Now that the rounds are over I thought it would be interesting to see which players clubs could be looking to recruit next year, and where players might like to move to form combinations/gain court time. Interesting to speculate where some international stars might fit in as well. With the creation of an 8th team there could be even more movement than expected next season.
Firebirds: Lightning have both Batcheldor and Bell in the wings, and I think Batcheldor would be great for Firebirds. Provides them more of a back up GS option as well over Stower.
Lightning: As much as I would like to see her stay at Swifts, I think Fraser would be a great starter for them across any of the midcourt positions. It would balance their midcourt better than having 2 WA specialists (as they’ve had thus far) or 2 WD specialists (if they brought in a WD and kept Black).
Swifts: I don’t know if they’d be able to afford her, but Fudoju would offer excellent WD and GD cover.
Giants: I wonder if Jury could be lured over. She’s played under JFitz before. Otherwise Dehaney or bring Ash Ervine back to NSW.
8th team: Kate Eddy hasn’t gotten as much court time this year and would be a great WD/GD swing for the 8th teammate with Brazil’s retirement. There are a host of GAs who could be great for them as well.
I think Vixens, T’Birds and Fever are pretty complete.
