Confess I haven't watched a lot of AFLW, but early on in particular thought the standard was pretty good. Foot skills for the most part were of a high standard, and general method of how they wanted to play was visible and reasonable.
Obviously as the game went on and fatigue/pressure kicked in these areas declined a bit.. but still.
You can see the girls who have clearly come through playing junior footy with the boys, then kept playing right through teenage years until now - they just look more natural, more comfortable and technically more astute.
One area that does look awkward is handballing.

Good summary Bedge, the game improvement has been huge since round 1.

Just my opinion

I think it's because they're not skilled enough.

They adjust the ball and tend to look at it while they do.

Then, with all due respect, you don't get a right to an opinion on the matter.

The players don't abuse each other, they just don't talk to each other instead.
