AFL Executive General Manager of AFLW, Health and Football Operations Laura Kane welcomed both Webb and Berthold.<\/p>\n
“We’re pleased to welcome Lisa and Patrice to the AFLW competition committee,\u201d Kane said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth bring strong experience from across the game and will provide valuable perspectives as we continue to grow and strengthen the AFLW competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe committee plays an important role in helping shape the future of AFLW, and we look forward to the insight and expertise Patrice and Lisa will contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n
