Good op, go Crows, I hope Charlie Cameron, who is the best and my favourite, kicks all the goals and wins the Coleman medal and stuff.

Also go the other Crows, I hope Chelsea Randall does the same thing with the kicking of all the goals, because I decided preseason that she was my favourite.

Netball background is the new basketball background

On the other hand, the Crows have an Olympic basketball silver medallist on the roster, and she is my favourite, along with Chelsea Randall and Ebony Marinoff who are also my favourites, and will kick all the goals. (OK maybe just Marinoff will kick all the goals because of those three she's the only player in the forward line.)

Just got to watch the replay of Crows vs GWS and early indicators are that I am good at picking favourite players IMO.

And I guess being an actual professional athlete in another sport already gives a bit of a leg up. Start poaching more WNBA players IMO, AFLW.

Question: for the AFLW teams, 9000 was described as being a pretty good crowd. (And it was probably a bigger crowd than, for example, GWS had in some of its year one matches.) How big do we reckon crowds will eventually get? Will it be big enough to warrant maybe using actual AFL ovals?

And if not, would there maybe be room to expand AFLW into states that don't have AFL sides due to smaller populations? Like for example, one suggested reason Tassie doesn't have an AFL team has been that they have a relatively small population split up between Launceston and Hobart, but if they're not aiming for the 50,000 or so strong crowds that you get in the AFL, could Tassie sustain an AFLW team just as easily as one of the bigger states does?

Still, even if we lose tomorrow we had this today



Huh, I was sure I'd seen somewhere that if you rock up to the game early you get to welcome the AFLW premiers.

Nah, I read it for information's sake, just that this particular angle was completely new to me; it was claimed that Dermott Brereton raised it on SEN with AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan. Surely the boys can't be that threatened?

Baseless speculation:

Firstly, there are no openly gay players in the AFL. (Because historically contact sports have contained a higher than average number of people who call people 'fags' and would happily bash someone for talking with a lisp.)

By contrast, there are a few openly gay female athletes in a number of different sports. (More baseless speculation: because: a. lesbians have not historically been bashed for being gay (I don't even know if this is true, but I just haven't heard of it as much, and bashing people for being 'wrong' is a more stereotypically male activity) and b. female athletes have already often been stereotyped as being lesbian, because being physically fit is stereotypically masculine, which particularly coming from the 90s, may have seen straight women more likely to avoid these activities for fear of being branded a lesbian)

So people see that there are more openly gay women in certain sports than there are openly gay men, and conclude they must be somehow making them gay within the sport, rather than female sports being less toxic towards gay people/society in general being more toxic towards female sports.

PS go Crows!
