AFLW 2022

[kruddler]

I understood your point.

I think you might have missed the fact that I made a different one.

Still you might not have.  The men's competition represents the top 700 men in the country irrespective of where they want to play their footy (plenty go home).  The women's competition is the top 700 women in the country.  Most of which are talented enough to earn a crust playing a different sport, and the pool those 700 come from is a much smaller pool, than the equivalent for males.

Thats my point.  The competition is too big.  The afl clubs have ruined the women's version because they all want to show how progressive they are. 

It's not 700....it's currently 420 and it's not the best 420, it's the best....
30 from Adelaide/Nt
30 from nsw
60 from qld
60 from wa
240 from Vic.

It's state of origin with Vic having 8bof the 14 rep sides and trying to compete with SA who has 1.

Men's comp you can get drafted to a different state.
Women's, you have to choose to go....and if you do....it's usually because it's the only way you'll get a game because you're not good enough to be picked in your own state.


I understand your point about overall participation by comparison, and I think that girs without saying since 6 years ago there wasn't even a path for players to get paid.
