Last night was an insight into what football must have been like in the early days, long before the entertainment side when it was first invented and the competitors were raw. How many years have league footballers played the game as amateurs, while still working another job. It wasn't that long ago that the men's competition became fully professional and full time. The idea that the women's game will become fully professional in full time in the first year or so is not realistic. This is something that has to be built with dedication and hard work.
Let me tell you something, and it's going to blow your mind. There are thousands of men who have jobs but also train hard and play footy for no payment.
