Really enjoying these ladies inducted, pioneers of the womens game

They are so proud and love the game, would have played basically for nada in their day too

This is a very weirdly structured event. Did they announce the Immortal when they did because Ron Coote or Albo's bed time was coming up?

Cant be right, Ken Arthurson is up, he is in his 90s

My heart almost sunk, thought he was gonna trip on those stairs

Good to see.
I don't agree with some of the younger generation being named immortals before the likes of sterlo, Kenny, Eg Andrew Johns shouldn't have been named an immortal as yet
Some of these older fellas played in the toughest era where they worked full time jobs and copped elbows, high shots, spear tackles etc.
Great the game has been cleaned up but we can't discount what the older fellas endured. Look at Ron Coote...extremely grateful, humble and sincere
Gerard Waitley explained the AFL system on SEN this morning. They definitely have it worked out … players can be inducted into their hof 5 years after retiring then the next level of legend status, which is the equivalent of the immortals, is applicable some 10-20 years after that.

he went on to say that the wait and time taken to induct adds to the ‘charm’ of the whole thing. Now I regularly think Gerard is a bit of a knob but I reckon he (and the AFL) are spot in on this instance
