They'll be fine, a lot of our girls are elite sporting converts, while the Crows are bringing the best seasoned female football talent out of SA and NT competitions.
One thing that may be difficult for Carlton fans to accept in coming seasons will be the diminished influence of Vesio. Her star shone brightly at the start simply off the back of her superior strength, skills, agility and mobility. But with more girls getting semi-professional training and exposer Darcy's natural advantages will evaporate. Even the girls coming from other elite sports realise now they have to go to another level to meet the demands of playing AFL at a high level.
You can't just be big or strong, fast, agile, smart or brave to be a star in AFL, you have to have it all!
