Mate with respect I could not disagree more.Im all for trying to develop the womens game but trying to manufacture an elite competition is nonsense. 4 games and a lot of it was pretty poor, if you are one of the thousands of players who play park footie you would be pissed off seeing this. Expand the game into new markets for sure but dont alienate the incumbent markets. What about doing something to showcase park/country league, this used to be the heartland of the game.
They had a fan day for the team at Red Hill on Monday and on the television coverage there were stacks of young girls there meeting their heroes and getting signatures. Those kids will be the next wave of girls playing the game. They will also be mothers of girls and boys and if they have grown up with a love of the game, it is more likely that they will encourage their kids to play league rather than AFL. I think the women's competition is very important to be developed as an important component of growing the game.
