Molly O 

shout it out … 
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1263084
 

"I just really loved the tackling"

That's what we like to hear!

Also good that she's already had a year out of school, so hopefully a bit better prepared for a move across.

 

Original draft picks: 10, 28, 46, 64.

Current draft picks: 2, 20, 46, 64. 

That is a seriously good upgrade of 1st and 2nd round picks albeit we lost Lily Mithen.

Presumably we will use at least the first 3 picks as 46 should come in after bid matching.

Anyone know how many list spots we have?

 

Edit:  it seems #46 was traded out.  Still not a bad pick trade result.

A few more questons:

  • Does AFLW still have State based drafting?
  • If they do I assume our picks 20, 46 etc will become higher for Vic/National players, if i/state clubs pick a player from their State?

@Lucifers Hero no more started based drafting - it's a national draft this year.

And I think we also traded out pick 46 as part of the Mithen deal.

Many thanks.

I also thought 46 was gone but the AFL has it still with us.

I think they’ve left the AFLW trade tracker & draft order updates to the work experience kids. Errors all over the place, but 46 did go out in the trade. Think it’s the one pick we sent out that stayed with GC.

If I'm calculating correctly, assuming we retain all the remaining listed players from this season (not factoring a potential Paxy retirement), that's 27. Add back in A.Mackin and Hose from the inactive list and remove their replacements, D.Taylor and Hill, back to 27. Beasley presumably goes to the inactive list as 1 year post ACL will be mid-September. 26.

So 4 list spots, including 1 injury replacement. Potentially we sign D.Taylor back on.

The article on our website says 46 is gone. I doubt we'd get that wrong!

Flash Davey’s niece, Tatyana Perry is in the draft crop this year. Was into Dees because uncle Aaron was with us, tipped to go in the 25-40 range. In other drafts she’d probably be well in first rd contention, but this is an especially strong group. Speed and skill is Tatyana’s calling card, good by foot too:

It would be great to snaffle her at 20 if available!

Sarah Black's draft preview here:

https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1263082/sarah-blacks-draft-late-mail-who-will-your-club-pick

Based on this:

Pick 2: Fish or O'Hehir (outside chance Painter - comparison is Bri Davey)

Pick 20: Linked to Grace Martin, a small utility (though after about 10, things seems variable so could be some surprises here)

I haven't seen any of these girls but hope we go with O"Hehir as we need a big, classy mid...

It's the one area where we get beaten up.

Agree O'Hehir looks to be that type we lack, and that all the best contenders have: tall, explosive, good kick, aerially sound.

Fish could add some real pace and athleticism to our midfield (also needed), but I'm not sure we should be adding yet another player around the 160cm mark, especially a light one even more easily pushed off the footy? Yet clearly she's a talent...

Types like Painter at 2 or Martin at 20 make sense to bolster our more contested mid depth. We're still one injury away from oblivion in that area.

The other major gaps to fill at some point would be an intercept defender and perhaps a back-up ruck to take Watt's place?

Sounds like a good year to be a Victorian club with a high pick as the draft goes national.... in theory. But I do wonder how difficult it will be to retain interstate players.

Meggs is keenest on Molly O'Hehir (strong reboudning defender) with pick 2, though Lu Painter (Bendigo Pioneers, tough utility) could be a smoky here.

The helmeted Sarah Poustie (indefatigable mid) at 20 looks a great fit for us, while Charlotte Brewer (at 64, if she's still available, will add nicely to our skilled running brigade).

We can't wait to hear who Todd selects tonight.  There is no doubt these players will add to our already dynamic group and we can expect a strong rebound in 2025.

Suns forced to match our Havana Harris bid.

Draft under way, so, @Demonland, amend thread title now?

We've taken Molly O with our first pick. She'll be great for us.


Fish is a Swan 😄

Georgie Brisbane didn't get as far as the Lions' first pick.

Molly O'Hehir and Maggie Mahony: they sound like a couple of Irish jigs!

A couple of home-grown Colleens to go with our wonderful cohort of imported ones!

Several draftees (mostly outside Vic) saying they picked up footy during Covid. Interesting.

  • Author

Summary so far:

OUT

Mithen, Pick 10, Pick 28, Pick 46

Watt (retired)

Madigan (delisted)

Hill (delisted inj. rep.)

A.Mackin (remains inactive - possibly indefinitely?)

 

IN

Pick 3 O'Hehir

Pick 21 Mahony

Pick 63 Dethridge

Hose (returns to active list)

 

Assuming Beasley is also inactive, that leaves two spots, to possibly retain Denby Taylor and add one more.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
