VFLW 2021

The VFLW is starting up very soon.
Interesting indeed is starting the VFLW season while the AFLW is still going. It does suggest that the ladies who miss out will get game time, although that is hard to confirm. Maybe someone with a better internet connection can confirm that.

I must admit that I have been quite irritated that the girls who miss out each week had no opportunity to impress in the past.
In the past there has been no opportunity to groom girls, as anyone can draft them from the VFLW. I wonder if that is still the case. There are a LOT of girls playing AFLW who started with Carlton in the VFLW!

The VFLW season started, from the sounds of things, last weekend. We lost by 6 goals to Casey.
It has been very difficult to get any information about this group of girls, but ...

There are a few 'highlight' on the Carlton website. However, be warned, not many of them appear to be much of highlights. That suggests the standard can't be all that high.
I still can't find out anything about the VFLW list.

Girls lost to Port Melbourne by a fair bit. It looks like the VFL girls are not strong this year.

Brooke Walker picked to play VFLW this week. Hopefully she smashed it because we need her next week.

That would be nice.
Actually having some talent and leadership out there will help the VFL girls a lot.

Must have worked: the VFLW Blues had their 1st win for the season.

I looked through the report and there was no mention of Brooke Walker in it, nor in the photos.

Maybe she didn't end up playing?

I couldn't see her in any of the highlights either. Limited time on the field? Whatever. It bodes poorly for her availability in either of the last 2 games.

However, a win over Darebin is a win, and after 2 ordinary losses, a win is most satisfactory.

For those interested in the ladder and fixture for the VFL women's, this is the pretty much the only thing I could find, and it took a while to find it. Not sure why it needs to be so obscure, but anyway :
