can we do what we did before we joined the afl and pay some of these ladies to stay out of the draft and play for us when we get in...
The only thing in life you cant do is defy the law of gravity and other laws of science. The rest you can do, but it might break a man made law, but you have to be prepared to pay the price. I would be prepared to bet $1,000 there are no rules in place for a women's competition, so there are no laws to break or to adhere to.
 
As 'herself' and 'self' are about to depart (this Sabbath) to the much colder climes of HK, it would be heartening to see on return the PAFC has been very active in developing a genuine female footy squad. Yep, we can spend so much time debating why 'we' shouldn't be involved. Perhaps spend a tad more time on HOW we can make it work

Let's make 'this' happen:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Adelaide Crows want a women’s football team but South Australia may miss out

“I think it only works with a stand-alone team,” Fagan said. “And I think the AFL’s view from the start should be that these (women’s) teams should exist under the banner of the established AFL brands, such as the Adelaide Crows.

“And we share that point of view. We’ve put a concept to the AFL that we think should address the core requirements to have a sustainable, well-supported and competitive team from 2017.

“But at this stage we have to wait to the formal tendering process to commence, which may not be until March or April.

“At that point, with all the other interested parties, we’ll be able to put our best foot forward.”

Established Brand?

Since when?

Not 1870 you goose! o_O

We need to put forward a strong submission.
 
Niether SA team is particularly profitable. I find it hard to believe either of us could handle a team without serious AFL subsidy.

You can blame the SANFL and the SMA for that.
 
the Port Adelaide 'Magpies' women's football team has a new coach and a first I believe transgender Aussie rules head coach, Markita Bond, I wonder if she is a relation to Shane and Troy?, hopefully Port can be pioneers for women on the national stage and if we get a national team Markita has some involvements and shows our willingness to be open and inclusive to all walks of life within the Port Adelaide family and community tackling social issues on and off the field

btw credit to Roy Laird and the Central Districts Football club in giving Markita her initial start and experience

SANFL hands SA junior women’s talent pool to Port Adelaide as chase for AFL women’s licence heats up
PORT ADELAIDE is to command the SA junior women’s talent pool with SANFL endorsement - a win that may also give the Power the edge in the eager chase for an AFL national women’s league licence.

It is now increasingly likely that the inaugural AFL national women’s league - set to be launched next year as a short-form competition - will have no SA-based team.
SA’s entry, in a replica of how the national men’s AFL league was built, may not emerge until 2020. And by then Port Adelaide will have developed a deep talent base from the SANFL junior ranks.

I had to read that 3-4 times, as I wasn't sure I was reading it correctly.. SANFL hand something to Port. What's the catch? o_O

Usually the word endorsement SANFL & Port are not words readily associated with each other, there must be more to this story!

What will happen is we do the heavy lifting and when we are about to reap the rewards for the hard work they will pull the rug out from under us. Cynical? Yes but born from experience, why should this be any different from every other time.
 
So my reading is this is how the structure of Women's footy will look like in 2016

SAWFL
stays and they run the Adult and U/18 teams. 21 clubs with only Port and West being SANFL clubs with a women's team in this league, with most of the rest being tied up with SAAFL clubs and a few stand alone clubs or like MT barker in another league.

Port Adelaide
get a part time role with the elite U/18's, they are based at Port and can use our facilities. We still have the PAWFC link

In 2012 The Port Adelaide Women’s Football Club (PAWFC) are very proud to announce that The Port Adelaide Football Club has invited the Women’s Club to join them as part of their “one Club” philosophy

This exciting move is allowing the Magpie Women to use the Nazar Reserve facility, located on Swan Terrace, Ethelton as a training base and home ground. This will also see PAWFC being invited to use the facilities at Alberton for training & home games on occasions throughout the coming seasons.

The partnership is evolving and is a great opportunity for the PAWFC to create its own piece of “Magpie” History as part of this iconic South Australian Football Club. In addition,an U18 team has been introduced in 2012 as the club grows in strength and numbers.

The SANFL Thursday assigned the State under-18 women’s program to the Power. The league junior development program is now based at Port Adelaide’s Alberton centre where the SA under-18 group will have its trials and training. Port Adelaide’s AFL-standard facilities will be available to the State under-18 program - as will the Power coaches when requested by State coach Bill Economou.

are responsible for U/8, U11, U/13 and U/15 development

Crows
Have a concept and doing something with NT and adult women in bid to get first licence. From today's story

http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/ad...t/news-story/c85b6772b753b09fd5f3d21857c5c0a9
The Crows have also made an alliance with Northern Territory football, which Adelaide chief executive Andrew Fagan believes gives the club a head start and a valid claim to be part of the first national women’s competition.

“I think with the level of talent that exists in South Australia at this point in time, you’d only be able to have one team in the initial model,” Fagan said. “Even then, you’d have to work hard to ensure that it’s going to be competitive in the initial stages. “Which is why we’ve entered into a partnership with AFL NT, which would combine the talent of the NT with South Australia and provide effectively a central corridor solution that we think is quite compelling

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat." - Margin Call

Adelaide is obviously taking option one with their NT model - the SANFL obviously had discussions with them first and wanted to base the elite team at West Lakes, but the fact that we are now ahead of them in so many areas meant that Fagan and the AFC board were forced into making a rash decision to 'get in first' with the women's team and corner the market. They probably believe that they can become a quasi NT team with a South Australian influence while Port 'wastes' time and money on developing junior female talent in SA that they can just cherry pick for their own team because they have the AFL license.

The issue with this is that the AFL have announced academies based in NT for Victorian clubs that will probably include women's teams for that region so they can add those areas to the national draft. I think the Crows have jumped the wrong way on this and it's going to bite them on the bum.

Port is going the smarter route. Working with the SANFL to develop core talent (which is what the AFL wants SA to do) and helping build the national drafting pool rather than being a parasitic entity only interested in the commercial viability of a team and how it can benefit PAFC. We won't be getting a team in 2017 (and SA never was), but we will be getting the first team in SA for that very reason.
 
Yes, it is rather AWFL.
SAWFL is an AWFL (Acronym With Five Letters)*

* AWFL is actually Acronym With Four Letters which were introduced when TLA combinations became too repetitive.
 
So my reading is this is how the structure of Women's footy will look like in 2016

I read an article a few weeks back that said the Port Adelaide women's team had no association with Port in the SANFL. It may have been the article about the new transgender coach (in fact it was)...

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/messe...d/news-story/8cb2b2ef2bb9e0543fbbb1ddd3dcf516

"Port Adelaide Women’s Football Club, which has no formal links with Port Adelaide Football Club, finished fourth in the SAWFL’s open division two last year."

The article by Daniela Abbracciavento - I have no idea who she is and the quality of her research, says - "no formal links." If that means no legal "ownership" then that is correct, but if there is an understanding and arrangement as per 2012 and the PAWFC website said there was a partnership. It just doesnt sound like the sort of thing KT would do to invite them in and then tear up the partnership. seeing as growing our community base and ties is central to the clubs strategy since KT got there.
 
I thought the Port Adelaide Football Club gave the Port Adelaide Women’s Football Club exclusive training base and club room use of our old 'banished' Magpies digs at Nazar reserve next to Le Fevre high school? surely that's some form of affiliation ?
Of course it is. The article said - "no formal link" - and I suspect the Messenger journo meant, they are separate legal entities with no common board members or staff or coaches. If she didnt then she doesnt know what
