Random Task

As always massive thank you @Ghostwriter , @Kev , @Harvey Wallbanger and any others that have made the effort to get to training and provide reports. You're efforts are much appreciated. I'm hoping in the new year I'll get the chance to get to a few sessions.

I said Bam.

Or... get free agent Butters plus Humphrey via trade. Bam. Top 4 midfield in 2027.

Fantastic news. Bowey next please.

Lucky there is a hight difference.

Any links for the socially inept?

It's interesting that the Zanker trade hasn't been officially listed on the AFLW draft page with numerous other trades appearing on there that were announced after this. Probably a clerical thing but perhaps still some haggling over draft picks?

AFLW need to get serious and make these car arrangements included in their salary cap.

I don't begrudge Zanker leaving. She has given us great service over many years and has stated she loves the club. Has been a joy to watch. Plus she ran through Birch and let her know about it in the prelim. Legend. We should have got more at the trade table for her but that's on the club.

Pick 1 has already been traded to Richmond. We could make a play for their GC's now pick 4 as they would presumably still need points. Adelaide may end up with a stronger hand for that pick though.

Speaking of Todd Patterson, is it known who has taken over the role of AFLW list manager?

Unrelated but I'm pretty sure Molly O'Hehir remains out of contract. Would be a huge blow to lose her. Fingers crossed we see a re-signing announcement soon.

I'm not across the AFLW trade landscape as much as the mens but losing Zanker, Johnson and pick 35 for picks 9, 27, future 2nd and 81 sounds like massive unders. I would have thought Zanker alone would have been worthy of 2 first rounders.

FREMANTLE has secured a blockbuster trade for Melbourne spearhead Eden Zanker. The two clubs agreed a deal on Sunday that will see the Dockers land Zanker, young defender Lily Johnson, pick No.35 and a future fourth-round selection, with the Demons securing picks No.9, 27, 81 and a future second-round pick.

Maybe we need to toughen our players up by making them train barefoot with Lego's all over the ground.

We have a decent number of players between 18 and 23 but a bit skinny on the 24-28 bracket. Given we are likely to lose Melksham (34), Campbell (34), May (33), T-mac (33) at the end of next year, our age demographic will start shifting significantly towards being youthful. I can see us taking a few more high end kids again given our draft hand and the impending tassie team. However we probably should target players in that 24-28 range for list balance and to supplement our list build in the coming years.

As long as the silver clash jumper abomination never returns I'm not that fussed for a one-off jumper. Although can't say any of these appeal greatly to me, #2 wins out.

Sounds like she's off to Freemantle, nothing official yet though.

As in later?

Thanks for the updates everyone. Any idea what niggle jeffo has thats making him shift between the rehab and main group?
