Not being able to trade any of our first 5 picks will hurt us. We will be forced into pick players that just aren't Top 15 quality purely because of the lack of depth in the NSW/ACT draft pool

Zarlie Goldsworthy who is from Albury and is expected to go Top 10 will nominate as Victoria Only.
We have 3 live picks in the draft despite having 5 spots on our list to fill. Two selections will be used on Alice Mitchell and Montana Beruldsen who we have signed but have to draft as they have never nominated themselves for the AFLW Draft before.
Cynthia Hamilton is the best remaining NSW player who was on the fence between nominating Victoria and NSW until we signed her sister Lexi and should be Pick 1. The other two spots will come down to two of either Dakota Mason, Zara Hamilton or Fleur Davies who will nominate NSW over Queensland after being talked into by the GWS in the hopes we overlook her.

Vic clubs not happy with you guys
The AFL is in talks with clubs over an alleged integrity issue surrounding next week’s AFL Women’s draft and its potential No. 1 pick.
A meeting will be held on Thursday afternoon between six Victorian clubs and the AFL in the wake of two top Victorian draft prospects nominating Sydney as their intended destination in recent days.
Potential No. 1 pick Montana Ham and fellow Victorian top prospect Sofia Hurley – two of Victoria’s most impressive young players – have nominated for the New South Wales draft pool, opting to leave their home state.
Her manager, Alex Saundry, said this week that Ham’s decision was “a university and lifestyle choice”.
Both players are expected to be taken by Sydney, which has the first five selections in the NSW pool.
It has also been alleged by Victorian clubs — which will detail their concerns to the league in the meeting — that some interstate clubs may have been offering contracts to draftees including incentives outside of their playing contract as further impetus to nominate outside of their home state.
It was an issue that was raised to the AFL Women’s competition committee in the wake of Gold Coast young gun Charlie Rowbottom’s shock call to nominate Queensland as her draft destination at the end of 2021.
But despite being aware of apparent grievances from some clubs, the league did not act.
Many clubs feel that they are not on an even playing field when it comes to drafting players, with one club insider suggesting that any such action could even constitute conduct prejudicial to the draft.
“A full pitch to draftees isn’t something you’re supposed to do,” they said.
“Then, it’s not a draft.”
The 2022 AFLW draft is set to be held on Wednesday night.
As part of the league’s integrity investigation, some prospective AFLW players and their families have been interviewed by headquarters.
It is believed that as recently as a few weeks ago, Ham – who is 17 and due to finish her Year 12 studies in coming months – had given indications that she had intentions to stay in Victoria to play.
The league runs a state-based draft, where players can only nominate one state to play in.
In the wake of the top pair’s decision, clubs revolted at both the system and the strategies some allege are being employed in players nominating outside of their home state.
“When it happened, the phones at AFL House blew up, asking what the league was going to do about it,” one club insider said.
“Some clubs traded picks to get picks inside the top 10, thinking these girls would be in Victoria.”
Border talent Zarlie Goldsworthy was on the record as recently as last month declaring that she felt Victoria would be the place for her, before pivoting to nominate New South Wales this week and could land at Greater Western Sydney.
Under the state-based draft system, players receive a $10,000 incentive if they are selected as the state’s top pick.
