I still think its about the look of the game, thats not what the AFL want to see on TV with young women and their parents watching and the womens game will be a very sanitized version of the male game until its established.

Sadly, I think you are absolutely right. 'The look' is paramount -- just look at the CEO, all about appearances/fluff and entertainment. It will be interesting to see just how far they sanitize the game based on appearances only, and what it will look like at the other end. Makes Maddie something of an 'example'... a scapegoat, and that offends me at every interpretation of fairness.
