Left field idea.

With limited cricket at the QEO there could be an AFLW game played there in October

Wasn’t there cricket there each weekend last season?

I reckon there was an AFLW game played there a couple of years back. Richmond v Geelong I think. Good crowd turned up too.

i can (barely) recall early oughts preseason games at the QEO always drawing big crowds, back before the bendigo bombers disbanded

That’s small picture thinking. It’s created a massive boost in playing registrations and teams at every level that any sport would kill for. When you create more participants in a sport you create more interest in it, which in turn creates more money.
Female footy has been the best thing to happen to the game since the AFL expansion.

Good luck to Gisborne in there last game in the Bendigo League tomorrow. For what it is worth, my tip is Gisborne by 63 points. Too much class all over the ground.

80% of people that will walk through the gate will have players or officials passes to get in. Might be the lowest gate $ of all time.

Wonder if the current administration wizards considered this approach from 1980?
At least the administrators from 44 years ago asked the punters what they thought the league should do.

No need for a questionnaire nowadays.

Now it's "you'll get what we or the AFL want but we think everything is fine and dandy at present".

Why not have a festival of footy of aflw in country Victoria. Play a game a day through school holidays in Bendigo, shepp, Ballarat, Wang, Albury Swan hill etc sell the game

The Broadford circus with its ringmaster have until the end of September to prove they can field a senior team. May be admitted without a senior team.
