“Yallop is an awesome signing as long as she is over her recent injuries. It hampered her participation in Brisbanes finals campaign. Is another great signing for our young girls to learn off.”

Shame they have to sack the local young talent in order to find room for aging, injury prone players at the end of their careers

Go away, you cant see the benefits of the signings they have made you may as well go and watch someone else. So you would prefer we dont take part in finals and our young players dont get the benefit of the senior players because we arnt winning anything without some of those experienced players.

Going to need some elaboration on the "loading up a team with broken down has-beens".

Yallop has had injury issues recently, but Erceg is coming off being one of the best players in a league stronger than the A-League. One player isn't "loading up".

There also doesn't appear to be many of the "talent you've developed for years" being released, other than Brazendale who hasn't shown the ability to play consistently at this level. 

Seems like hyperbole and being negative for the sake of it rather than any basis in reality.

Just an opinion, let’s revisit mid season when the Nix are obviously going to be out of reach and injury free 😉

I don’t think loading up a team with broken down has-beens at the expense of talent you’ve developed for years is the way forward for a club.
If the plan is to spend up large to buy a title in a given year that’s great but if it fails it’s back to the drawing board

Don't respond to Elbo, He's just a stirrer, that same person that always posited negative stuff previous under a different user name.
Don't give him fuel.

But it does look like she and the club have agreed to a mutual termination according to Phillip Rollo

Edit: And heavily alluded to by Bev in her press conference about signing Yallop.

Of all the places for something like this to be confirmed, a fashion segment of a Christchurch newspaper is an odd place - but Macey Fraser is gone.

I am reluctant to do "diagnosis via Instagram posts", but this kind of looks like bipolar behavior (burn your bridges one day and say 'just jokes' the next)
