Overview
- Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner will enter Monday’s AFLW draft after North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs failed to agree on terms before the deadline.
- Her agent accused the Bulldogs of “saving face” on picks, while North’s list boss said the club will attempt to secure her at the draft.
- Bulldogs list manager Dan Fisher said North only offered late selections, with No.37 the best on the table, and that the Dogs had more equitable options in mind.
- GWS confirmed additions of Tilly Lucas-Rodd and Poppy Boltz, ruled out moving All-Australian defender Cambridge McCormick, and a floated three-club bid involving Sydney’s Brenna Tarrant and North’s Emily Pease was shelved.
- Other late outcomes included Brisbane’s pursuit of Collingwood vice-captain Jordyn Allen falling over, West Coast trading in Keeley Skepper on Tuesday night, and Gold Coast’s earlier sale of pick No.1 to Richmond shaping draft positioning.
