The only way they get crowds is that it is free if people had to pay nobody would turn up.
If this is the level of skill at that level I would hate to think what is happening in local grades!!!!
I just watched the Melbourne v GWS game and thought the same.
GWS have a forward who took a mark and I quote the commentary team
‘This should be interesting as she doesn’t know how to kick a drop punt’
WTF!
They crack in but that’s about it.
My daughter played local level last season Div3 or 4. Skill level is poor. Her team played a scratch match against their boys under 14's and got beat. Having said that, at a club level, it's about fun and fitness. Hoping my daughter plays again over here this winter in Melbourne. Latrobe Uni have a few girls teams so that would be a good fit.
