Funds would be fair better used saving grassroots clubs and grassroots competitions, where plenty of Comps are currently on there knees.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment of this comment, too many grassroots clubs would spend money on buying a premiership rather than using it for its intention

Although what Zartan said is right, unfortunately the AFL is a business and it now doesn't give a rats tossbag about the Grassroots level I would like to see some of the money being poured into Womens Football being spent on upgrading/redeveloping Grassroots clubs facilities instead of giving it straight to clubs where they can, as you say buy a premiership.
And the AFL have to look as far as the Glenelg Football Club to see a club on it's knees financially. If circumstances get really bad for the Bays I hope the AFL decide to help them. They simply cannot let a club that has successfully survived for 95 years and provided the AFL with many good footballers over the years (and this goes for any club that could find themselves in that position) wither away while pouring money into Womens football.

The AFL wanted a women's team in each state. They are pumping money into both sides and since they are basically paying for everything at the Suns maybe Brisbane was the cheaper option for them.

I heard a bird on talk back last week saying that men shouldn't have any place in the involvement in coaching and support staff because there will be perverts in the change rooms. I've heard small snipets over the past couple years of other clueless idiots saying similar things at grassroots level too. Just let the girls play for god sake there is things in place already. Hopefully this generates more coin and funding so we can have a proper reserves comp too at AFL level.
