Collingwood calls for external review as AFLW team sinks to 1-9
Vice-captain Jordyn Allen backs an external review as Collingwood's AFLW program struggles at 1-9 with players departing.
Collingwood's women's team has won just one game this season and sits 16th on the AFLW ladder. Vice-captain Jordyn Allen said an external review makes sense, pointing to successful reviews done by Richmond, Carlton and St Kilda.
Captain Ruby Schleicher is leaving to return to Western Australia, and more than half a dozen players are out of contract. Allen said the constant media coverage and discussion has been exhausting for staff and players.
Richmond's six-week review process involved interviewing every player and staff member. Allen backed that approach as a way to hear from everyone, including the positives, and reduce the relentless cycle of the same conversations.
