every time Aus v N.Z has been televised on Tv it has rated pretty well.

So no one watches 'these' sports, but by some miracle you think AFL womens comp is so different. Despite the fact that you have clubs headed by Misogynists, a male in the crowd punching a woman in the throat, countless ex players behaving inappropriately to females.Swans4ever wrote:Oh FFS give me a break no one watches women in these sports on tv either with netball being the only exception. Even the female soccer gets nothing but crickets no matter how much they try to force it down people's throats!post_hoc wrote:You could add Softball to that list as well.ParraEelsNRL wrote:
Female sports some of I have seen for years on TV in no particular order.
Basketball
Netball
Soccer/Football
Cricket
Rugby League
Rugby Union
Hockey
Touch Rugby League
Rugby League 9's
Rugby Union 7's
And any amount of individual sports or doubles or medleys as in swimming, Tennis and whatnot.
No AFL tho.
Hey wook
Even Camogie (which is the female version of Hurling) is televised in Ireland.
)Ruggers how many national womens comps are there, not just national teams. The AFL has a national team that competes in the international cup, the only difference is crowds and tv. But given we now have that in our national comp it sounds like its just as relevant to Australians. Certainly women playing RU is a good thing (or any other sport for that matter) but everyone getting upset that womens footy appears to be going great is just pathetic.rugby365 wrote: Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:01 amWoman's rugby World Cup 2017

Good to see women's sports getting more exposure regardless of which code it is.
Every country that is listed has their own competition, some national and some just local clubs. But I'm not sure how my post in anyway shows that I'm upset about woman's AFL going well. I was just simply replying to the league post. So calm down mateSwans4ever wrote: Sat Feb 18, 2017 7:58 pmRuggers how many national womens comps are there, not just national teams.

Yeah Rugby Union have definitely set the bar high for womens footy. Especially Rugby 7s.rugby365 wrote: Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:01 amWoman's rugby World Cup 2017

Yeah Rugby definitely dominates League in France at the moment. Needs a lot more grass roots support.ParraEelsNRL wrote: Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:53 pmYeah it is good.
Pity the French didn't send a team, they really need a cleanout, or sorry they just had one but you'd think in the time they'd have been able to get enough money together to send out the womens team, quite sad the state the game is in over there, really needs new blood without any old ties, someone not afraid to rock the boat.
An AFL state of origin concept in the off season would make more sense. I don't know why they don't do it instead. Would get tv coverage, revenue etc..The_Wookie wrote: Sat Feb 18, 2017 11:32 pmJust because a comp isnt televised doesnt make it pretend. 18 separate countries with no Australian nationals in their sides - amateur status doesnt make it any less of an international event. However the AFL must be cognizant of the pretend world cup status because it doesnt even call its even a world cup, but an international cup.NRL&NFLweLaughATafl wrote: Sat Feb 18, 2017 9:04 amWomens teams RLWC
