Growing pains and massive gains: AFLW decider storylines
from ABC SPORT Daily · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
When Brisbane play the seemingly unstoppable North Melbourne in the AFLW Grand Final, there's a sense of an era being defined. This is the latest instalment in a trilogy of premiership clashes between the two. Broader questions also burn. Ash Riddell is the best player in the competition, but her preparation has included her day job as a teacher. What does that tell us about the state of the game? The clash is a sellout for a fourth straight year, so why are we putting a relatively low ceiling on how big the game can be? Featured: Marnie Vinall, AFLW reporter, ABC Sport.
