Absolutely, but like any of us most of these girls are in it because they love the game (or it's the only one available that they can play at a professional level). I know Hodder came over from the NRL because she preferred AFL. Many others came over from basketball or Gaelic football which I believe we pay more than. I think of American football or even something like MMA - both are lot more likely to cause injury still, but again people start it because they enjoy it as much as anything.Of course, but these girls could do well at sports not so likely to screw their knees is all
I don't get this attitude. So arbitrary. So 1 ACL per 5000 hours or whatever for men is 'worth it' but 2 or 3 for women is not? Who defines this, and how?The women do acls way too easily …. Not sure it’s worth it
It’s not 2 or 3 is the point.I don't get this attitude. So arbitrary. So 1 ACL per 5000 hours or whatever for men is 'worth it' but 2 or 3 for women is not? Who defines this, and how?
Meanwhile 100s of people killed by cars every year in Australia is apparently 'worth it' for us to all drive around 10km/hr faster... ah sorry that's my other job leaking over.
Anyway, was starting to think Mowbray was looking like a real asset to the side, so that's a shame, but lots of players have come back really well. Hopefully still a long career ahead of her.
I just made up the numbers, sorry should have been clear. Have looked them up now, for the most recent season the incidence is 2.84 ACL injuries per 1000 player hours, vs 0.8 for typical men's season. So actually a pretty similar ratio to what I said but wrong number of player hours. The women's numbers were higher in the earlier seasons but have been trending down, which is a good indication that their preventative measures are working.It’s not 2 or 3 is the point.
“This project is imperative for us to continue to grow and expand our training and community facility - the VALO Community Centre - for our AFL, AFLW and netball teams and work towards developing a dedicated AFLW stadium right here at Sydney Olympic Park,” Mr Matthews said.

Apologies for being off topic, does anyone have anymore information on this project? Sounds like a potential AFLW stadium in Olympic Park is in the works for sometime in the future.
I'd imagine it'd be more of an oval rather than stadium though would be good to see if there were any timeframes for any AFLW games being played in SOP in the next few seasons.
Basically the plan is to upgrade Tom Wills to host AFLW games.
will also be able to hold VFL games there. Think it was going to be able to hold 5kBasically the plan is to upgrade Tom Wills to host AFLW games.
The club ends up in a really sticky spot each time. She plays a big part in demographics that we hope to get in.The way the club has let the Zreika situation continue year after year is ridiculous. My simple take is she is either all in or all out.
If they see Zreika as part of there future plans then the middle ground might be to no longer have an LGBT+ jersey but rather optional headgear/headband etc. Because you can't keep having a situation where a player keeps sitting out a game. While this week's game doesn't matter there will be a time when it could be the difference between making finals or missing out.The club ends up in a really sticky spot each time.
