The NAB AFL Women’s Draft is that moment, for many, when a dream becomes reality – the day when a new or unsigned player’s life can change in an instant.
Congratulations to Erin Hoare, who was selected by Geelong with the No.1 pick at the AFLW Season Eight Supplementary Draft in April.
Hoare returned to Geelong after time off to focus on her studies, with the Cats selecting the 194cm ruck with the first selection of the supplementary draft.
Former Saint and Bulldog Selena Karlson joined Collingwood, while former top-10 pick Annise Bradfield joined Greater Western Sydney.
Several other players found their way back onto AFLW lists, but plenty of others were given their first crack at AFLW.
