Do the clubs offer the Women's teams injury rehab and all the medical trimmings, or do they have to pay for procedures out of pocket to get game ready?

Remember when it used to be a running joke that Telstra would redesign the AFL site every year and it would always been orders of magnitude worse than the previous redesign, and then they solved that problem by just keeping the same design for the past decade?

Good times.

I tried this and found that it became way harder, if not impossible, to enjoy as a neutral supporter when your team has no skin in the game at all - eg that who you are watching is a future opponent and/or the results could impact your ladder position.
