I would like to have an AFLW team, but in 2015 the first talk was that it might happen by 2020, and then in 2016 as it got more serious, SA wasn't going to get a team, as it was going to start with a 6 team comp not 8, because the talent pool in SA wasn't good enough, given SA played in Div 2 at the national championships and wasn't anything special in there and couldn't even push to get in Div 1.Today's Monopoly Times is totally vomit worthy.
If those running the PAFC do not see why they should have gone 1000% for a women's team today's paper should give them a good idea. The PAFC has dropped the ball imo as they are more interested in a warm and fuzzy community profile than concentrating on what should be our core business- football.
There was always going to be a team in Qld and WA and 3 or 4 teams in Victoria as they were the Div 1 teams and had huge pool of players compared to SA and the AFL loved the idea of a team in Sydney.
Gotta give it to Fagan for stitching up the NT women's as part of the crows. They have picked up players from there as part of their initial squad and got corporate $$$ from there as well.
Of course getting Erin Phillips, the best player in the comp, as a marquee/international sports pick has also made a bloody big difference. Chelsa Randall from the strong WA women's comp was also a very smart marquee signing.
