No problem with it as long as it's not coming out of the pockets of the men.
If the comp can support itself good on it

Just to clarify are you saying you go to the WBBL games? I have struggled to watch that on TV at all.
I will go to the Watch the First Lady Crows game as my girlfriend loves the Crows and we know one of the players but from what I have seen so far the standard needs a few years to lift. I'd expecting a pretty mixed bag in the first year.
Fremantle Dockettes v Western Ladydogs (can't use the b word) in the GF I'm tipping

That sounds just a tad precious. Actually more than a tad, to be honest. The women aren't getting paid much at all and soon enough I think you'll see a lot of support for the women. In the end, this is something that should end up earning all AFL footballers more. You only have to look at the support the womens cricket gets these days to see a strong growth potential.

You don't think the AFL can support it with the income they generate?

There needs to be a point, as with all businesses, where it stands on its own 2 feet.

I don't see how a womens league could be a bad thing for anybody.
Don't like it? Don't watch it.
The amount of money it would cost to run compared to the amount of money the AFL brings in every single year would be minuscule. The media rights alone generate $2.5 BILLION over 6 years.
I think they'll manage.

The A League is rubbish, but the FFA keep running that too.

On a side note, I tried to watch the W-League game between Adelaide and Sydney the other day. You think mens soccer is boring?.....lordy.
