Doggies vs Dees

OK cool.

Isn't there also some kind of rules for the draft that means vic clubs draft vic players?

Those players nominating for the draft get to nominate which state draft pool they want to be put into.

A Vic player can nominate for the QLD draft pool, SA pool etc... for example
Selecting the VIC pool means there are a possible four teams be to be selected by.
All other states will get down to whether that club rates you high enough to be picked.

They will then only be selected by that state. If they don't get picked up they are not eligible to be picked up in any other state draft pool.

Hope that makes sense.

From what I've seen, congestion isn't an issue in women's footy; one of the reasons why it's good to watch.  However, the alliance with AFL may influence the coaches to copy AFL tactics.

16 a side certainly helps with less congestion.

But to me it always gets down to executing the skills of the game properly that eliminates congestion.

At all levels, players spread & run and if the skills are executed correctly, teams a opened up and the game flows quickly with no congestion.

Teams of course will deploy tactics to cover that, which causes congestion if the skills aren't  pinpoint or the ball movement slowed.

With regards to last nights game, the girls actually used an smaller football than they usually use and talking to them after the game they all said that the ball felt different off the boot and took some adjustment with the force used to pinpoint passes. Generally the majority of those girls at this level would hit targets on a regular basis with the ball they normally use.

But overall, I thought the game was at a good standard. And very much what you'd see at the VFL level with regards to hardness, run & courage.

Perfect sense. Girls don't nominate where they are not willing to move too.

By that logic it would appear that WA + SA will have a better crop than NSW + QLD as more girls would play there and be less likely to wanna move.
