect the AFL has given some direction in terms of contracts from post 2021.

Perhaps we will see a few more extensions now.

Women's footy was to be unaffected next year (gil stated that months ago) on the back of growing the comp.  I think the pressure mounted to start providing clarity regarding the future to sign players in both men's and women's.

Updated new players numbers as per our uno number reveal video...lol

We have a new player - Paige Trudgeon. She takes the place of Chloe Dalton who is sitting out the season for Olympic duties.

delisted/retired/traded
Signed until end of 2021 season[/b]
Signed until end of 2022 season

This is the list of players currently in limbo, neither delisted, nor contracted for 2022.

I suspect that everyone with #15 and under, as well as Nic Stevens, will be offered a contract relatively quickly.
The others are all worthy of another year on the list, but it depends on what is available both at the draft and via trade.

[LP]

Would we offer someone like Downie a one year deal to hold a potential KPF position out of the square leaving Vescio and others to be more mobile, or has that ship sailed?
