my mates used to come and watch me play footy, and i can assure you it wasn't for the quality of the footy. footy is way more than watching elite athletes running around.
the lady Blues go hard at it, and are playing for CFC. that's enough for me to enjoy the game.
the players and the game will evolve over time, like everything starting out. they simply haven't had the pathway, the development, or the number of participants required yet. even so, i enjoy it for what it is. they are the best women footballers in the country, and they're having a crack.
i think the AFL are being smart. they can afford to prop up the aflw, because it will pay them back in spades. more female participation equals more female bums on seats and more female viewers on telly, and more boys allowed to play junior footy. it's just another aspect of the brand to me, and helps them be more inclusive.
Go Lady Blues.
