Launceston recruits Libby and Chloe Haines gained plenty from first year at North Melbourne in the AFLW

Speaking for the first time since being re-signed by the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos, defender Libby and midfielder Chloe on Tuesday reflected about how rewarding the experience had been for them, something that can't be measured in simple footy statistics or physical testing.

Despite the fact they could only manage one game between them (Chloe in the round three outing against the Western Bulldogs in Launceston) being in that elite environment under coach Scott Gowans was a "great experience".

"We learnt what it is like, and what you need to do to be elite on and off the field,'' Chloe said.

"You really don't know what that is like until you really do get into it. Only playing the one game, that doesn't really faze me now that I am re-signed, and Libby would be the same, as we know our hard work is paying off, as if they didn't believe in us then they wouldn't re-sign us."

The sisters now call Windsor Park their new football home as members of Launceston's TSLW side, having made their debuts on Sunday in their side's 30-point win over Glenorchy at UTAS Stadium.

Despite the extra travel they now have to undertake with Burnie no longer part of the statewide competition, they said the Blues were the "perfect fit".

"Straight after last season, we pretty much had every club write to use wanting us to play for them, but we had our eyes set on Launnie from the get go really and we were keen for them,'' Libby said.

"We don't really worry about the travel as it is just a really good environment.

"It was hard to start off with, as we were training three times a week in Launnie, as you'd pretty much finish work at 2.30pm (at the Waterfront Hotel at Wynyard) and then get on the road at 3pm and be home at 10.30pm, but you do get used to it and you make it part of your lifestyle."
