Interestingly today's draft is a state-based one, so if players nominate Victoria, they can either choose the Melbourne Metro zone (every team except Geelong), Geelong or the entire state.

If players nominate Queensland, they can either choose a zone of residence (Brisbane or Gold Coast) or the whole state.

Colvin looks nice and aggressive in those highlights. Nice to see.

 

Welcome to the Dees girls. Hope you can have plenty of success in the Red and Blue.

Every year the girls look (and probably are) fitter, stronger and better skilled.

I used to get embarrassed at the skill level watching AFLW when the comp started, but every one of these girls nowdays plays footy better than i ever did. I reckon they are also tougher at the contest lols. Guess it was only a matter of time, and they will just keep getting better.

Humble pie time.

Welcome to MFC.

Our first pick is #54 in round 3.  Does anyone know what happened to our 1st and 2nd round picks?

We're using them on Martin 

[george_on_the_outer 7,605]

Colvin is a tackling machine, and can kick the ball further than most.  Nice pickup.

Remember reading on the MFC website the other day Luci we recruited Libby Birch at the expense of Pick 8. Trade perhaps? Not sure about our second round pick though.

[darkhorse72 1,920]

I was wondering the same thing with the first few rounds.  Were they used on the Irish girls as well?

We traded our first and third round picks for Libby Birch. We lost our second round pick because we retained the player (Casey Sherriff) we picked up as compensation for losing Daisy Pearce last year - not really clear on the rationale behind that one.

Given that we lost players to both Victorian expansion clubs and have come in so far down the draft list, I really don't see how we can hope to improve this year. Having Pearce back will be great, but she hasn't played for a while, whilst the pressure will be on Birch to perform.

Thank you.

Bulldogs got 2 first round picks for losing Kate Brennan and another player to start up clubs.  Last year we lost several players to start up clubs and got nothing picks.  And it seems wrong to give up a second round pick for Sheriff.  I would have thought our last pick in the draft would be more appropriate, if any as we used the Daisy comp pick for her last year.

Like you I'm not optimistic of finals, especially if the AFL use the silly Conference system again and we end up in the difficult side like last year.

Good to see they use the same random “metrics” to grade the W draft as well.

The Irish players are rookies so we didn't use any picks to get them. Freebies! The lack of early picks was basically due to expansion and our trade for Birch.

The Daisy thing kind of makes sense to me. We lost her, got Sherriff as her replacement. To bring Daisy back, we either had to get rid of Sherriff or use a pick to keep her. Based on her VFLW form, I think worth it for a known quantity.

It's hard to know how we'll go next year. St Kilda and Richmond's lists have essentially played together in the state league; less the case for West Coast and Gold Coast. Brisbane and Freo were ravaged by expansion. As were the Bulldogs, but they've got the cream of the crop in the draft, players that might have immediate impact like Prespakis this year. The Pies come in off a VFLW Premiership and looked very strong at that level - will it translate?

As for us, we do have one of the most stable lists and have been on the edge of finals each year. Never forget that we had more H&A wins than the Runner-up this year! Still, we'll certainly need some players to step up because the standard continues to rise. I have zero concerns about Birch though.

I can see the thinking behind the players we got at the draft, which is reassuring! I love that Colvin's highlight reel is pretty much bumps and tackles.

It was good also to see a couple of Casey players get picked up: co-captain Garner and Bentvelzen.

Turns out she is Toby Bedford’s cousin.
