I have been reading a few untutored comments on the watchability of the women's game. Please give the AFL women a fair chance to develop their skills, power, fitness, and finesse! Many are only new to the game, at the top level, having come from other sports. Each year, from 2017 onwards, you could see - if you really love and study this great game - that the women's fitness, ball skills, tackling, marking, game play and tactical nous, have improved rapidly, by 25% or more, year on year. It takes, on average, twelve to fourteen years of careful teaching, training and coaching - if you spot a gifted boy at age ten years - to turn a kid's potential into a fully fledged AFL player. I can promise you that - by the year 2030 - we will all look back to see that many of the gifted girls, now starting at age ten, will have developed their combined game skills and mental focus at a much faster level, than can many gifted boys, esp between ages 16 to 22. The men's game will always be more of a pure power game - due to muscle mass and other body factors - but if you watch the top level of women's soccer, you would know that, right now, the best, most skilful, high international class, top four soccer players, in this country, are all women, and that the best side to watch playing, as a team, by some way, are the women. You would know, as well, that our women's soccer team has a very real chance to win the next World Cup. Can we say that, for the men's soccer team? AFLW will be just as good a game, and just as good to watch - in terms of tempo, contest, skills, and team play - within five years - as is AFL: of that I have no doubt. So "Go The Tiges!"own AFLW team, for 2020. Our clan of Tigers will all be behind all of the Tiger women, just as we support the men!
