On pure economics, more elite female sport is akin to the government wanting more woman in the workforce, it doubles the amount of people paying tax and significantly increases consumption.

And don't misconstrue that as me not being 100% supportive and active in helping grow female participation. I'm just highlighting the economic decision making behind the explosion of elite female comps in the past 5 or so years.

great idea... everyone please tag all future threads pertaining to the AFLW with "AFLW" so we can all avoid them.
Thanks in advance.
So how come you keep coming back to this thread? Must be your sixth post on a thread you are trying to avoid.
Try 11th.

But trust me, he has no interest in it, or so he feels the need to keep telling us...

What a sexist remark (and tired cliche) I'm so threatened by a competition that has free admission and struggles to kick two goals in an entire game.
Ok boomer.

Another tired cliche. must be something in those 'tide pods' ?

Tired cliche? Nah, don’t think so. But I understand why you would want to pretend so.

Sexist 1970s gender roles, now there’s a tired cliche. 👍

Maybe you could expand a bit on this so called ‘agenda’ the AFL is pushing and why you are so against it, and we can see where everyone sits?

Doubles the amount of people paying tax? Tax payments are scaled to income, so what is the benefit? Having more people employed doesn't create more tax, it reduces income rates and increases competition for jobs.

Are you really going to try and compare the Boomers to the Millenials? Seriously. You speak of 1970s gender roles, what about early 20th century authoritarian socialism. Was a disaster the first time, so let's do it again.

I thought the AFLW was losing money hand over fist.

Reputation management/marketing 101: The AFL are using it as a vehicle and a brand extension to promote the parent AFL brand because that’s where all the money is. They want to be known as the good corporate citizen. There’s nothing virtuous about this at all; it’s business.

It’s also political but let’s not go there...

Great athletes by the way but it’s practically a different game so I don’t know what the complaints are all about. It should be judged on its own merits.

It's similar to economic stimulation through immigration whereby the ROI is from the second generation because the first generation required significant financial assistance to settle and establish a foothold. So just like when immigration numbers were doubled around 2005, we are only now seeing the children from the immagrants of that time enter the workforce and provide the government with an ROI. AFLW is a long game in terms of financial independence.

And totally agree on great athletes and being a totally different game and if one does judge it on its own merits it actually is great to watch. I like the slower speed at which the game is played at.

It’s got a 1930s look to it, but a ‘google’ search describes it as a “1950 Argus badge” I reckon if the sainters brought that badge back as a lapel pin it would sell like hot cakes.

Whilst we didn't get the result we were after, I reckon it was a fantastic day! It had a real festival-like feel and everyone looked like they were having a fun time. There are a few things for the club to improve upon but that's to be expected after their first go at it. I can't wait for next weeks treat with the lads on Thursday then back again when the woman take on the Dee's!

Also, I had myself a good chuckle at some of the knuckle-draggers that have popped up in this thread. Unbelievable but not surprising really. Would hate to be a woman in those households...

Maybe some of your "knuckle-draggers" are women? My wife is also a Saints fan and cannot watch AFLW. Maybe some fans are more discerning and wish to watch quality sport, and don't blindly follow a low quality but strongly promoted commercial vehicle just because they wear the red, white and black.

I have also had a good chuckle on here because apparently those that have no interest in watching AFLW are:

emasculated individuals
against the AFLW product
not loyal Saints supporters
knuckle draggers

Quite funny really. I think some of the knuckle dragging is on the other foot. Good luck to those who enjoy watching AFLW, and good luck to the team, but I have better things to do with my time, and will stick to elite high quality sport.
