Did you read the rest of that? Or did you just want to do your usual thing, take a snip from a post and spin it to make yourself look good?/thread.

Hah, you snipped the quote you like again.I didn't have to.
Dig deeper in to your pocket this year mate. Someone has to carry all of this important non AFL stuff. I'm getting reports that liquidity is a little tight down there at the moment.

It's for new fans.You ratified my point. The fans never wanted it, and the players never wanted it..
It's politically driven crap that has been foisted upon them by professional CV builders.
It's for new fans.
Always with the snide indirect comments. It's piss weak.
yes and no. My daughter, A North fan never goes to neutral AFL games here in Adelaide but does go to Crows AFLW games. But she's always been a footy fan.It's for new fans.
So business entities shouldn't expand into new markets. Gotcha.the prostitution of an existing one.

Yeah Im trying to simplify my posts to not get the 2 second sound bite treatmentyes and no. My daughter, A North fan never goes to neutral AFL games here in Adelaide but does go to Crows AFLW games. But she's always been a footy fan.
I've got Crows mates that rarely go to the Crows mens but go to most womens games.
And the girls at our local footy club love going to the Crows AFLW and it inspired them to get a team up last year....and they went on to win a premiership.
Anyone that can't see the huge benefits of AFLW for Aussie Rules in an entirety is a naive dinosaur. They have no idea what is happening at a junior and local level.
The AFL views itself as a business.If you view AFL as simply a "business" than I can see why you have such a dry view of the subject.

And either are you, so stop pretending as if you know whats best for NMFC and the rest of the members.The AFL is NOT the NMFC.
The "North Melbourne-Tasmania" prefix is a shambles. Hope they get a team soon down south so we can drop it.As a vehement supporter of the AFL's strategy of heavily subsidising expansion clubs in the northern states to grow the game, I'm hardly in a position to criticise them for implementing AFLW.
Whilst it has its faults, whilever there's a team in it representing our club I'll take an interest - that being said, if they're going to continue referring to us as 'Kangaroos' like they did on the TV coverage on the weekend it'll begin to piss me off.

My point wasn't to scrap the AFLW or anything along those lines. I have no issue with it being there and giving girls something to aspire to. This concept exists in soccer and has been there for some time. My point is that all North members are there predominantly to support the AFL side. That's what this club is built on. Some members may also take interest in the woman's team, which is great. But some will not. The club shouldn't automatically assume that the AFLW side is of interest to everyone. This club will always be there as an AFL club, and in our lifetime and beyond, anything else will be a small add-on at best. I don't care if we start a Netball team as well, in North colours FFS. But if we do, it will play its role, but will forever remain in the shadow of the AFL team, because this is an AFL club. When I watch my North content, it should be up to me, if I want to watch anything AFLW related, because personally I am not interested in it one bit, and I respect those that are.I wouldn't have thought it necessary to spell this out but women's AFL was a fringe sport not long ago and the current standard probably reflects that. But since the advent of the AFLW comp, participation by girls at junior level has gone through the roof and in time this will probably mean a much higher standard at the top level. The elite athletes who are coming over to AFL from other sports may have been afl players since their teens instead.
It follows that increased participation by girls would lead to increased participation by their siblings, which would be good for the men's game.
Sorry, can't be arsed looking it up. It came up in the pre-Roger era when Hingis, Kournikova, etc had huge followings and were at least as marketable as any male player.I think you are going to have to back that up with a source. The men provide approximately 50% more product in a grand slam and you can't really buy media based on picking individual spots with perhaps the exception of the final. The media rights and sponsorship of the slams would be based on the overall package they provide and not really allocated by gender.
If it were true the media rights, sponsorship etc for the stand-alone women's tour would be equal to the men's. Is that the case?
Even if it were true. Serena wouldn't take a set off Roger in a hundred matches.
You absolutely do have issues with it, as you clearly have stated in this thread before. Now you're just backing down becuase they were ridiculous things to say.My point wasn't to scrap the AFLW or anything along those lines.

I just don't see the point in equalizing the two, when quite clearly they are not. One is at its infancy, and it should continue to develop, provided the AFL funding is there for it, and it doesn't take any funds away from the AFL side, thus hampering its ability to contend for the flag.
