AFLW 2022

[kruddler]

So you think one of the reasons Dalton played Australian Rugby for the gold medal loot, it's an absurd argument and ignorant of what it costs to be an Olympian!

I've read before that the swimmers need $10 in sponsors for every $1 they can earn just to get there!

I think you need to reread before you go off half cocked.

Obviously we lost Chloe Dalton because she could earn more money/satisfaction outside of AFLW circles (in rugby 7's) and we lost her as a result. If we gave her more uncertainty, she could still be with us, and potentially never sat out to begin with.

The satisfaction is the gold medal....thats what she was chasing....as i said, it also come with more money. So why would she stay?

Implication being, if we paid her MORE money to stay in the AFLW, then perhaps that would override the 'money/satisfaction' combination and she wouldn't have left. As it stands, it was never in doubt.
