  • In this video, we look at how the increase in development pathways and opportunities have increased since the rise of the AFLW and discuss the flow on effect this is having within women's football, changing the face of Aussie Rules at a grassroots level. Breaking down key stats, looking at trends in club best and fairest winner ages and comparing the stories of Erin Phillips, Daisy Pearce and Madison Prespakis, it becomes clear that the AFLW is only just getting started.

    The skills at the Freo-Richmond game on the weekend was head and shoulders above games from previous seasons. The quality as the younger players who have had the pathway that you describe start to have a greater impact in games is MASSIVELY changing the game.

    I think you research shows that the young women coming into football has had a solid footballing background versus the older women who came from other mixed sports. Give it five years or so and the league will take a quantum leap in skills and fitness which will be exciting to watch.

    I care about the AFLW. The VFL in the early 1900s involved sloppy ball movement and low scores, it'll take time for the AFLW to become somewhat entertaining to watch. But I'm all for Women getting a chance in the spotlight

    I’m loving the crazy growth of women’s footy. Would love it to become professional sooner rather than later. A crisper product & growing crowds will continue to lure in more corporate dollars & is only a matter of time.

    Zac, Andreas.....I absolutely loved this episode. I've been touting this on the podcast, but you guys did a fantastic job of demonstrating why this explosion is about to take place. Great example of it yesterday with Zimmi Farquharson's debut for the Lions last night. Looked silky smooth out there amongst a club of premiership players. Good on ya, mates!

    I think AFLW genuinely has the potential to be the number one women's sports leagues in the world. All AFL teams will have an AFLW affiliate in the coming years (which will make it, with 18 teams, one of the largest top flight female teams in the world) and the game is high scoring and spacious enough (in terms of larger field/more players and the fact the ball is flying through the air a lot of the time) that it is visually appealing in ways that clustered and slower sports (e.g. basketball, ice hockey, soccer) are not (thus gaining them less favourable comparisons to the men).

    Great video! We're really starting to see even the poorer teams be able to play explosive football (see Gold Coast's 5 goals in half a quarter to run over the Eagles), which makes the games much more exciting than previously where a 3 goal lead was game over.

    This means that early draft picks are, generally, worth more than established players at the trade table. Especially if the player being traded is one of the "generation zero" players. Doesn't matter how high profile the star from the early seasons, I don't think I would give up a first rounder when the opportunity cost is an 18 year old girl with uninterrupted junior development.
    Whereas a known men's star is definitely with a 1st rounder over an untried boy coming out of high school footy.

    It wants to explode. I'm very pro equality, but most games thus far are of an abysmal standard, in fact as someone who welcomed the advent of women's footy, it's embarrassing to try and build up a game where 3.2.20 is a winning score, in fact I'm genuinely surprised how mediocre the game has been. Btw, pretending it's not so, and acting like every behind is some kind of cazaly level act of genius, only hinders development.

    The sad reality is that AFLW is never going to be much of a commerical success.. in just the same way as most other women's sports aren't. However, that will not stop these mostly subpar athletes from pushing and whinging until they receive equality of pay with their male counterparts. The AFL has really created a monster headache for itself with this, and it is going to become very ugly in the coming years.

    They should shorten the field and pull the posts in or something. It shouldn't take 6 shots to get across the field because they are playing on a field designed for people who average fifty metre kicks

      @@JimmyRaptis Don't agree. Running AFLW as a "curtain raiser" to AFL will just further ensconce the view to people that AFLW is the "inferior" quality AFL. It also doesn't look good playing AFLW games in front of small crowds at big stadiums. Playing like they are now in smaller venues is more appropriate and gives the AFLW a unique, more close up feel.

    I don’t think so. The quarters are too short low scoring and too many injuries. Ask anyone in Melbourne to name 3 players. I didn’t think so. Why are they stars these comments are ridiculous. Dustin Martin would win on his own against a full team. Gimme a break please
