Turns out the Bombers are a much worse team when they don't stack their team with AFLW-listed players. Who would have thought?We kicked the last five goals against the reigning premiers.
Hawthorn was listening to me complain about the Bombers using their AFLW-listed players. The Hawks rocked up to Moorabbin with 7 AFLW-listed players and at least another 7 who have previously been on AFLW lists. At least, in this case, almost all of the AFLWers were developing players. Fair question as to why none of St Kilda's developing players were out there. I get not wanting to risk anybody important, but getting some games into players that might struggle to get one at AFLW level seems like it might be good for development.
The Hawks handled the conditions much better. I believe the Saints only scored with the breeze in the first and third quarters. Really struggled to move the ball forward in the second and fourth quarters. The better team on the day clearly won. Hopefully things go better next week against the Cats.
It's a development league, so I don't see any problem with the Hawks playing somebody like Baskaran. Perkins is the one that isn't like the others, but she's a fringe AFLW player. The Bombers situation last year had the added layer of everybody else pulling their listed players out of the comp and them leaving theirs in. This isn't that.As soon as I saw the score I thought "ah yeah, how many AFLW players did the Hawks field?". Good experience for our Southern Saints though. I would've thought Ty Smith would be good to get some time there coming back from a long break. And I want to know where Matin will end up.
We might be doing the honourable things, but the record books will show that the premierships are being won by the clubs fielding AFLW players. Pricks win cups.
I'm a little surprised. Not that Winnie was bad or anything, just that Boyd was so dominant in the stuff I saw. Hopefully the top-3 all make the VFLW team of the year. In my extremely biased eyes, they all deserve the honour.Big year from Winnie, taking out the B&F
