You dont have the names of the players for Queensland do you. Hard to tell what it signifies for the depth of footy in Qld without knowing who was in the teamThe Queensland Academy played the Victorian Academy in two matches over the weekend.
Both games contained different squads.
In game one on Friday night at Whitten Oval, the Vics won by 2 points.
In game two on Sunday afternoon at Punt Road, the Vics won by 65 points!
Not an issue if they are prepared to allow top ups. They must have considered the implications of a bad injury run with so few numbers. I can even imagine the squads consisting of 25 official squad players, but with another group of 'rookies' running around with them at training.
AFLQ have posted that the Sunday squad had 3 exhibition game players to the Vs 12. Zanchetta did play the first or second year, so if they are including her, Zanchetta, Bates, Zielke?
I think it is also the women wanting more traditional gear. Taken with other changes it might be a bit much. Potentially different sized ground, different number of players, different rules, different uniform. Given they are playing footy because they love it, cannot see them being impressed.
What makes you confident of the cats and blues? Hearing whispers Collingwood are likely to get a licence, we just built our new training facility to suit having a women's team, with female changerooms etc.
There were rumours that there would be no Sydney team and two from WA.
Sydney said straight out no facilities or training ground suitable for the women and will not be for probably 10 years, because they are waiting for some redevelopment to get under way, well down the track. Perhaps they are dropping a fishing line at AFL House to assist.
Nah Giants are very in.
North aren't bidding
