It was probably more obvious not having watched for some time.
The standard of player skills has gone through the roof - in the first season, most of the players kicked the ball like your Mum did off the back verandah. Now, the majority are comfortably kicking drop punts and actually finding targets, and handball has improved out of sight. The very best (like Maddy Prespakis) have developed skills that are not too far behind the men.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
