FOURTEEN players agreed to terms on the second-last day of the initial AFLW and Trade and Signing Period on Wednesday, with Brisbane again in the spotlight.
The under-siege Lions announced they had re-signed their 2019 best and fairest, midfielder Ally Anderson, and defenders Breanna Koenen, Shannon Campbell and Arianna Clarke.
However, they said goodbye to midfielders Nat Exon and Kate McCarthy, who joined new team St Kilda, and defender McKenzie Dowrick, who heads home to Western Australia to join West Coast.
Brisbane received three compensatory draft selections for losing players over and above the expansion teams' signing limit of eight of its players: the Saints' first-rounder (currently pick 11) for McCarthy, Richmond's first choice (12) for Sabrina Frederick, and the Eagles' first pick (13) for Dowrick.
On top of grabbing Dowrick, the Eagles also secured forward Kellie Gibson and ruck Alicia Janz from Fremantle. All three settled on two-year contracts.
Key forward Sarah Perkins headlines Adelaide’s delistings. The 2017 premiership player managed just two games this year, playing SANFLW for most of the season, with Sally Riley, Katelyn Rosenzweig and Rheanne Lugg also without contracts.
Jenna McCormick, who also plays W-League for Brisbane Roar, has chosen to pursue soccer fulltime.
North Melbourne locked away two Tasmanians, onballer/defender Nicole Bresnehan (for the next two seasons) and midfielder/forward Daria Bannister for 2020.
The Western Bulldogs re-signed midfielder Aisling Utri, ruck Kim Rennie and defender Bailey Hunt.
Carlton, Geelong, Greater Western Sydney, the least active of the teams, are expected to make announcements on Thursday.
The first AFLW Trade and Signing Period concludes on Thursday, with a second phase (only for non-expansion teams) and a free agency window for teams to sign delisted players from April 23-26.
