Great stuff. When I read tgat he was coming out of contract I did wonder.
He deserves it after reinventing the team with a new game plan and winning a premiership
He was terrible in the first season, trying to implement a game plan not suited to women’s football at that stage. Turning it around and making the girls all the better for it, was truly remarkable and he certainly deserves his contract extension.
Where did the AFLW team finish last year? It was like second or third last wasn't it?
Think it was 3rd last but in that season we only had one forward who was injured .Quote:

I have found the women's sides tend to play the same as the men AFL side structurally.
We finished 1st in 2018, hence the home GF. There were no preliminary or semi finals.Quote:
