Congratulations to our three All Australians but Brianna Davey was robbed
She had an outstanding season as a classic swingperson (that doesn’t sound right) and I don’t think there is another player in the competition who could play forward, back and midfield. Perhaps not playing in a specific position is why she missed out.
It's interesting, while I appreciate Bri's season I thought she was yet to regain her prior form.
I appreciate Harf often had her in a new role, but I thought despite getting lots of football she just wasn't that effective in 2019, almost like she was wasted. Assuming she stays with Carlton I'd like to see her return to the HB in 2020, and to have a bunch of players like the Hoskings, Harrington, Gee and Walker feed off her, I don't give a stuff if we win games 30 to 20 as long as we win! There is something to be said about forcing opposition turnovers off the HBF which makes them run Yo-Yo for 4 qrts.
imho, Bri was hands down by some significant margin the AFLW's best playing off HB.
As a club, men and women, we keep doing this, we keep taking players who have it all and turning them into a standardised version of average. I'm sure if Ablett Jnr came to Carlton he'd end up in the back pocket because he is reliable there without being exceptional!
