Per Sophie’s interview comments, let’s recap:
Year | New players | Average age on game day |
---|---|---|
2018 | 37 | 24.7 |
2019 | 26 | 27.3 |
2021 | 17 | 26.2 |
2022 | 17 | 26.4 |
2023 | 33 | 22.7 |
At the midpoint of the year (22 May), our top three players were:
Molan 22.1 years old
Dicker 22.3 years old
Clarke 22.0 years old
… so all under our weighted average.
(Shut up, I’m not recalculating without Mia and Kenny.)
I’m not doing every-team comparisons, but I see just now that Geelong played 38 players in the VFLW this year (and went from first to not making finals in the closing weeks). We played 49.
Some real good tackles there.
Brief gallery from the B&F at:
Sophie Molan is VFLW full-back of the year.
Tamsin and Bella should give her ■■■■ over that, as she played (guess) less than half of the season at CHB and the rest as a midfielder. But we’ll take it; she’s got Pavlich covered.
Grace Dicker made the VFLW Squad of the Year, but not Team of the Year.
