Oh look a buzzword
Anymore you want to use

Even if I don't watch it much, AFLW does serve a very important purpose. Why shouldn't girls have their own footy players and role models to look up to ?

No need to take this personally
Maybe in a couple of decades the young girls that grew up playing football come through
AWFL will become AFLW

No one is taking it personally, you are just coming across as bit of an ignorant twit that's all. No skin off our teeth
 
AFLW must be a huge money sink. Nobody watches or cares about it, even the do-gooders who defend it don't go and support it. :$

it's a great thing at grass roots level but it needs to be able to stand on its own merits, instead of being propped up like it is now.

Disappointing response from you Fonzie

Maybe it's a costly white elephant right now, and we may not see financial and long term benefits from maybe 50 years from now, but it's definitely a worthwhile investment, especially to get girls/women actively invested in the sport and fitness etc

I’d like to think I support it. I do indeed have Lions AFLW membership, it’s just annoying that the season starts around the same time that 90% of my university semester 2 assessment is due and also clashes with the AFL men’s finals.. I’ll be good to go if we’re good enough to get to host the Grand Final though..

So....it's meant to go from nothing to standing on its own merits? 🤔

Half of the AFLM is "propped up" too, I'll note.

As a middle aged man I am too young to ever clearly remember being hurt by Carlton. My retired dad told me you beat us in a GF around the time George Bush's Dad (also George?) was president of the US. That must have been a great time for you.

Remember when Sam lane wrote that book and it sold 13 copies? Yeah, me neither.
 
Don’t let this fred distract you from the fact that the Swines bottled it big time in last year’s GF…

:$:$:$
When you make 5 grand finals in 12 years they start to become just another game.

Win some, lose some.

Carlton should try making one once. I bet you’re got whole generations of fans who’ve never seen Carlton go deep in September. It’s great fun :)

Swings and roundabouts, m7. I’m sure Eagles fans never expected their team to be so bad seeing as though they were challenging for flags fairly recently. Swines are due for a lengthy spell at the bottom end of the ladder…

Ah you haven’t seen the Swans academy pipeline for this year yet, have you
 
1) what book?
2) who’s Sam Lane?
3) you seem to know enough about a book by Sam lane that makes me think you do know about it
Used to be the cutie on channel 10s before the game about 20 years ago. Daughter of legendary commentator Michael. Wrote a book about women’s footy that sold 13 copies.

Ah so apparently you’ve dedicated a few to her.

Nothing to be ashamed of
