As a Swans supporter, this makes me very happy

And as a Pies supporter, this angers me greatly. She had no rhyme nor reason to leave until this new period came into play and she would be able to walk to the club. Who would want to go from a contender to the worst team in the league? And the inequality of the concessions is crazy. No matter the ease of the draw, Essendon should not be getting these same consessions.

She was going to leave the Pies regardless.

She’s out of contract and she decided to leave rather then seek a new contract at Collingwood. This isnt some sort of unique phenomenon.

Why does anyone do anything?

Looks like Sarah Rowe could leave the Pies as she has signed with soccer team Bohemian FC in Ireland and the season runs from March-December, so another big loss for Collingwood should she depart.

The three-way trade also sees St Kilda forward Kate Shierlaw joining North Melbourne, alongside partner (and club captain) Emma Kearney. While Kangaroos midfielder Grace Campbell depart for Collingwood, along with Pick 15 in the upcoming AFLW Season 8 Supplementary Draft.

Still find it insane that a nurse doesn’t trust science…then again they have next to no actual medical training beyond the caring for the person.

Agree with the sentiment, but nursing courses are brutal - a pretty heavy academic load before being thrown into placements in often under-resourced hospitals or clinics.

If anything, makes her stance even more bewildering.

The Blues unveiled Buck as full-time coach on Tuesday just hours before the supplementary draft, in which Cartlon holds four picks, including two in the top 10.

Buck was appointed from the Blues’ VFL men’s program after joining the club ahead of the 2021 season. He was promoted to senior assistant of the VFL side in November.

With the AFLW and A-League Women seasons overlapping, Casey may only be able to play for Hawthorn for up to two months before returning to Victory.
