AFLW silly season - trade period starts 7/12/23

[LP]

Seems to be a trend in the AFLW: borderline players leave for greener pastures, often before they've had a chance to develop. 

No matter what the assertions are, AFLW is very different from AFL. Some aspects of AFLW still seem very semi-professional, which always exposes itself as a chicken and egg debate when you talk dollar$ and contracts.

If AFL was like AFLW, we'd have the McKay twins in house with the Hollands, Fisher and Cripps would be a package deal, Setterfield would still be at Carlton.

West Coast have selected Jess Hosking as a delisted free agent. Nice to see Jess continue her career. I wasn't happy when the twins abandoned us.

GWS have picked up Daisy Walker and Claire Ransom (ex-GC) as delisted free agents.
Other clubs do like our girls.
