Harris looking at a match
Reprimand for Stevens
AFLW, the game style and intensity, is just starting to look interesting as the girls get fitter, better skilled and stronger and they are going to stamp the interest out of it with charges for trivial contact.
As an aside, does the girl who hit the deck get a week for faking "head contact" from hit to the chest, a fake for a free which cost Harris a week? Little Georgia Gee cops head high hits like that 2 or 3 times a game when trying to tackle and doesn't even get a free kick!
Is Tayla Harris the AFLW version of Lance Franklin, Lance handed out several bumps like that to smaller players last year and hardly copped even a review! Where is the double standards coming from?
If AFLW players are going to be stung a week for that then Tayla and her ilk might just as well do a proper job!
Stevens threw her arm back so she probably has to cop the fine.
