          Including three of the top four in RMC's most recent power rankings.

          I really hope we get Neyland. I saw her dominate in an academy game earlier this year. I'm a little surprised to see her so high in these power rankings, but clearly I wasn't imagining what I saw in her in that game.

          She also has a couple of younger sisters who are following her through the academy path.

              Caught the replay of the AFLW Futures game from last week - these are girls eligible for the 2026 draft, and there were a few good Swans Academy prospects on display.

              - Charlotte Tidemann. Very attacking half-back/wing, always looking to take meters and drive the ball forward. Speedy with good all-round skills and good vision when kicking to advantage. Seemed to cover a lot of ground, but there were lots of blonde girls with ponytails running around so maybe I attributed extra possessions to her. I presume the sister of our VFL player.
              - Grace Tracey. Played fullback and was a rock. Read the play to intercept, took strong contested marks and tackled hard. Stayed involved in contests and generated plenty of rebounds. Took the kickouts and generally went long. 182cm tall already.
              - Frankie Walsh. Quieter than her teammates, played wing and HFF. Her vivid red hair made her easy to spot, but didn't gain a lot of possessions.

                  AFLW Trade period will start tomorrow and is running until next Wednesday.

                  Apparently Taylor Smith of Brisbane has nominated us as her preferred destination. Which is good as a proven goal-kicking tall forward is just what we need, but is bad as it might impact our ability to draft all our Academy girls.
                  We shall see I guess.
