Don't think we've lost anything there.
Keryk was brilliant in her first season. Pathetic last year.
Ditto Attard.
Shierlaw showed promise, but lacked improvement
Last was just making up the numbers.
Yes, Shierlaw was a little disappointing, showed a lot of promise with plenty of athleticism but turned out to be a tap ruck and not much else. I had expected her to have far more influence around the ground than she showed!
In the women's game winning the tap is even less valuable than the men's, primarily because the girls hardly ever find truly clean possessions. You just don't find the girl's doing a Judd style breakaway, there isn't that differential in strength and speed in the midfield that you find as a differential in the men's competition. To me it's a big reason why the girls should not be coached in men's style game plans and tactics, and that AFL fans should not expect to go to AFLW and see the female equivalent!
