Re: AFLW 2022

That was the point I was making.
There are different pressures and expectations for coaches and teams for the AFL and AFLW comps.
Coaches in the AFLW wont feel the (sometimes) extreme judgements an AFL coach faces.
It may come eventually, but while teams and lists remain so unsettled as the competition grows, most AFLW coaches can go about the job of team building without too many concerns.
I think that’s right Lods, but there have been some rapid departures, like Damien Keeping.
I reckon there will be pressure on the AFLW to appoint female coaches before too much longer. I don’t know whether there have been many female (or non-binary) participants in the level 4 program but that will happen. Perhaps that will lead to a distinctive brand of footy 🤔
