I didn't watch any of the weekend's footy, but, as is my Godgiven right as an Australian sports consumer, that does not stop me from commenting.
Scoring is obviously a problem across the entire league. Some are saying it is because the games are shorter in duration.
From the little AFLW I have seen, I reckon they could play for a couple of days and they'd still struggle to amass much of a score.
It is Not Very Good and our team is particularly scheisse.
So what is to be done?
Well, we have form here. The women's team.needs a few characters whose personality captures hearts in spite of the accompanying skillset.
Lets start by ditching the current captain. Being nicknamed Juddy tells me everything I need to know about what is wrong. We don't need a poor copy of the wrong thing to start with.
Get a captain with her own nickname and tell us why it's a good one.
Get us some women Wolves. We need the chick version of a Clive. We need these sheilas to stand up and out of the corporate dross and be PEOPLE who we can't help but support.
Stop talking about what the league could be or standing in the shadow of the blokes..
Let us know who these women are and why we should think they are Freo.
If they are genuinely Freo, well, ****, they're ours and we're behind them.
