AFLW: Brisbane have taken out the honours in the QLD match up of the AFLW, while the Bombers sank the Tigers.
West Coast AFLW Michael Prior has blasted the league’s fixturing, complaining that his struggling side had to play against reigning premiers Melbourne.
On Sunday, in 35-degree heat at home, the Eagles started well and only trailed narrowly at halftime but were eventually thumped by the Demons 11.16 to 2.0 , for their fourth-worst loss in AFLW history.But the fact his Eagles had to play against Melbourne at all drew the ire of Prior in his post-match press conference.
“But at the end of the day, that’s the team that won the Grand Final last year against the team that finished last. Asked to expand on the complaint, he said: “It’s frustrating because I just think there's 10 games, 18 teams, and the side that won it is playing the side that came last.The AFLW fixture is somewhat weighted with top teams playing each other more often, but not exclusively, and the same for lesser teams.
