St Kilda's difficulties in building a competitive list since joining the AFLW in 2020 have persisted. The team has faced challenges attracting players, partly due to a lack of the 'big club factor' and losing access to high draft picks. Additionally, high player turnover has led to a reliance on drafting rather than retaining talent.
