Jess Dal Pos is expected to be traded from GWS to Carlton, while Katie Loynes and Chloe Dalton are likely to end up at the Giants.

I think it is harsh wwhen the reality is that the offer from Collingwood enabled her to be a professional sportswoman and ours fell short of that. Fair way away from the "do I take a mere $1.1m pa to stay" "dilemma" some of the men are facing.

CHAOS has surrounded the 2pm AEST deadline of the AFLW Sign and Trade Period, with Jess Hosking requesting a trade to Richmond...

Harris was a liability this season and in all honesty I think for her footy is just a pay-cheque between boxing bouts, take the trade and run.

And now Hosking wants out.

“All our discussions with Jess since the end of the season had centred around her re-signing with the Club however yesterday she informed us of her intentions to seek a trade,” Munro said.

“That was obviously really disappointing as we have strong belief in Jess as a player and her qualities as a person,

“The result is that we now have the opportunity to select three of the best 13 Victorian talent in this year’s draft which is a terrific opportunity.

"the best player in the comp"

A slight stretch.....

Recruits: Jess Dal Pos (GWS)

Out: Tayla Harris (Melbourne), Jess Hosking (Richmond), Chloe Dalton (GWS), Katie Loynes (GWS), Alison Downie, Jess Edwards, Winnie Laing (delisted)

Current draft picks: 10, 11, 23, 26, 40, 58

Carlton – having already lost Chloe Dalton and Tayla Harris – was blindsided by Jess Hosking's 11th-hour trade request to Richmond. The Blues, who were already a relatively young side, have now been forced to the draft, having only brought in Jess Dal Pos during the Trade Period. Regardless of her performance this year, Harris will be a loss, having always drawn the opposition's No.1 defender. Dalton is also a big blow, but Dal Pos should slot in with ease considering her pre-AFLW connections to some of her teammates.

Trade rating: 3/10

What are you talking about? I'm talking about Brianne Davey.

Brianne Davey just won this years Best and Fairest Award ie the women's version of the Brownlow Medal.

She was considered the best player in the comp before she did her knee vs GWS in round 2 2018.
She was our captain.
She captained our team to the Prelim GF, and who knows we were on a roll before the comp was a covid victim.

Sorry, thought you were talking about Tayla.

Still, there's a big difference between giving up the best player in the comp, and giving up a player who became the best in the comp.

It's like saying we gave up one of the greatest FF's of the modern era to get Chris Judd, when the reality is that we gave up a kid with potential but had yet to show any payoff.

Carlton's Trade Period rated ar the worst of the lot

Like the mens team, they need more mids to help out Prespakis. McEvoy is one who could step up, but like our mens we need some speed in the midfield group.

They had to get some high end talent to the group for next season to create some momentum and open a window. If not, there's always a chance, like the Hosking girls, Prespakis may want to join childhood team, Effendruggies* for their inaugral year.

This year's trade and the spin is a big fail from me too.
