Is she Gwen and Ken Her's daughter?this is bigger than jen her........
Hope so.
Wanna get a few years of being one of the few teams. Build a strong supporter base.
Its what the other teams are afraid of - the initial teams will be too strong when the next ones come in.
Yep.I've no doubt.
But the AFL is responsible for product quality. There's a concern that the standard will be affected by too many teams.
There isn't enough players yet.
The danger is mistaking curiosity for something more substantial and sustainable.One things for sure, by the end of this summer we'll know a lot more about the popularity of womens sport than we did before.
8 Prime time AFLW matches on Seven
12 Prime time WBBL matches on Ten
a stack of prime time Netball matches on Nine.
Lets see if the men switch over like the womens codes hope.
Wasn't strictly comparing the two, just saying that the VFL and TAC Cup draw poorly despite being of reasonable quality.Hear what you are saying and you are spot on about the talent pool - but any comparison between the men's and women's game is odious to the point of silly - see tennis. It's about entertainment in its own right, not comparison to a clearly more technical, developed presentation of the sport.

I don't care whether it succeeds or fails.Curioisity is what last year was about. This summer will give us more than enough data to run with. Unless your one of those that are looking for reasons for it to fail regardless.

I'm simply safeguarding myself against the inevitable - and premature - grasping for positives out of the whole exercise.
Quotes like, "X people were at Y match, a wonderful turnout that proves there's an appetite for women's football" on days in which matches are played as part of a double header.
Well of course, by that notion VFL, TAC Cup and whatever other standard you want to talk about would be better attended if played before an AFL match.
"Television numbers were a wonderful reflection of the public' want for more," when there's nothing else on Tele and a 5-odd month absence of any form of the sport.
Sorry for the interruption. Posted this pic to stop the Elliott arse being on the "front" page for this thread. This will work?
Or a clear indication too many are looking for ways to show it is going to failthread is breaking the internet and my brain which is unfortunate - the numbers reading it a clear indication the women's game is a raging success
There's a marked difference between wanting it to fail and considering just what it'll take for it to be a success and how high that bar will be set, but in today's modern discourse it's understandable that people struggle to tell the difference between indifference and prejudice.You very clearly do.
You clearly dont believe the concept will work. Just say so. because almost nothing you wrote below applies to this coming season.
Curiousity is one or two matches. And only one was a curtainraiser. In any case, a full summer program of 28 matches WILL give us enough data. Of those 28, about 1/3rd are curtain raisers, quite a few are standalone. - and there are no curtain raisers on Sevens coverage.
Nothing else on television while Soccer and Netball will be in full swing. Oh and the AFL preseason.
Some people will look for reasons for it to fail regardless.
