  1. it's easy to argue both ways. binman, because in the end it's just opinion trying to predict the future and the best way to get there. at the moment the big issue is money. the aflw women have already flagged it. at the moment the aflw comp is basically an amateur comp lasting 8 weeks (with any player payments lucky to cover player's overheads). there has to be a transition whereby the comp allows for a living wage by becoming fully professional. Only then can you truly get an elite game. so far i have yet to see a business case as to where this money will come from. Money-wise aflw is just another franchise money pit to add to gcs and gws with no relief money-wise in sight. but i'm sure gil has all the answers ?
  2. the "male" players are already effectively subsidising the aflw. all the money (most of) comes from the afl leaving less for the afl players to scrap for. aflw is a long long way off paying for itself. probably more than 10 years at best. also lots of questions re future i.e. will there be eventually 18 teams, will they play longer seasons, will they eventually switch to a winter season like afl, etc etc
  3. ah......but big maxie is the coach's right hand man

    they never were upset, it was the people-perpetually-aggrieved-by- proxy who were upset. The black swan better look out.

    of course it's a potential factor, but why would ralph put his name to an article that is all from nixon. does he not know nixon is toxic or does he enjoy dancing with the wolves?
  22. no love for juice newton? where's fence when you need him?
  23. i wonder how much his injuries were aggravated by playing in lower leagues for 6 years after leaving melbourne at age 29. certainly wouldn't have helped. tragic outcome for shaun.
