MELBOURNE has added seven new players to its AFLW list for the 2020 season, which means seven new numbers have been dished out.
Former Bulldog Libby Birch was the club’s biggest recruit during the Sign and Trade Period, while the Dees have also landed two Gaelic Footballers, Niamh McEvoy and Sinead Goldrick, for the upcoming season.
Jackie Parry, Brenna Tarrant, Krstel Petrevski and Gabby Colvin became Demons during the draft, completing Melbourne’s squad of 30 for season four of the AFLW competition.
And of course, the red and blue are set to benefit from the return of Daisy Pearce, as the dual Best and Fairest winner will pull on the No.6 once again in 2020.
