News Women's Jumpers for 2017 – confirmed jumpers in OP

[Grandsun]

How did they determine that? Random draw?

I think they did a lottery

Draft order for the womens league.

No prizes for guessing who gets pick number 1

Yep, it was a "lottery"

So it's already starting to be called the "AFL Women's League" rather than the equally stupid sounding "AFL Women's".

Initially "AFL Women's League" doesn't appear terrible until you realise that actually means the "Australian Football League Women's League" and there's a ridiculous double-up of the word 'league'. I feel like Mr Eagle would hate this.

Why can't it just be WANFL ffs.

The trouble is, the AFL doesn't want 'AFL' to stand for 'Australian Football League', they want it to be the name of the sport, a meaningless acronym.

It should be AWFL - nice and easy to say

 

[Andonis1997]

Whilst also pre-empting the quality of the league? No thanks.

 

[Speck]

Draft order for the womens league.

Are they going to reverse each round for the first season? So Melbourne gets both pick 8 and 9?

Or is that too logical for the AFL to work out.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Sounds to much like whingful or wineful if you have a wife
I don't know if that's sexist in today's society

Yes it will be a 'snake draft' with each round reversed.

Because that doesn't contain the Sacred Letters In Their Proper Order.

This obviously women's-specific polo looks of suspect quality. No manufacturer has put their name to it, either.

Note that Emirates has no involvement with the women's team.

There is a photo on the AFL Instagram account uploaded today; all the girls are wearing what look to be generic polos with the sponsor(s) logo on the right breast and the club logo on the left. This makes me think the apparel contracts are still being negotiated.

 

[Grandsun]

on the cats webpage looks like they may be sponsored by deakin uni and will still use isc jumpers with core on them?

That's just a quick Photoshop job. They'll 100% be in COAR produced and branded kits next year.

 

[Jack Stevens]

How wrong does the Geelong jumper look without Ford?

Looks like a local league team in that jumper

 

[Red Crow]

Sounds like tomorrow is the day for the big reveal, certainly for the Crows but it is worded to suggest all clubs.

 

[Gibbsy]

I'll be shocked if Cotton On aren't the league wide suppliers, from the mail I've been hearing over the last couple of months. What will be most interesting is whether they use the COAR brand to a female market.

Can't see why they wouldn't. The brand already has plenty of women's gear.
