WTF? Why is WARF banned from finals?
Doesnāt make sense. Even for AFLā¦
Hawks have taken two of their three final expansion team bonus list pick-ups: Eastern Ranges Laura Stone and Jess Vukic.

*Cannon(s) and Pioneer(s)
Lauren Young signed by Port as part of the (hereās the official name) Expansion U18 Talent Pathway Pre-Signing Period.
Many had her as the best 18yo in the country.
Weāre only a ācomplimentary broadcasterā, with finals restricted to the official rights holders.
Out of interest, what are the costs of getting the rights?
Iām assuming they wonāt accept naming your first born child after Gil is feasible.
Any word on if weāll be signing anyone as a part of the expansion under 18 talent pathway signings?
Iāll have words if we donāt!
Any news as to whether EFC will seriously go down the Irish path - There are some seriously talented Irish women in the AFLW and they seem to be versatile being able to play in a variety of positions.
Alyce Parker apparently considering a move to a Vic team with dons one of the teams in the mix
Parker would be a great get. Hopefully we have a real crack at signing another top liner whether in midfield or a distributor down back.
Tait Mackrill dumped by GWS.
LOL at the photo and caption chosen to announce that, but I can confirm itās how she gets messages across.
Port sign another freebie. They and the Hawks are pumping out the announcements and videos.
Not sure what time tomorrow we and Sydney need to get our ā ā ā ā in order by.
I just need the club to get any delistings out of the way so I can stop worrying.
I havenāt seen her play since U14ās but she was streets ahead of any other female Iād seen in that age group before.
Stolen from RookieMe. She copped an ACL after the below, but is well past that.
Making her SANFLW debut back in 2021, the then 15-year-old Young went on to earn a Rising Star nomination on debut, taking the most marks, having the most disposals and rebound 50s on the ground, all while playing in midfield and floating to defence. From there, she won the Breakthrough Player Award and competition best and fairest - despite being one of the youngest in the league - while making the SANFLW Team of the Year.
It was pretty evident from game one that had she needed to step up to the AFLW a week later, that she could have coped, but instead, it was the AFLW Under 18 Championships where South Australia sought - and received - special allowance to play Young as a 15-year-old. She went on to not only hold her own, but win her stateās MVP and earn All-Australian honours off just two games.
