Your view on likelihood of a future, expanded AFLW drop in standard, Pie4Life?Vic Country v Qld. Lopsided score, but Qld played much better than the scores indicate.
Having watched 2 games now, can also say that the basic skills or tackling, protecting yourself when you put your head over the ball, finding an outlet even when under pressure, are much more developed and consistent than the AFLW... there is a lot of players in this carnival that are going to be very good AFLW players. Those predicting a drop in standard due to expansion are wrong imop,[Great to hear!] there is a LOT of very good footballers coming through.
Also, as per my post #20 above, to turbocharge interest/respect/crowds/Ratings for the AFLW ("footy street cred"), do you believe a focus should be placed on training/encouraging a few, very well co-ordinated players from each AFLW side to do hangers & torps? Do you remember the huge amount of MSM coverage/video when Taylah Harris took a hanger in a Melb. vs. Footscray exhibition match?
