Actually he isn't, he hasn't gone to any training sessions and he has basically ignored the AFLW players and coaches. That was probably more bullshit and spin from kock
The one time I am genuinely glad to hear Koch is full of shit.

By virtue of throwing money at women from other sports and giving them a football and everyone pretending they can football. Netball, basketball for starters are off the charts better women's sports in Aus with the quality of players we pump out. That's in spite of decades of mismanagement by relevant sporting bodies.What do you mean ‘meant to be’ it IS.
Yes, and this is the AFL properly managing women's footy to get it to the level they envisage. Giving them elite development pathways so in a generation the skill level has skyrocketed and AFLW is the premier women's sport.By virtue of throwing money at women from other sports and giving them a football and everyone pretending they can football.

By creating a league before there was even a pathway to it or state leagues? Yep doing a bang up job mirroring the absolute failure of the NBA so far. The idea is right, they've just completely ****ed it so Gil could say he implemented it before he left. Let's see how they navigate the drop off in enthusiasm to join from the juniors now it's not new and shiny, a nice easter egg for the new CEO to have to deal with. Anyway going back to sacking hinkley threads now.Yes, and this is the AFL properly managing women's footy to get it to the level they envisage.

Netball and Basketball are better at the moment because every girl plays one or the other. The AFL are specifically trying to drag those girls over to footy.
People play sport to emulate their heroes. Without AFLW you don't get the huge uptick of girls signing up to play footy because it's a dead end sport. Those girls are lost to Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Hockey, hell, even Cricket and Soccer at this point because those sports are putting the resources in.By creating a league before there was even a pathway to it or state leagues?

Lauren slyly mentioned the umps
Those that didn't get a game this week, do they get to play somewhere else?
6 minutesI was disappointed not to be able to find any video of Lauren's press conference after the game, as is always available after the men's games. Does anyone know if it’s available anywhere?
Thanks vm, I just watched it. She’s a gem.6 minutes
