It's using our senior players so it will be effecting them and I'm hoping it won't be adversely effective on our main season.
Shrug shoulders.
I don't know what you read to end up with this but meh for me the main allure of Carlton is watching our team play afl footy and whilst I'm happy for our women's team and wish them every success it is merely a detail.
I don't have daughters, but I can understand why some people are so frustrated with the way women in sport are perceived.
I think they deserve every bit of attention they get without the need to judge them relative to men. I do not see them as halftime entertainment or a curtain raiser there just to fill in the blanks. I'm sure you don't mean to infer that they are just a sideshow.
I see the elite in the girls, even if it is a different kind of elite to the men!
