would be great if we could lend Tiwi a couple
of bombers for a run, could be like a preseason match for our boys. get some people through the gates. Maybe if there wasn’t covid to worry about. would be a great opportunity to give our indigenous lads.
I mean imagine having the choice of playing a live NTFL match for Tiwi or playing GWS in a practice match/ or a intra club match.
Adding brand and Eyre for some height. Tippa has he ever played NTFL? and Johnson. plus send a coach and fitness staff up with them too along with Forster-knight, Dodoro and Sheedy.
last years indigenous game went so well in Darwin.
Adelaide clubs have Sanfl matches starting early for their kids.
we’re already tuning in to watch NTFL when the Davey boys play.
The AFL is removing funding from male development programs to feed female development programs… and for those people that say equality means removing resources from one to feed the other, the AFL proves them right.
Which is absolute bullsh*t.
If the AFL was fully committed to the Women’s competition, it wouldn’t be at the expense of the men’s program. They have f*cked the AFLW from the beginning. It’s been an absolute disaster. They have gone about it all wrong.
Again the AFL proving they are more interested in virtue signalling than making decisions that commit to raising the standards of players coming into the competition. What competition willingly regresses?! Fark you AFL.
Yeah wow. Good news for the girls but surely the powers that be could have found alternate financial streams as not to effect the male programs. Really feels like a cut of your nose to spite your face scenario from the AFL.
Instead of having a tailored development program with coaches that have the expertise to coach young women… they’ve just shoe-horned them into the men’s program. A one size fits all approach.
The AFL has failed to make the women’s competition legitimate by trying squeez it around the men’s competition and created a Mickey Mouse round robin comp that lasts 2 months.
