Is that the Australian Women's Football United League?

I don't recall any news stores on mainstream news media about North Adelaide's second consecutive year of $300,000 plus profits, or better still Sturt who I understand recently turned a profit from a loss last year (I stand to be corrected on that) through some savvy cost-cutting and raising funds via the selling of picket fences at Unley Oval. These stories deserve at least some oxygen in the football media landscape.

We were promised Increased Media Exposure as one of the key reasons for selling out to the eastern league.

Well, we sure got it.

Yep some of them want to dine out on caviar when they should be sticking to two minute noodles.

It's ok if they spend and create either on field success ( Norwood ) or off field success ( North ) but if they spend and only end up with timber cutlery, well.....

But what if they bought these? Dining room success 1974 style, if you ask me.

I'm not aware of what's proposed, what would be the issues (if any)?

WIthout seeing it I suspect it is about the minimum age of kids playing under 8's footy, AFL have changed it that kids need to be 7 by 30/4 each year to play club footy. If they aren;t that age they need to stick to Auskick (which makes the AFL more $ surprisingly) but opens the threat of kids going to other sports that accept kids at the lower age bracket.
