Pay Equality

We need to remember that this is only the beginning.  As with the standard of play, the pay will creep upwards as we see more teams and more players getting involved.  Right  now all they are trying to do is get the league established.

    The AFL gave away the TV rights for zip for 2 years!  Yes, zip!  Channel 7 is getting record viewing audiences - at times well above AFL games and is making squillions from advertisers.  The AFL and AFLW get not one brass razoo!  Not even from the Grand Final!!

    If the AFL are dumb enough to do that, it is no reason why the players should wear the cost.  I'm not suggesting equal pay or anything like it, just noting that the AFL have played this badly. 

    Giving away the TV rights for free was a brilliant idea. The VRC wish they did that with racing decades ago.

    I do think the AFL should have negotiated to get more games on tv though for the free access.

    The AFLW has been a massive success. The players will rightfully be paid more in the future as the game proves it can sustain an audience.

    I'm very critical of the AFL on most things but they seem to have got the AFLW right. Every other womens sport in the country is in awe.

    2. And from a demons viewpoint.  I just love seeing the NAB ads during games which feature Daisy and kids (a little boy in a supermarket and a little girl who kicks a goal) that are decked out in Melbourne gear.  I reckon a lot more kids will be going to their school 'wear your footy jumper day' in the red and blue.  Many will have #6 on the back and I doubt it will be for Lewis.  

    My daughter will be wearing number 6 on her jumper this year.

    She has just turned 3 and loves Daisy. When we walk around the city she points her out on posters or walls and shouts with excitement if she comes on a tv advertisement.

    Make no mistake Daisy is a marketing weapon for Melbourne and a role model for a generation of young girls who love footy.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
