Grand Final

[kruddler]

Your comments highlight the fundamental problem with AFLW, there is such a strong desire to try and play the same game style as the men that is detracting from the spectacle.

I remain convinced, the first AFLW team that lets' go of the "Play like the Boys" mindset, will have it's Barassi / Hopkins moment and change AFLW forever.

If it stays anchored and focussed on the power and strength aspects of footy, it will forever be the poorer cousin of the AFL.

You've posted this on no less than a dozen occassions by my count and almost everytime i point out how wrong this statement is.

AFLW IS a different game to the men.

Different size ball.
Different rules.
Different length of game.
Different amount of players on the ground.
Different amount of players on the bench.
I'm not sure what else you want changed before you accept this fact?
Perhaps you want a round ball on a rectangle oval, shooting at a rectanglar goal without using your hands? Thats a different kind of football, its called soccer.

There is an oval ball.
There is an oval ground.
There are the same amount of posts at each end and the same amount of points given for scoring.
There are marks, kicks and handballs.

A lot of the other stuff is different.
