AFLW Votes: Carlton vs Freo; Rd 7

[kruddler]

I suspect that playing all players was deliberate; both for our list development and to give marginal players an opportunity of showing their wares to expansion clubs.

It would be interesting to see whether other teams played all or most of their lists.  30 players does seem just a little light on though.

Since i've got the data on hand.

From our list of 30,
--10 players played every game
Vescio
Pound
Gay
Harrington
S. Hosking
Moody
Stevens
Audley
Downie
Li

--7 players played 2 games or less.
Cochrane (1) - rookie
Attard (1) - played every game last year, 31yo lost form this season got flogged in her only game in R6.
Grieves (2) - rookie
Last (2) - Played a couple of games last year before doing her ACL.
Webb (2) - rookie
Plane (2) - 21yo, played 1 game last year.
Davey (2) - Captain, injured ACL
Keryk (2) - VC last year who struggled for form this season. Was amongst our best last year

So all 3 rookies, our captain and former vice captain among them, along with a certain starter last year.

--Everyone else played 4-6 games.
Some missed through suspension or injury.
Others were 18/19yo's being introduced into the system.

I don't think we played people for playing thems sake.
