THE AFLW Supplementary Draft is done and dusted, all but bringing a chaotic player movement period to an end. While only 26 players were taken, several players earned another crack at the top level as clubs worked to carefully fill gaps in their lists. 

AFLW DRAFT WRAP Every selection as it happened

Yvonne Bonner (pick No.26) 

Irishwoman Yvonne Bonner will return to the AFLW this year after being picked up by Adelaide with the final selection of the draft. Bonner spent two years at GWS in 2019/2020, playing 11 games and kicking seven goals before visa issues during the COVID-19 lockdowns prevented her from returning. 

A couple of pregnancies and time back playing for Glenfin later, Bonner will head back to Australia to help fill the gap that has formed in Adelaide's forward line. After losing Erin Phillips and Ashleigh Woodland to Port Adelaide in successive off seasons, Bonner's goal nous will be valuable alongside the likes of Danielle Ponter and Abbie Ballard. 

Poppy Boltz (pick No.16) 

A tall, powerful midfielder, Poppy Boltz won the 2021 Jo Butland medal for the Best and Fairest player in the AFL Cairns competition. Boltz is tough at the contest and is no stranger to some of her new Brisbane teammates, including Belle Dawes, Jade Ellenger and Taylor Smith, after being part of Queensland's 2018 under 18s side. 

She will add some handy depth through the middle of the ground for a Brisbane side who has lost Emily Bates in recent months, while could also potentially be used in the arcs thanks to her 178cm.

Lulu Beatty (pick No.5) 
Maddy Hendrie (pick No.9) 
Marianna Anthony (pick No.19) 
Chloe Wrigley (pick No.25) 

One of two clubs to take four players at the draft, Carlton has added plenty of toughness at the contest with its selections. 

A foot injury to season seven Carlton train on player Lulu Beatty saw her slip out of contention in last year's draft, but the 18-year-old has the potential to become a long-term midfielder at the Blues. Meanwhile former North Melbourne train on player Marianna Anthony is fresh off a 2022 VFLW premiership with Essendon. A reliable ball winner, she is a strong two-way runner through the midfield and firms as a handy replacement for Elise O'Dea. 

Chloe Wrigley is another tough midfielder who isn't afraid to lay a tackle or five, coming from Peel Thunder in Western Australia, she has all the physical attributes to make a quick impact at the Blues. 

In attack, 19-year-old Maddy Hendrie shapes as an important inclusion. Standing at 180cm, she is a strong contested marking forward with a background in athletics and ideally will form a long-term partnership with key forward Mia Austin.

Eleri Morris (pick No. 13)
Selena Karlson (pick No.14) 

Hailing from the Wollongong, Eleri Morris has been a train on player at GWS, and will now slot into Collingwood's attacking line. Morris is a strong runner with good hands and will help to bolster the Pies' scoring power. While the club has also added former Bulldog and Saint Selena Karlson down back. 

At 180cm tall and strong in the one-on-one, Karlson looms as potential long-term cover for when experienced defender Stacey Livingstone chooses to hang up the boots. A run of injury issues kept Karlson to just three AFLW games in 2019, but now is her shot to really establish herself at the elite level. 

The Bombers didn't go to the draft, as they already filled their list throughout the sign and trade period. 

Tahleah Mulder (pick No.3) 
Emmelie Fiedler (pick No.7) 
Jae Flynn (pick No.17) 
Joanne Cregg (pick No.21) 

The other major player in the draft, Fremantle has added some strength and height with its four picks.  

Jae Flynn will likely line up across half back, bringing her impressive spatial awareness and athleticism thanks to a basketball background to that defensive line. And in the air, Emmelie Fiedler adds some neat tap work and height to support Mim Strom through the ruck. 

Yet another Irishwoman to join the AFLW, Joanne Cregg has been plying her trade at Wembley – the home club of fellow Dockers Amy Mulholland and Megan Kauffman – and recently took the step up to the WALFW with Subiaco. She is a competitive, hard nut. 

Meanwhile Tahleah Mulder, hailing from Piara Waters, offers some handy kicking penetration and attack at the contest. 

Erin Hoare (pick No.1) 

Former Cat and Demon, Erin Hoare was Geelong's sole selection, and with pick no.1 no less. A netballer with the Melbourne Vixens and NSW Swifts, Hoare was initially signed as a rookie by Melbourne for the 2018 season and moved to Geelong via expansion later that year. She played 11 career games before stepping away to focus on her academic studies as a postdoctoral research assistant.  

AFLW DRAFT How a high-achieving Cat came back to Geelong

At 194cm, Hoare is the tallest player in AFLW history, and will slot right into the ruck alongside Liv Fuller at the Cats, with Kalani Scoullar delisted and fellow netballer Samantha Gooden listed as inactive. 

Cara McCrossan (pick No.6)
Meara Girvan (pick No.10) 
One pass 

The Suns used two of their three selections at the draft, opting to pass on their final pick and instead fill that list spot with an undrafted free agent in the coming days. 

With pick No.6 however, they have added another Irish player with Cara McCrossan. A high half-forward, she already lives in Australia and has been playing with the Casey Demons in the VFLW. She is a pressure player with a bit of speed, and knows how to find the goals, so will be a valuable addition to a forward line that has recently lost Courtney Jones. 

Meara Girvan is a South Australian netballer who has made the switch to football in the past few years at Bond Uni. While injuries affected her 2022 season, the Suns will be looking to use her at half-back, and her aerial marking skills are a key attribute.

Caitlin Miller (pick No.8) 
Annise Bradfield (pick No.22) 

A quiet trade and sign period for the Giants has been capped off with two draft selections. Caitlin Miller, a teenager from Southport, is a midsized forward that effectively takes the place of the delisted Georgina Fowler. Overlooked in last year's draft, Miller gets her shot this year with GWS. 

And another player from the Queensland coast, former Sun Annise Bradfield will fit right in as Cam Bernasconi pushes an aggressive, running style of play. Bradfield was taken with pick no.7 in the 2020 draft but her AFLW career has been stunted by an ACL injury in just her second game. 

Mattea Breed (pick No.4) 
Kristy Stratton (pick No.18) 

A forward who moved from the Northern Territory to South Australia, Mattea Breed brings some energy to the attacking line at the Hawks. And the club has also rewarded former Pie Kristy Stratton's consistent form at VFLW level with another crack at the top level. 

Stratton played 11 AFLW games at Collingwood between 2018 and 2021 but just couldn't quite settle into the side and was ultimately delisted. Not to be dissuaded, she went back to the Box Hill Hawks at VFLW level and became one of the side's most dominant midfielders to earn a spot at the Hawks. 

The Demons didn't go to the draft, as they already filled their list throughout the sign and trade period. 

Ruby Tripodi (pick No.23) 

Initially North Melbourne wasn't planning on heading to the draft, but an unfortunate ACL injury to talented teenager Zoe Savarirayan threw them back into the mix. With pick no.26 they landed exciting Williamstown VFLW prospect Ruby Tripodi. 

A midfielder and forward, Tripodi has won the last two Williamstown best and fairest counts, and offers plenty of pressure at ground level. She will fit right in alongside established Roos like Alice O'Loughlin and Amy Smith. 

Jasmin Stewart (pick No.2) 
Katelyn Pope (pick No.12) 
Georgie Jaques (pick No.15) 

In their haul of three at the draft, the Power have added two familiar faces back to the fold. Former Docker Jasmin Stewart returns to AFLW level after stepping away from footy for a season. A neat midfielder who is also known to push forward and hit the scoreboard, Stewart will complement the inside strength Port Adelaide already boasts. 

In addition, Katelyn Pope was an injury replacement player with the Eagles back in season six and showed off her tenacity across the half forward line. Effectively a replacement for Kate Surman, who was traded to the Cats last month, Pope can add to the connection between midfield and forward. 

Meanwhile, Georgie Jaques is a Canberran ruck who has spent time in the SANFLW at Norwood more recently. A hard worker out of the GWS Academy, Jaques is a reliable hitout winner who will ideally develop a strong partnership with Matilda Scholz in the ruck for the Power. 

Shelby Knoll (pick No.24) 

A key forward from Castlemaine, Knoll has only this year made the jump up to VFLW level, playing with Casey Demons. Knoll was previously in the talent pathway, playing for Bendigo Pioneers in the then-TAC Cup of 2018. 

Her kicking is a key attribute, as is her overhead marking. The Tigers have rejigged their forward line over this player movement period, losing Courtney Wakefield to retirement but bringing in Caitlin Greiser and Courtney Jones, and capped off with the signing of Knoll. 

Beth Pinchin (pick No.20) 

Pinchin unfortunately ruptured her ACL in her one season on an AFLW list, having been an injury replacement player at Brisbane. She moved down to Victoria to play for St Kilda's affiliate Southern Saints this season, and is a steady and experienced defender. 

With the Saints having delisted Lucy Burke and lost Clara Fitzpatrick to Gold Coast, there are spots on offer in the backline. The 26-year-old has strong hands in the contest and isn't one to back down from a one-on-one. 

The Swans didn't go to the draft, as they already filled their list throughout the sign and trade period. 

The Eagles didn't go to the draft, as they already filled their list throughout the sign and trade period. 

Dominique Carruthers (pick No.11) 
Two passes 

The Dogs haven't quite yet finalised their list, set to take two players in the post-draft signing period which runs from Wednesday to Thursday. They have been heavily linked with ex-Lion Brianna McFarlane and former Giant Maggie Gorham. 

In Carruthers, they have landed themselves a hard-running midfielder who covers the ground well. The 27-year-old previously played at North Shore Bombers in the AFL Sydney competition, and has been most recently lining up for the Bulldogs' VFLW team. The 177cm Carruthers is a former soccer player.
