List Mgmt. AFLW Draft Monday 16 December 2024 - Port Adelaide picks 17, 33, 40, 47, 53

[EskimoPAFC]

We couldn't get big Port fanatic Anne Hatchard to come across with Erin Phillips.

For sure, but Hatch was well established at the time Port joined the AFLW.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

i don’t see us closing the gap on crows this offseason at all, and they are miles ahead of us.

We'll beat them in 2025 with Young and Tahau in the side.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

We’ve seen no evidence of that, just as the “if we’re good blokes at the trade table teams will look after us in trades”


We should be trying to get rasheed over, but there’s no guarantees she will or crows will be chill about it

Ash Saint. Jasmine Simmons.

Ash Saint. Jasmine Simmons.

Don't bother, let him melt.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Reckon it was the vic clubs pushing for it too.

Of course it is, especially with the talent we've managed to pull in with the state based drafts.

They would've been happy with the state based drafts early on because they believed all the talent was in Victoria, whereas SA was a black hole that was behind NSW and Queensland.

 

[TazD]

Wouldn't be surprised if Adelaide pushed the national draft too.

Ash Saint. Jasmine Simmons.

They didn’t trade saint, she was a priority signing (part of our entry concessions) and Simmons was a nobody.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

If the draft didn't go national Brisbane, Gold Coast, Port and Adelaide would be way too dominant.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Brisbane have used our pick.

Charlotte Riggs still there. 182cm fits the type Lauren wants.

2 of those clubs have never even made a grand final.

One of Adelaide or Brisbane have literally been in every grand final since the inception of the league. They've played each other twice.

Lily Paterson

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Without a doubt, Lily Paterson was one of, if not the, biggest improver in 2024. She showed promising signs as a bottom-ager, largely in spurts playing forward, but a midfield move for Swan Districts prompted a huge change in the top-ager as she quickly became one of the most prolific players in the WAFL Women’s.

Paterson is relatively new to the sport, having picked up the code a few years ago after coming from a dual soccer and netball background. She was invited to try out at the Swans, and since then changed her opinion and never looked back. Learning the sport took a little while which is why there was somewhat of a slow burn for the ball-winner, but once it all clicked, it was evident to see.

That's an interesting pick. I don't think many places I've looked like even expected her to go in the first two rounds

Massive bolter

Misread.

So make it 2 of the 4 clubs who you claim would be too dominant haven’t made a grand final.


Its wild to claim clubs who haven’t made a grand final yet had to be nerfed because that would become “too dominant”

Sarah Black had her in the mix to go early but then she had a about 40 in her top 20

Its honestly pretty obvious logic.

Adelaide and Brisbane had unrestricted access to the South Australian and Queensland drafts and became completely overpowered. Port and GC are late joiners that would be getting access to those same drafts that gave the same crazy advantages that Adelaide and Brisbane had. If we'd gone in rather than them we would probably have been just as dominant. The fact that in just a couple of drafts we went from inception to a prelim says a lot. We've had TWO rising stars in 3 years in the comp, and have also had the runner up in one of those years.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Realistically speaking we should of two more state drafts as Adelaide and Brisbane still have a **** off advantage over us and the rest of the competition
