Along with Essendon’s vacancy, Geelong still has two list spots remaining, while St Kilda has one. Pre-season begins on Monday, but clubs can sign replacement players up until the start of the season (week beginning August 11).
Not sure if any current (or future top-up?) AFLW players affected. We do know that the shifting forward of this year’s season has already been problematic for those trying to do both sports.
State of Play stating a Norf Werribee player was pulled as she has been signed as an AFLW top-up (and is not Tessa Boyd). We are a one-fourth (?, I’ve lost track) chance of being the destination.
Per their description, it would be one of the below?
- Reese Sutton (ex-EFC VFLW, gun) - out this past weekend
- Caitlin Fletcher (ex-GWS) - out last week
- Matilda Zander (27yo, collects B&Fs for fun) - out last week
EDIT: have to check if they explicitly said was pulled OR if “debut was prevented” is also possible: e.g. Jacqui Vogt could match the latter.
EDIT 2: was presumably referring to Fletcher (listed as “unavailable”) over Zander (“omitted”). Is odd that there hasn’t been an ANNOUNCE in the long period since.
EDIT 3: it’s us + Cats + Giants each wiith one top-up to come
New “leak” says we are again playing the Tiggers in Darwin.
If anyone is ambitious, that may mean men’s make-up game in Gold Coast to this a few days later. MORCS will be kept busy!
Fixture release today according to Essendon socials.
Edit: This was for the AFL mens. Still waiting on the women.
Hey!
To be fair, I do know JXT personally.
