Grand Final

[DJC]

So often during the game, the term 'brutal' was continually used and was backed up by the actions of many players on the ground and well done to them. Their attack on the ball and player was exceptional. .

It made for a good spectacle............but do mothers walk away from watching that saying 'THAT'S the sport I want my daughter to play!!"

I would argue that the skill, fitness and professionalism of the Matildas would be far more attractive to parents than the self confessed 'brutality' of AFLW at the highest level.

Probably not ... but that's why lots of girls are busting a gut to play AFLW and why the women's game will never "evolve" into something radically different to the men's game.
