bell jar posted:the only revolution going on in australian rules football is the radical millennial consolation point system Most team sport is based on a multi-point scoring system except soccer which takes inspiration from feudal society in that whether you will ever be happy depends entirely on getting born into a wealthy club and also most people just walk around in the dirt for 99.9% of their time

Maybe this is a dumb question but what's the problem with having slightly smaller footies and basketballs for womens versions of the sports? Wouldn't having your play item being scaled to the slightly smaller average size of the player make the game play more similarly? Javelin, hammer and shotput have different implements for mens and womens competitions...

They’re smaller size balls than are used in other competitions the women have been playing in, leading to them behaving differently when you take a running bounce etc Also smaller ball = less mass = more affected by wind on longer or higher kicks, reducing the ability of the women to execute skills they can with the size ball they’re used to

The AFL thread was talking about it earlier- most of the players initially used full size balls so the smaller ones throw them off. They are also lighter and are more affected by wind I think But the commission is too busy whoring out AFLX so

The AFL had been stalling adding support for the women's game because they wanted to sink the money into other coke fueled pipe dreams, but when the exhibition game bone they threw to shut people up proved to be overwhelmingly popular, they were forced into a corner, and had to launch the women's league. Now they're in a bind, because none of the decision makers at AFL house want it, but they can't get rid of it, and every time they try to defund it by stealth or devalue it by pushing their other nonsense, they get caught and cop a public pasting for it. The AFL is the most tone deaf sports organisation in the country, and that's at a time when the NRL is paying a violent home invader to play, the FFA is at war with fans over flares and chants and launched an eSports league that garnered more viewers than their actual sport, Cricket Australia tried to con the public into helping them bust the players union, and the AOC held a Putin style election to reinstall their sexist and abusive President.

AFLW is far more interesting to watch than AFL, and the women who play have more passion for the game than any in the AFL.

In 2016 my local club across the road had 0 women's teams. In 2017 they had an open (16+) women's team, and enough U14 girls players to put out a 14 or so player team. This year they have a women's team, a women's U18 team, a girls U16 team, and a girls U14 team

DancingShade posted:Was it on advertiser revenue grounds or something else? They put 5 games on 7 for Adelaide and Melbourne, the rest on 7mate, and every game on 7mate for Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, with anywhere else needing Foxtel, and no one was really sure why. I don't think 7 ever gave an explanation. There was nothing else sports on, and they didn't do any advertising for it during the Australian Open. On the other hand, the AFL put zero into advertising it as well, because they were caught having transferred basically all of the AFLW advertising budget to their AFLX flop, an idiotic attempt at a land grab over both soccer and cricket by scheduling a preseason competition during cricket season that used cut down rules to create a T20-like game using soccer pitches. The best and only advertising all year was by the league sponsor NAB, who ran a cool ad about creating history by inserting current players into archival footage from the 50s, 70s, and 80s. The short answer is AFL House is full of failed-upwards paradigm breaking synergy assistant-loving management types who routinely manipulate events to gain desired outcomes, and while it works inside the league where they have total control of the teams and the media, they're loving terrible at it when they try it outside their bubble.

DancingShade posted:I also blame the national distributors gouging everyone. This. Even though the costs of warehousing and distribution should be coming down due to better warehousing and stock management software the one's I'm familiar with are very unwilling to decrease their margins. I think the end game is for the distributors to turn themselves into large online stores that bypass the retail outlets altogether.

It’s outside the rules (electorate staff should not be performing political tasks in an election), the ombudsman has accepted the MPs version of events that they did not realise what they did was in breach of the rules, and the Labor party has paid the State back prior to these findings being released. Yes what they did was wrong, up to you whether you believe they didn’t know what they were doing was wrong at the time they were doing it, it pales in comparison to LNP corruption.
