To answer my own question: she did not. I didn’t think Port Adelaide broke her that much.
Anyway, we got a ruck.
So, we have only 1 draft pick… 
The AFL article was still wrong!
Clarke brings much needed key forward depth, seems a much better option than Ryan. And yeah with Cutting they must’ve really just not thought Borg was a good option. At least we’re okay for key depth now.
To expand on my answer: Norf have just brought McGrath back, at AFLW level this time.
Ex-EFC Hayley Bullas also follows ex-EFC Collier to Sydney.
Oldies draft news (currently we have one list spot available). This is of course for Maddie Boyd, who isn’t mentioned in the ten cut AFLW players at the end of this article.
Article trimmed down to the key info below.
…
Two AFLW seasons were played in one year in 2022, as the AFL wanted to move the starting time from January to August.
It meant those who were drafted in June played straight away, with a large number of year 12s combining school and footy, instead waiting until the following January to play AFLW.
To make sure this doesn’t happen again, this one-off draft is restricted to those who are born in 2004 or earlier (i.e. will turn 19 this year).
This means that the upcoming draft features prospects from the same pool as the previous draft.
Those born in 2005 will wait for the draft ahead of the 2023 season.
…
Because of the limited pool, the AFL has not mandated that teams take a minimum of three spots to the draft, as has been the case in years prior.
Some clubs won’t participate in the draft at all, with West Coast having already filled its squad of 30.
As it currently stands, Adelaide, Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond will have one pick; Brisbane, Collingwood and Geelong will take two; Gold Coast and the Western Bulldogs will be busy with three; while Carlton and Fremantle will be adding four players.
…
Essendon, Greater Western Sydney, Hawthorn, St Kilda and Sydney are yet to publicly confirm the bulk of their lists.
…
For the first time, players will be able to nominate for a national pool, capable of being taken by any team across the country if they wish.
If players want to stay in their home state (e.g. for work, study or personal reasons), they can choose to nominate for a state-specific pool instead.
However, the Charlie Rowbottom/Montana Ham loophole – nominating a specific state that’s not their home state – is no longer on the table. In the past two drafts, both No.1 picks were Victorians who moved states.
Tasmanian players can choose to nominate for North Melbourne (given the club’s alliance with the state’s women’s program), any state of their choosing, or the national pool.
Players who are based in the Northern Territory have the option of nominating for a specific state of their choice, or the national pool.

Oh ■■■■, I forgot there were two Brookes.
LOL at that article NOT stating “we just re-signed everyone we hadn’t cut” and “therefore the club will not be participating in the oldies draft”.
Hawk’s odds of winning the VFLW premiership just went way up.

This Oldies Draft is clearly not live; they’re rocketing through it.
I’m not used to the AwFul or WeeWeeEee not wasting my time.
Hawks choose one of their own at #18: Kristy Stratton.
MARIANNA ANTHONY!!!
Pick 19, but sadly to Fark Carlton. Those first two VFLW weeks for Norf were very handy by her.
Played 33 games with us 2019-2022.

Ruby Tripodi from Willy finally gets a chance: to Norf.
No one poached from us.
A draft done in 25 minutes, with actual insight and video. What is this madness?!?
Lovely video on Instagram of our VFLW players watching the draft last night after training, and going nuts for Marianna being selected.
Tierney there, sneaker on left foot, injured right foot bare. Could put some weight on it.
One new spot to fill, possibly in the next 14 days before pre-season starts.

Why aren’t the captains “front and centre”
