Hey Tobie, we'll probably ask you to do a wrap up after the tournament on what you thought of the standard, but do you have some preliminary thoughts on how the various nations are performing compared with say the Victorian Women's league in which you played this year? How might sides like Ireland and the USA stack up against players from the established Aussie leagues.

I definately think the girls from USA, Ireland and Canada could make a regulars spot in VWFL reserves, which effectively makes them seniors class in any other league. And some girls could probably make seniors in a mid table VWFL team. Even PNG, mostly being Youth Girls age, could go straight into a Melbourne YG team. But the level between top and bottom in VWFL is pretty big- 6 times Premiers Darebin, and the team set to knock them off this year, VU St Albans, can produce scores of over 100 points against bottom teams.

In terms of the Women's Nationals, the USA, Canada and Ireland teams would be a competitive addition to division 2. A world team might even be competitive in division 1, but Victoria is another level beyond that. Big V vs Rest of Australia would be an awesome match but I'd still back Victoria to win.

There are already international players playing in top 4 VWFL Premier division sides and doing extremely well. From what I've seen so far there would be a rather large handful that could easily also make the step. As was already said, better to underestimate the strength of the OzIM side than send an all-star team. Canada v Ireland was a cracker of a game and I think we'll see a few more to come.
