3 Votes Davey - Starred all around the ground, stopped opo attacks and create scoring opportunities for us.
2 Votes Vescio - Excitement machine pure and simple
1 Vote Arnell - Tried hard all night, led from the front, very vocal.
Special mention to me ol' mate SEC, tried her guts out and was BOG for the oppo by a country mile.
Although it wasnt pretty early mainly due to nerves, it got better as the game went on with the endeavour and attack on the footy was as good as I have seen in any game I have watched (male or female). Daisy Pearce made a poignant comment after the game about how the girls now have access to elite facilities, access to video straight after to training for reviews etc etc. You will see skills and standards improve dramatically and even 12 mths from now, will look very different IMO.
Well done AFLW and CFC for putting on that show. It seems they learnt something about putting on a game at PP from the NAB game v CheatsFC last year which was a debacle for the crowd. The atmosphere appeared electric (on TV) and if that wasn't an advert for getting games back to PP, I dont know what is.
Go Blues.
