Unless there’s a stack of people on the other side of the ground, I’d say a disappointingly small crowd. I actually quite like women’s football but think it needs a revamp. Incomplete home and away seasons do nothing for the sport. Perhaps 2 divisions East and West of 9 teams each, with a final 5 for each and a premiership for each with the 2 premiers playing each other for the championship of Australia?
They tried a conference system previously and it was an abject failure and ridiculed by everyone, it will never happen again. The AFLW season is expected to increase by one round a season over the 5/6 years until they get to a point where every team plays each other once.
@@Leftfield71 That’s true but they made a real hash of it from memory where there were too many inter conference games meaning that sides with more wins and tougher opponents missed out on the finals. America has had various conference systems quite successfully for their NFL, so a side can win its conference and also have a chance at playing in the Super Bowl. When they tried the AFLW conference system in 2019 they only had 10 teams I believe. Dividing 10 teams into 2 conferences of 5 teams was ridiculous. For all the free publicity AFLW gets in the newspapers, etc., it still looks very much like an afterthought, say, when compared to women’s soccer.
5 goals in 4 minutes of "highlights". This could have been a 20 second video. And the reason there was no crowd was because no normal person wants to sit in the rain for 2 hours and watch U10 boys level footy.
The AFL cannot afford to pay the AFLW players. But they can afford to pay Katty Perry $5 Million. This is after they had unknown singers at the AFLW Grand Final. What a joke.
Have you considered that Katy Perry is actually worth spending 5 million dollars on? I mean at least Katy perry performed well for 20 minutes cant say the same about this game
@@Anonymous-12a Have you noticed all the Ground upgrades at all the Training Grounds. They were paid for with Women in sport grants. Katty Perry did not get those the AFLW players did. There would be no flood lights, electronic scoreboards, new administration facilities and new player training facilities without the AFLW. The AFL has cleverly used the AFLW to steal millions off the taxpayer. The women who made that possible deserve higher pay.
@@Anonymous-12a The AFL is only using women's footy as a way to steal millions of dollars off the taxpayer in the form of womens' in sport grants. Collingwood did the same thing with netball. Stole millions of dollars from the taxpayer. Then closed down the womens team. Collingwood made a fortune from the Netball team.
We are Norrh ....Great Club Akways !!
