watching the double header, WB V Melb now Freo v WC, I'm a bit shocked at the umpiring, just not enough protection for the woman. A lot of scragging and holding without the ball, front on contact, in the backs and high tackles ignored.
 
Ebony Antonio just kicked an early GOTY contender for Freo. A doozy.

Umpiring is def different. They let so much more go, kinda like a men's finals match.

At one stage in about the last a commentator said they'd brought in the stand rule. I hadn't noticed it all game, I think because the umps weren't umpiring to the millimetre

My son asked me why players from the AFLW changed clubs so often?
I explained to him it’s a woman’s prerogative.
The kids had got a lot to learn
