She is an experienced over-ager who works hard and can lock down key players. In terms of the Victorian metropolitan talent, Eastern Ranges midfielder\/forward, <\/span><b>Gabriella De Angelis <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could still be available at their pick after 24 picks, which would be a handy pick-up for the Roos. De Angelis shone in the midfield for the Ranges during the TAC Cup Girls season and developed her forward prowess in Vic Metro colours and with the Southern Saints later in the year. Her Ranges teammate, <\/span><b>Charlotte Wilson\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could also feature in North\u2019s line-up, with her ability to play in multiple positions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NORTH Melbourne has gone bang in the AFL Women\u2019s off-season, poaching experienced players from everywhere.
