Conti is an excellent player. A deserving winner. Also helps that she didn’t have team mates taking votes off her.

Absolutely, well deserved.

Meanwhile, Garner is left wondering once again. Hopefully she'll get the team success on Sunday.

On the All Australian team:

https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1067682/all-aus-team

 

How was Adelaide's Ann Hatchard not included?  The top scorer in the B&F for Adelaide yet 4 others are picked ahead of her? She is easily the best player in the Adelaide side, and if it were not for the huge amount of talent in their team pinching votes from her, would have taken out the B&F.

Probably because if they included her and Chelsea Randall ( who also deserved a jacket), they would have had 6 players from Adelaide in the side.  It would expose the huge leg-up that the AFL gave them, and now we still have as S.A. representative side playing in the Crows colours.  Same story with Brisbane.

Good to see they were beaten by North this week.  But the competition will remain lopsided until Port and the Suns can poach some of the players.

Must say that we are very very fortunate to have Kate Hore as our captain.  

On and off field. Very impressive. True. Honest. Strong. Leader. I could go on and on.  

5 year contract deal imv. (show her how much she is loved by all) 

A deserved All Australian captain.

👏👏👏👏

[Bobby McKenzie 2,385]

Very true words Norm. Kate is an absolute jewel with her leadership, skills, and always going to a team mate with a wonderful smile full of encouragement and praise. She certainly leads by example and thoroughly deserves to be All Australian Captain. Huble and modest too.

[Dees_In_October 3,491]

And Kate was also awarded Best Captain by the Players Association and 4th in the AFLPA MVP.

Heath finished 5th in the Most Courageous, while A.Mackin came 5th for the Best First Year Player.
