It would be interesting to see the research into what body shapes have more knee injuries...i remember seeing something where they reckon the wider hips of women can increase the risk.

Seems a high proportion of knee injuries in netball too. Guess the male sample size for netball is too small to see if it is body composition or playing surface.MW wrote:Reddeer wrote:With the girls suffering so many knee injuries , is the risk worth it

In the least disrespectful way possible, men have generally played the game longer and developed ways of maneuvering better along with bracing for contact and going in low to collect the ball.
I cringe a lot more while I'm umpiring women's games as they often go in head first or don't brace themselves well enough for heavy contact as quite often their awareness of what's around them isn't considered while they're concentrating on winning the ball.
The standard from a grassroot level has improved considerably over the past 15 years and will even more each year, you used to half half a dozen outstanding players and the rest making up the numbers in the one and only division they had, now there's no passengers in any team in the top divvy and there is class all throughout the divisions, it's developing at a very rapid rate.

I'm sure some Poindexter with a degree has put together some pie charts, graphs and animated re-enactments to prove differently but I've seen more than enough games to make my judgements.
3 ambulance trips to the hospital while wearing a guernsey for my daughter before she turned 18 supports my evidence an if you dartfish the AdFL women's games you'll see most have players going off injured during the game and not returning, usually avoidable injuries too and not malicious.

Yes the media and general public are 'going easy' on the female competitions in regards to critism etc but that is absolutely fine, they are in their formative years as professional sports. Their existence at the moment is equally about giving a generation of females an oppurtunity as it is the quality of the sport onfield.
Give it a few more years and im sure the media will be all over every little mistake like they do with the mens game. I like the way the women play, its not perfect but its more relatable to what me and the mates are doing on the weekend rather than Steve Smith swapping his pair of gloves every four overs. It's imperfection is a nice change in professional sport.

Thing is you can't compare women's sport to anything other than women's sport and by merely being critical of it doesn't mean it will improve.
