AFLW Round 5: Carlton vs Adelaide at Norwood

[LP]

Also, its very quick to write off Lauren Arnell after an orindary start to the season.  A 3 - 4 week soft tissue injury can render a player ineffective and out for half a season in AFLW and they wouldnt want to be missing many and absolutely would be playing through duress given the short seasons.

I back our girl in to be even better next year, and to finish this season strongly even if she is under done for most of it.

True, but I cannot recall any player running a full game out uninjured for zero possessions.

Personally, from the body language, attitude, communications and organisational perspective, I think the likes of Arnell and Loynes are worth far more than just their football. They are almost on-field coaches.
