Women's League

[Thryleon]

I can't see the AFL tipping in vast amounts of money if there is no return on their investment. I realise they throw money at GWS & GC but they are strategically located clubs who tie in importantly with their gazillion dollar TV rights deal.

The other issue that concerns me most is if this doesn't succeed, how exposed might we be when our finances are already not where we want them to be.

If we can get a bit of money and the relevant council approval to do up Princes Park and be able to use it for both men and women this team will pay for itself three times over in the next ten years.

This could be extremely lucrative for our footy club if we manage to work this the right way and that's with a woman's team that's insolvent.  Imagine they actually get a bit of sponsorship, garner a crowd and turn a profit.
