On the Bulldogs’ Supplementary Draft plans...
“Being a Supplementary Draft, you’re obviously looking at a more mature-age draft pool, so the focus for us was trying to bring in some players that already had some experience. Some of the ones that we’ve brought in will come in straight away and perform for us.
“We think there’s a role there for each of those players – we’re looking forward to seeing what they can do.”
On draftee Dominique Carruthers...
“Dom is a hard-at-it (type of player) – she’s a quick inside mid, and we really feel like she’s going to add to the midfield group that we’ve got while bringing something a little bit different to that dynamic.”
On free agent Bri McFarlane...
“Bri is a tall forward who we think can pinch-hit in the ruck as well. She’s super athletic and launches at the footy really well, so we’re excited to see what she brings.”
On free agent Maggie Gorham...
“We’d probably describe Maggie as a bit of a utility. She’s got really high footy IQ, and we think that she could play a number of different roles for us.”
On retaining majority of the list...
“It was a really strong focus for us going into that period, so it was great to see that commitment from the group. The girls really want to build on what they’ve been putting together over the last couple of years.”
