:-? do channel 7 sponsor the doggies? Plenty of exposure for whoever does ;)
SCORES
Carlton 46-11 Collingwood
Adelaide 48-12 GWS
Over 50,000 attended the four games this weekend. The AFL should be happy, it would almost certainly be more than the number who attended the whole WBBL tournament (59 games) this summer.

It's like entering a rocking horse in the Melbourne Cup.
The sooner it dies its timely death the better.

It will also be interesting to see how many people turn up to watch Brisbane play at the South Pine Sports Complex (located in the Moreton Bay region). The Lions already have enough trouble getting people to watch the AFL at the 'Gabba as it is.
Total crowd numbers
Round 1 : 50,457
Round 2 : 32,469
Round 3 : 26,506
Round 4 : 18,776

Should we have a national men’s netball league ???
AFL should have just joined up with the netball and had a team for each club.
Women’s cricket is getting real good.
Women’s soccer is world class.
Women’s netball is amazing
Women’s AFL......?

Agree with most of your points Tivers .. Soccer-yep, Netball-fantastic..not sure even sceptical on the cricket one ill assume you have watched some of this :P
The top cricket players are awesome.
But they have been playing that at a national level for decades.
Guess you could say the same for AFLW..... give it time.
But 18 teams x 22 players, with a lot of the best athletes still playing Netball / Basketball (the biggest $$$ one of the lot) / Soccer etc
AFLX rules
http://m.afl.com.au/aflx/aflx-explained
Note, the Eagles and Dockers will play their AFLX matches on Thursday February 15 in Adelaide (Hindmarsh Stadium).
Regarding women's cricket, I think T20 (WBBL) is the perfect format. Short enough that it ain't completely boring (considering that the scoring rate in some women's Tests can be less than 2/over), but long enough that the good players can still crack a 100 or take a 5-for.
Out of interest, looking back at the inaugural season of VFL back in 1897. The opening round scores of that round were as follows:
• Fitzroy beat Carlton 49-16
• Collingwood beat St Kilda 41-16
• Geelong lost to Essendon 24-47
• South Melbourne lost to Melbourne 27-44
If it's discussed on the Sports Daily Tabradio, immediate switch to Millsy and Bz for me.
By all means have a comp, but don't ram in it on to us please.
