Re: AFLW 2020 season

It seems that the failure of the expansion teams to record a win in round 1 has brought out the anti-AFLW trolls with a vengeance
I heard a bloke on the wireless today claiming that the money the AFL is pumping into the AFLW means that grass roots footy is under-funded and is withering on the vine. Trigger and Alister Nicholson didn't pull him up, which was a little disappointing, but (a) the amount of money the AFL is "pumping" into the AFLW is minuscule in terms of the AFL budget and (b) grass roots footy now involves girls and boys. Furthermore, the problems with grass roots footy are a lot more complex than AFL funding.
I appreciate that AFLW is not everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. If you don't like it, don't watch it ... and don't bitch about it.
PS Virginia revealed today that Swan McKay gave her the "Trigger" nickname and she seems quite proud both of the nickname and its creator.
