I wasn't a fan of the AFLW comp last year mainly due to the lack of basic skills that are below local U16s IMO.
So as I'm getting impatient waiting for the real season to start and after hearing some in the media saying the game is a better spectacle this year, scoring more with general skills have improved I wanted to give it another chance.
Well i watched closely from the 2nd quarter and maybe i need glasses but i just dont see it......nothing for the better has changed for me. While I can see they try hard and endeavor is definitely there, the reality is at the risk of being labelled as negative, when you see 3 times players missing running goals with no pressure 10 metres straight in front and most that cant even execute a simple bounce on the run, sorry but to be brutally honest I spent more time laughing then cheering.
Between AFLX and AFLW the current preseason viewing is painful to say the least. Round 1 of the real game cant come quickly enough for me (and for those that say 'don't watch it then' trust me I wont be)
