Grand Final

[townsendcalling]

So often during the game, the term 'brutal' was continually used and was backed up by the actions of many players on the ground and well done to them. Their attack on the ball and player was exceptional. .

It made for a good spectacle............but do mothers walk away from watching that saying 'THAT'S the sport I want my daughter to play!!"

I would argue that the skill, fitness and professionalism of the Matildas would be far more attractive to parents than the self confessed 'brutality' of AFLW at the highest level.

Probably not ... but that's why lots of girls are busting a gut to play AFLW and why the women's game will never "evolve" into something radically different to the men's game.

If you want an advertisement as to why the AFL pays big dollars for international artists to perform at the mens GF, you only had to watch the AFLW GF pre-game. They had some artist call GFlip who is apparently Australian and an international star. I have no idea who she is, all I heard was some woman yelling for 15 mins or so! It was embarrassing.

After a slow start, the game was quite entertaining.

Mate, that probably says more about you.
I’d say the AFLW actually targeted and got a direct hit with Gflip.
As opposed to the afl literally rolling out a procession of wheelchairs with geriatrics who have been unheard of for 40 years, but that says a lot about me…

Exactly.

The reason i remembered gflip did the mens/AFL grand final is because a friends daughter had no interest in watching the actual footy, but demanded to be told when it was time for the half-time show just for her 5 minutes of fame.

Which is exactly what the AFL wanted. To target a different audience. It worked.

I must admit I've never heard of the woman before. But I'm not in their target audience.
But then, I don't know any modern performer: doesn't go well with Tchaikovskiy or Wagner of Richard Strauss.

What about my old friend Luddie V and his drogues ?

Never heard of them. But that is the usual response to what I listen to.

If I heard my music at a GF, male or female, I'd probably burst out laughing: I'd probably be the only one in the crowd to recognize it. )

Sounds like [member=58]crashlander[/member] and Yoko Ono are a pigeon pair!

Unless of course Crashlander is Yoko Ono!
