No thanks. Game has enough novelties as it is
Administrators, Umpires and Media are given spots in the Hall of Fame, so I don't see why not. The HoF isn't just for V/AFL players, it's to recognise contributions to the sport overall.

No issue providing it is based on merit and judged by the same criteria as the men have been.
No fast tracking can be done, hall of fame would be devalued otherwise.

Is it even real?
It’s not the AFL Hall of Fame, it’s the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
No reason female players could not be eligible in the future, but not sure I’d be wanting to fast track anyone in ahead of schedule.
Isnt Jill Lindsay already a hall of famer?
I don't really care if they want to delegitimize their hall of fame. I have my own opinion of what the hall of fame should be. Their hall of fame is mainly just overrated old people from before the war era's.
The first nominee for mine would have to be Debbie Lee. She had that much talent back in the 1990s she could handle herself against the men.
Without her drive, there would actually be no women's footy at all.

As they should be. However I would expect this to take quite a few years to kick in. Hopefully the AFL doesn't jump the gun and start selecting current players.
Pioneers?
Wasn’t it set up by Gil as a PR exercise?

I see this as a big joke.
Much like the free entry, free ground rental, free TV coverage all absorbed by the men's game.
And a 72% pay rise for a 7 week tournament ?
Teenage male footballers & clubs are dropping off like flies, but that doesnt matter. The AFL know what they are doing.

It actually had to happen. It's the national Hall of fame 'umbrella'. The various states have their own hall of games, even country leagues can have their hall of fames.
The hall of fame is for those having an impact at national level, or for the promotion of the most deserving state level hall of fame winners.
I would imagine there are female hall of fames at state or league levels. These would now be subordinate to the national hof.
It's hard to argue that the explosion of women's football, and the development of the AFLW are not significant national developments in football, and I suspect those responsible for it will end up in the hof in the medium term. Current female hof members who are judged worthy may also be elevated (if there are any).
Doubt any current footballers will make it for a while though.
