Women win footy differently
Women’s sports are always compared to men’s to their own detriment, often calling upon awkward moments or skill errors in 5-second clips to demean whole leagues.
In this article I take a closer look at what actually makes men’s and women’s AFL leagues different. How are matches won? What statistics are most important in each league?
Rather than trying to tread down, we should be making more of an effort to discuss and understand these differences so the conversations we have about women’s sports can improve in the long run and limit our need to keep comparing it to the men’s game.
