AFLW 2022.2 - First practice match - Dees vs Blues - curtainraiser.

[kruddler]

She wasn't too bad, would be quite useful to us in the absence of Gee.

It might be that the Dawks see giving Tilly the Captaincy puts them in the frame to snag Davey, as we have mentioned before many times, and as Carlton fans know after the Prespakis / Geee debacle, AFLW list management works very differently from the men!

Gee vs Lucas-Rodd are on opposite ends of the midfield spectrum.

Gee is Eddie Betts - Lucas Rodd is Ed Curnow.
Gee can run run run, do the impossible.
Lucas-Rodd will put her head over the ball and give it her all at every contest, but don't expect her to chase anyone down or kick long and accurately.
Both have their place, but not the same type of player.

FWIW, Lucas-Rodd was in the leadership group at the saints too and may have been one of the captains (They had 4 at once at one stage) She has leadership qualities.....just sooked it up when she was with us because of how we treated Davey (and vice versa).
