Of course it's compromised, 18 teams, uneven "fixture" etc. The reserves debate. *sigh*
The AFL fund the NEAFL through Sydney, GWS, Gold Coast and Brisbane. That works for the AFL and they won't be changing that.
The VFL, SANFL and WAFL serve the rest of the country. The AFL are more than happy with the state league set up and they won't be having an AFL reserves any time soon.

Why would the AFL want to have to fund a national reserves men comp, and be the ones forking out for travel, accommodation, etc for a second rate competition that already exists and isn't really broken?

Post that in the no AFL in the SANFL thread on the SANFL board and sit back with the popcorn.

The AFL aren't fussed about the women's comp making money
This is just an exercise to generate further interest in the AFL men's comp with women increasingly becoming the house hold deciscion maker especially when it comes to financial expenses in regards to hobbies/recreation etc

Jim, tomorrow there will be a heap of posts in here about the 14,000 that were at tonights game plus the TV ratings and you and I are dinosaurs etc etc stuck in the past blah blah blah I can see it already.
The fact its the first game of the season and everyone has free entry they'll probably get near 15,000 in, but lets see how long these numbers last! I'm tipping not long at all.

What's the reasoning behind your desire to see it fail?

Personally I don't want to see it fail but have zero interest until the standard gets to a point where it's worth watching which probably won't be in my lifetime. The constant ramming of the AFLW down the throat by the media has put plenty off it aswell.

Of course the standard will be poor, but who cares.... That will improve and this is a great stage for that... You say you don't want it to fail, but every post you out on here regarding this topic is a dig...
I personally don't get why the hate, considering it opens up the doors for girls to play in a national comp...
Considering you are bimbers fan I would have thought any news which doesn't include you team would be great...

Watch a game of VFL from the 70's and tell me thats a good standard compared to todays AFL.

I don't see the product being there. Don't necessarily want to see it fail as such, but like Jim its certainty something that I have zero interest in.
How many of you on here have been to or even watched Males Netball? I'm guessing less than 1%

Well how totally f@#king sexist that is, Total outrage this is crap I'm going to the newspapers about this total uproar
Probably isn't a comp as there is no product just as the woman's AFL.......
