Are we surprised given the recent history of former player behaviour that several on our list turn out to be a tad disingenuous?
Like I said, I don't begrudge them going for the money, I can't fault the efforts of both on the field, and once Full Free Agency comes in as it must we will see more of this on the men's side of the game as well.
For example this concept of loan players being floated is really just one step closer to the trading of players mid-season.
But that doesn't detract from the current apparent lack of integrity in the AFLW competition structure, it's really an AFL problem and they seem to be wilfully ignoring it at this stage. I suppose they will claim they are playing the long game!
