I saw online that Andy Maher was the runner for Carlton AFLW and did a calf. Having "celebrities" running for you makes it sound more like a charity match. I don't think AFLW has much credibility anyway and having publicity stunts like that don't help. Once/if the AFL decide to start charging entry fee's, it will die in the clacker I reckon. Agree about Uncut gems. Well worth a watch. Thank your mother for the rabbits Edited February 9, 2020 by Will27 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank your mother for the rabbits I watched about 2 minutes of AFLW,we used to score more in little league. Same as the AFL after expansion,too many teams and not enough skills. The AFL seems to think that more Bogan women are required to be recognised to keep up with the changing society. I still struggle to understand how for 150 years,girls were only allowed to play till 12 years old but now have a national comp. What has changed????? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 <deleted> gang, when will it end? AFL football boss Steve Hocking says league ‘all ears’ to future name change of men’s competition to AFLM The AFL says it is open to future debate about changing the name of its men’s competition to AFLM to mirror the women’s AFLW league. Hocking said the league would be open to a name change if a supporter groundswell emerged. Women’s football trailblazer Susan Alberti this morning hailed the potential move a “no-brainer”. Speaking on The Outer Sanctum podcast, Hocking said: “There’s a whole range of things that we’re unpacking that have just been the way they have been because of 160 years of football and I think that’s OK. I don’t think we need to necessarily be looking over the fence at one another and saying whether we need to add another initial to something, but if in time it’s something that emerges, we’re all ears at AFL.” Hocking and AFLW boss Nicole Livingstone were asked when the league would commit to “formally renaming the men’s competition AFLM”. Livingstone initially answered: “That’s a very good question. Can we take it on notice and take it back to AFL House?” She later added: “It’s actually a really interesting thought process because when I am internal I do take the time to say AFL men’s competition when I speak and I say AFLW because I know that the AFL is the NSO or the national sporting organisation.” Former Western Bulldogs vice-president Alberti, a women’s football pioneer, said: “It’s a no-brainer. I would support it happening. There could be some confusion out there with AFL and AFLW. We’ve got the men and the women. So why not? “It’s important to distinguish between the two competitions.” Alberti added: “What I’m also noticing is that those clubs that have female teams, their memberships are going up. I knew that was going to happen. Having the men with their own title and the women with their title, I’ve got no problems with it.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Soccer, the EPL should be renamed the EPLM, the NBA renamed NBAM etcetera. I mean it's a no-brainer!!

She 'notices...: AFL club memberships have been growing for years, every club as far as I know. The Clubs without a women's team have also been growing in membership. Should we claim that membership growth of those clubs without a women's team is increasing because people support not having a women's team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
