I was half listening to the wireless recently when a comment from a national women’s sport administrator (cricket I think) caught my attention. It was along the lines “not women playing men’s sport but women playing their version of the sport.”
I have mixed feelings when I see an AFLW player bump an opponent when the ball is out of play. It’s mildly amusing to see the girls aping an unnecessary part on the men’s game but it’s sad that they think that they have to.
As for the review, it will be disappointing if player retention is not highlighted as a key factor in our failure to consistently feature in the finals. I don’t know if Harf is the best coach for us but he seems to get the most out of a list that has its share of issues.
