2023 AFLW Draft review: Fremantle
FREMANTLE essentially traded out of the 2023 AFL Women’s Draft, only making the bare minimum two selections, including re-listing current player Airlie Runnalls.

2023 AFLW Draft review: Carlton
ONLY taking the minimum two selections, the Blues were able to snatch up crafty forward Lila Keck and strong inside midfielder, Meg Robertson. The pair both do well in traffic, with Keck likely to add scoreboard pressure, while Robertson will be an important distributor for the Blues, also capable of playing half-forward. Lila Keck (Bendigo […]
