I think they deserve every bit of attention they get without the need to judge them relative to men. I do not see them as halftime entertainment or a curtain raiser there just to fill in the blanks. I'm sure you don't mean to infer that they are just a sideshow.
I see the elite in the girls, even if it is a different kind of elite to the men!
Its a different competition to watch that is for sure, and I meant in no way to paint them as a side show.
The main event will always be the main event.
Like MIO my time is divided into the what I can follow and what I can't, and largely that time is dictated by a female which has a tinge of irony to it (my wife).
Occasionally she prevents me from seeing the AFL seniors.
