Absurd.

The issue is men's AFL competition is a marketing ploy, but it has 120 years of history and passion in it to cover the fact the AFL has * all idea about what it is doing with its product.The AFL are burdened with the task to make this competition more than just a marketing ploy, something that could have the potential to be self-sufficient in the future. If it can’t achieve that then it will always be a gimmick.
Don't televise every game. Problem solved.Who does Daisy Pearce propose should pay for the additional television coverage and other costs incurred by more matches?
Your girlfriend says that as she is trying to avoid your simplistic, rants about footy.AFLW is s**t. I have a girlfriend, she thinks it's pointless and a waste of money. Most people that defend AFLW just love to play the sexist card.
Do you really reckon the girls are doing it for the money?So... the AFL want to pay them the same money for less work and they're upset about it?

Pays peanuts.
“Players are training off their own back — so we’re not contracted at the moment — a lot of people are training so they can get to the line and be as elite and professional as they can.”
“We’re signed up as contracted players but they don’t kick in until November, so the contracts run from November to April.
“And outside of that, you’re an unpaid, uncontracted player. But you don’t just get to November and flick the switch that ‘oh, now I’m a professional athlete.’”
Don't televise every game. Problem solved.
Which should be applauded, but the expectation that the product will ever sit on the same pedestal as the men's product is very naive.
OK, so they still need additional grounds, umpires, gatepeople, security, statisticians and probably a heap of others at every game. They all want to be paid, and the costs aren't covered by the gate, yet.
Surely the premier competition for womens football in this country deserves a complete home and away season.
If this means taking even more money out of grass roots development pathways, or charging more for punters to access the mens game, then this is what must be done.
No one cares about AFLW Fivehead.
New clubs never should have been admitted if the competition wasn’t viable enough to support each team travelling to play each other team at least once.
Daisy’s right, it’s a joke for them to propose such a ridiculous fixture. Fewer teams and allowing the competition to gain some traction in its existing form was the logical way to go about it.
To me this is the obvious solution.If they played as curtain raisers to the AFL then the cost would be greatly reduced as supporters would in effect be getting two games of footy for the price of one therefore making memberships better value.
Umm, the truth?What the hell is this?
Nah, believe it or not some girls actually don't care about the AFLW. Commonsense really, I mean look at the average crowd numbers. I like how you reply is a dig at me, maturity at it's finest.Your girlfriend says that as she is trying to avoid your simplistic, rants about footy.
