Trainer I know has a club football player about to head to AFLW. She had a S&C coach, he worked her up to deadlifting 40kg, thought it was pretty good. Now, my trainer friend is obviously going to improve on that, but this shows you what's happening in the league. They're recruiting women who can deadlift as much weight as a previously sedentary 65yo woman will do her first day in my gym.
Between club and league, they also play 12 months round.
Evidently they are just throwing eggs at the wall to see which ones won't break. Why bother actually training them when you have so many who want to play? Break them and replace them. Hey, at least they're not treating the women in footy any differently to the men.
What a bunch of cnts. It's coaching malpractice. Fuckin' AFL. It's just a fuckin' brawl, and who the fuck wants to watch seven foot tall skinny blokes brawl? At least give us big monsters, like rugby.
