Contested mid, same size as Mon, gets back and forward, two way runner, not a big ball getter yet, maybe in Dalloway mould so far. Fills a needWho the fook is that?
Going to be interesting to see how some of our less speedy players go in the shadow of this speed. Can only motivate to lift the standard all over I hope.well looks like we've got 2 super quick midfielders on our hands, who can tackle.
Hear, hear. No question we have traded and drafted well this off season, just the questions you have asked may linger for a few years, which is more than fair.While a little disappointed we didn't get Williamson or Kavanagh. I wish the two new girls the best of luck & hope they turn out to be the players we need to improve as well as the other 3 girls we picked up in the trades. Lets hope neither of Williamson or Kavanagh turn out to be stars for there respective teams.

Like that we’ve addressed a sluggish theme to our line up by adding some genuine dash , both of these kids have an instinct to get and go and have some toe . Good selections , good luck girls , work hard and make the most of your opportunityyeah, like WOW, she's quick!
Conti the only one that runs with ball in hand tho , I think we’ve improved our list and addressed areas that set us back . Marking target s a bit of a worry if g train doesnt come on and kb only 1-2 seasons left . Seymour up forward could be a go , or even Monty while poppy rucksi wonder who would be the quickest on our list?
Conti, Cox, Lynch, Yassir have afterburners.
these 2 girls would have to be up there.
The only concern for me is that Bacon, is not a natural footballer. She has other attributes you would look for except for kicking. As mentioned her weakness is kicking & that to me is something most of our players need to improve in. So hopefully she can learn in the professional environment that she is coming into. Ford I like the look of especially since we picked her up with pick 43.yeah i concur.
while it is disappointing, we did get:
a mid with serious pace who'll start in D50 and transition into the midfield = Bacon
a mid with serious pace who'll start in F50 and transition into the midfield = Ford
i can live with that.
Dalloway reminded of Greg’s but appears more agile , we ll see , am going on limited visionDalloway definitely is, about the same age as Mon, hardly every kicks it so far though. Not sure she is much different to Grace Egan output wise. These girls being drafted now are 5 years behind and do you think we have a lot of class coming through? No question we need a Bacon type, but arguably need a more inside midfield type that kicks was my read. Time will tell.
Took some nice marks bacon , reads play . Has some good qualities I think , kicking technique looked okThe only concern for me is that Bacon, is not a natural footballer.

Yep that was the mould coz we were slowwww, let’s see how they go , both look good so farwell looks like we've got 2 super quick midfielders on our hands, who can tackle.
Both Hicks and dallaway will provide improved support for mon in the midfield , that was def the plan , plus some rotations with existing players sheerin , lavey et alWhile we may not have drafted a ready made contested mid it doesn't mean that either Isabel or Mackenzie, or both, won't end up playing there. Getting Ellie Mac back and trading in Ally Dallaway and also having seen the Eilish Sheeran experiment work I'm a lot more confident we'll be a strong midfield group in 2024 and the girls we just drafted will have the time to develop as mids in a couple of seasons time.
I though that too, but stats suggest they are both heavy handball girls just from a sheer output perspective, was where I was coming fromNot the furthest of kicks Dallaway but apart from that they are polar opposites Dallaway and Egan. Dall will provide run and gun. She is quick, and nifty around the contest exactly what we need.
