Re: Women's League

I don't mind women's sport and happily watch netball, hockey and basketball.
Women's footy is occasionally played at Box Hill oval and I have wandered over for a look. I'm not sure what the level is but the players' ability varied quite a lot. The better players were very good and had excellent skills. I think that I could watch women's footy if the standard was uniformly high.
Restricting the competition to 8 teams is a good start but I'm not sure that the talent pool is there just yet. Even with the lead time, recruitment of elite sportswomen and intensive coaching, it will take some time to build up numbers, feeder competitions and interest.
