Remember that the draft rules in AFLW are different.
The match is the next pick you have provided it is within 18 of the bid.
We had pick 19, which was the price whether the Demons bid at 2 or the Crows bid at pick 13.
We might have asked them to bid so that Harris gets drafted where she probably should. It was pick 19 whoever bid.
Players selected: Havana Harris (Academy bid match, pick No.2), Heidi Talbot (Academy, pick No.27), Mia Salisbury (Academy bid match, pick No.29), Nyalli Milne (Academy, pick No.41), Tara Harrington (Academy, pick No.47)
Gold Coast loaded up on its own Academy products, headlined by draft 'unicorn' Havana Harris. At 182cm, she is a strong forward/ruck rotation, but will likely spend plenty of time as an inside midfielder alongside bull Charlie Rowbottom and dynamic breakaway duo Claudia Whitfort and Lucy Single. Adding some movement through the line to complement the tough, contested nature of Rowbottom's work will work wonders for the Suns, while Harris can also be a marking target ahead of the footy in the absence of captain Tara Bohanna, who made her way to the Blues during Trade Period. Mia Salisbury also moves well through the midfield as a smart decision maker, as can Tara Harrington who boasts neat skill and the capacity to run and carry from the contest. Heidi Talbot is someone who will really help with the side's transition out of defence – something it struggled with this year after Bess Keaney made the move to Essendon – and Nyalli Milne is one who will offer a strong midfield/forward rotation, bringing some gameday versatility to the side.
