That would be consistent with where our footy club is currently at so I agree. I think we are taking a whole of club approach to long term thinking.
What I was hoping for was some success from our women in the short term, to help attract some new members, and to try and show that our club is capable of getting things right.
Still I don't mind. We need to be looking down the road for our club and how we can improve it and restore the club to its former glory.
I truly believe that AFL W is the way our club will rebuild its supporter base for both the men's and women's teams, and we should do everything possible not to treat it as a mickey mouse competition like I have heard from some sections of our supporter base. Yes our Men's team will always be the main event for the average fan currently but down the track it won't be that way, and IMHO, shouldn't as the women hold the key to us changing our overall look and feel as a footy club.
