AFL Stupidity: AFLW & AFL Match Day Clash

[darkhorse72 1,949]

Is the AFL stupid!!  (Rhetorical question)

They have scheduled the Women to play 1.10pm in Perth In Freo and the men starting at 3.20pm (Misread and saw the AEST time) at Optus.

So I can't take my daughter to see the women's team play and see the Men's game. WTF . Are they trying to split our huge support based in WA!  My daughter love's footy and the Dee's and know has to choose which one to see live.

Maybe they though them playing the same day was good, but either push back the men's game to a cooler time or make the girls earlier, or play them on the Saturday instead.

Dare I suggest writing in to the AFL and pointing this out to them?  It's probably early enough for them to make a minor change.  They could even make the AFLW game a curtain-raiser at Optus.
