AFLW 2022b - R9 vs Gold Coast - Friday @ Metricon.

[Thryleon]

Olympians do it all the time on less, the lower wage is a bullcrap argument that doesn't stack up.

The female cricketers play more games, travel more, play more games, spend more time away form home and do it virtually al year long for less money than some o the AFLW girls.

The lack of money argument is a con.

Olympians train for years for the pinnacle participating in meets that last a few weeks along the way.  Not sure how that compares to uprooting across the country for a 3 month season and knowing that each match you miss is as important as the end goal of the once in 4 year Olympic games where sponsorship will outweigh anything the girls get paid.  The Olympians although frugal will get way more than afl women do if they qualify.  Even standardised and using some of the girls misrepresents your argument because first year draftees don't earn that much.

Do all afl players earn a million dollars a year? Nope.  2% do.
