Tomorrow (April 18) marks the last day of the Sign and Trade Period so it's not long until we know where everyone will play in 2020.
Brisbane Lions
All Australian and Lions Best & Fairest winner Ally Anderson has pledged her allegiance to the Club for the 2020 season.
All three Best & Fairest winners in the Club’s history; Anderson, Kate Lutkins and Emily Bates; have signed on for next season.
“I’m really excited to re-sign with the Lions, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” she said.
“We have a quality group of players and people and I can’t wait to get back into it.”
Joining Anderson are fellow foundation players Breanna Koenen and Shannon Campbell, in addition to Arianna Clarke, who played her second season for the Lions in 2019.

The club will also have four opportunities to acquire the best young talent in the first round of the upcoming Draft after receiving three first round picks as compensation from the AFL for their traded players.
The Lions already hold the second overall pick.
The AFL have compensated the Club after Sabrina Frederick was traded to Richmond; Kate McCarthy to St Kilda and McKenzie Dowrick to West Coast Eagles.
“With the Gold Coast Suns coming on board this year the draft will be very competitive,” Lions Women’s CEO Breeanna Brock said.
“While we are disappointed to lose quality players to other expansion clubs, we feel this will give us an advantage.”
West Coast Eagles
The new West Australian team secured forward Kellie Gibson and ruck Alicia Janz from Fremantle alongside Dowrick, all on a two-year contract.
Western Bulldogs
They re-signed midfielder Aisling Utri, ruck Kim Rennie and defender Bailey Hunt.
The Women's Game will bring full squad list after 2020 AFLW Lists have been confirmed by the AFL.
