The Gold Coast SUNS path to joining the elite AFL women's competition in 2020 has been revealed with the SUNS to field a team in a new winter series in 2018.
The SUNS will line up against teams from the GWS GIANTS and Brisbane Lions in the series which will result in matches being played over a...
Ayre played very well up forward in the back half of the season and Exon was very good for us throughout the season. You guys have the better of this trade IMO
I honestly think this is her intention - and the Lions should thank her for it if thats the case. She'd get some attention in Melbourne though from people trying to make her switch. Sooner list requirements are known the better for the Lions.
problem with one team cities in non heartland territory - all your ovals are shared with cricket, and footy comes second in the summer period. Lions proposed training facility needs to include a 5-10k capacity oval. Even just an embankment type setup with a small stand.
He apparently flew back from London for this, and all he said was that it Sam seemed was even more excited than he was. It didnt come across as smarmy or beneath him at all.
Sadly, even though Adelaide is getting its game locally broadcast, this policy doesnt seem to have extended to Sydney and Brisbane according to tv guide programmers.
Spectacular AND attractive AND outgoing is what makes her very marketable. Plus a flawless kicking technique that makes her an automatic poster. Seriously how many times have you seen this or a variant thereof.
Pity she didnt do better in the Fox Long kicking comp before the granny, id have...
Was expected this week to be released along with the preseason fixture, but with NAB pulling out of the preseason, it might be held up while a new sponsor is found/negotiated and announced.
Lol you throw up "industry standard wages" - when there are none - and then move the goal posts. Ok then. o great and dismissive one.
1. its a temporary arrangement for literally next years 8 week competition. Its not a permanent arrangement.
2. Sports wages have ALWAYS been determined by the...
What industry standard wages? Womens sport doesnt exactly HAVE a standard industry wage - and sports are not governed by an award. See: EVERY SPORT EVER.
This isnt rocket science - the 18 AFL mens clubs are completely bankrolled by the leagues existing arrangmenets and have certain license conditions attached that require AFL funds to be distributed to them due to marketing, licensing, stadium deals, signage and other arrangements. In addition GC...
So far the pay deal is for the 3 months of this competition. 8 games. expenses covered. Theres a lot of assumptions being made on tv and crowds that simply have no basis in reality in any other code or sport. The AFL is being rightfully prudent - and if it takes off, then the second year will be...
It is risk minimisation. The AFL is as much as business as a sport - if the womens comp loses money, how long do you think the clubs and players will agree to the funding?
MARQUEES will be paid a confirmed $10,000 marketing component and proposed $15,000 playing fee.
PRIORITY pre-signings — one at each Victorian club and Freo, two at Adelaide, Brisbane and GWS — will command a proposed $10,000.
HIGH draft selections — possibly four at each club — are also on the...
Then theres the Netball wage deal, announced in September 2016.
The new national league next year will see 80 players share a pool of almost $5.5 million and it is hoped the sport could become fully professional within five years.
Under the new collective bargaining agreement, the average...
Except thats precisely how it works. Actors start on a lower wage until their success or popularity demands it. One off womens matches and curtain raisers are not sufficient evidence to prove this at this time. And real world examples are available that suggest it might never happen. See: WNBA...
A number of clubs have released amnouncements saying games entry will be free.
