another day ... culture wars ... more fugazi ... and ... now we have been exiled to the gulags ☹️

i think this thread should renamed "the learnings" 👍

that bit of alfoil at the start looks a bit suss 😮

most bowlers forget how to bowl in odis not that they get much out of the pitch though

never in doubt

definitely one for his feather collection

i'd at least expect it on the mfc site, od like i said i was just wondering if it was misinformation. the web is full of it.

omac's greatest moment

just looking around the afl and mfc web sites don't have the goody rescue story this is really odd. almost like it didn't happen just did a search on abc (all sites) and it's not there either what's going on

i notice the nrl-w play at the same time as the men. they do have less teams and a shorter season though ... just saying

katrina, i understand your points and frustrations. ignore those who complain of the standard of skills and comparisons to the men. these are just trolls personally i think the development has been rapid and impressive. i know it's somewhat hackneyed but it's going to take time to get all the pieces in sync and follow a development process, but a process must be followed to be resilient and not fall flat in its face. There is SO much to do and money IS a big part of it and i don't just mean salaries. enjoy the ride (i am 😃) ... and keep pushing

goody getting minimal coverage in media. nothing on 9 news for example. i wonder if it was any other afl coach ....

absolutely still in a better place (potential wise) than say, the netball girls.

at this stage of the aflw development i see it still as a semi-professional sport i don't think it will be too long before it is fully professional with a livable salary how quick this takes depends on further development and of course monetisation

i should have added, wcw that i think the aflw will get there, i certainly hope so. but it is going to take time, maybe a lot more time than many eager beavers would hope on the bright side though, the progress on skills has been great and to many punters exceeded their expectations.

in professional sport you need to always follow the money coming in. more coming in, higher player salaries at the moment aflw is being subsidised (which is understandable) while in its development stage ultimately it will need to stand on its own revenue streams i.e. bake its own cake. nothing really to do with gender or fairness, just dollars

goody ruining the narrative again 😮

couple of things the boys list is larger, so per head payment to girls will be higher the boys played 23 h&a games vs 10 ... just saying and finally the club get $500k which they could (hopefully) spend on upgrading facilities etc for the girls but sure, the girls have a bigger gap to close

are you saying they should get a room, and thrash it out? very brave of you, luci

shells, wcw. in the shells. gottit.

big ask of saints. they just lost to freo without much of a fight. at least they have it on their home ground, but.

i can just see you up in the racecourse grandstand watching a game through your binocs, rab 🤣

nah aflw is 8 points. if bris beat us in rd10 they go 4 points up filth could draw even too, but we have them on % if filth draw even with us it means we lost rd10 therefore bris win trophy by 4 points

you'll enjoy this clip from the original time of the yo-yo, deever

werent no dollars then, deever. so, that would be 12 shillings, though that seems too dear. get a bag of genuine strings for sixpence too.
