How quickly things have
changed since last
week. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the AFLW season quickly went
from the home
and away season to the finals… which ended after one week with the
season cancelled and no premier at all.
It was a sad end to what was
shaping as an interesting finals series. The Kangaroos finish as the top-rated
team on these rankings, however they barely squeaked by Collingwood in their
semi‑final, and other results suggested that other teams were closing in. Fremantle
had been undefeated all season, but hadn’t
really put in a dominating performance until they thrashed the Gold Coast
Suns by 70 points on the weekend. (This gave a boost to the ranking points of
teams that have recently played the Dockers.) Carlton also had a comfortable
win, while Melbourne
has been a quality side for much of the season.
Hopefully the competition will
have a more satisfying resolution next year, although
a lot about the AFL is currently uncertain. That’s it for now, and I’ll
return with the men’s rankings when it looks like the next round of matches is
about to get underway.
