More volatility in the AFL
Women’s Power Rankings this week as the question of how good each of these new
teams are remains relatively unsettled.
Adelaide looks to be pretty
good, as it jumps to the top of the rankings after a comfortable road win against
last week’s leaders the Bulldogs. So do – somewhat surprisingly – the Brisbane
Lions. The bookmakers
initially had them down as likely to struggle, but they move up into second
on the rankings after consecutive away wins against previously fancied
opponents.
At the other end pre-season
rankings leaders the Western Bulldogs and Fremantle are now considered to be a
bit off the pace. And at the very bottom are my wife’s and two-year-old
daughter’s AFLW team, Collingwood. My wife has decided that my daughter should
adopt her club in AFLW as my club, Richmond, is absent. While I have cautiously
accepted this, my daughter’s shouts of ‘More more Maggies’ have set a dangerous
precedent. Perhaps a last placed finish for the women Magpies is what I need to dissuade her from becoming permanently entrenched in black and white.
