Damn! I rally rate Hardiman. She may not be that quick, but she is a great competitor and was an excellent defender for us in the last 2 years. Gillespie-Jones was also a very solid defender for us.
Nor will they be easy for us to replace.
You can sort of see what is happening, the whole competition is being taken to a new lower less professional level, to make the games more open and scoring higher.
There is some irony that the new teams are focused mostly of defenders, especially given the AFLs criticism of Carlton.
