IMHO they reflect best where our footy club is at.
People don't depart good organisations easily.
This is less true of professional environments as there is a financial drawcard that keeps people involved but the aflw is not there yet and might speak for why we're bleeding talent.
They do when the commitment is as transient as an AFLW season, as you suggest Thry.
I heard Lauren Arnell talking about the disruption the coming AFLW season will have on her life and career and I think it will be some time before an AFLW career takes priority over other issues.
It is interesting that the mass exodus of our AFLW stars, as predicted by self-appointed experts, didn’t eventuate. Perhaps we’re not as bad as the haters like to think.
