Georgina Hibberd @georgh.bsky.social · 04/11/2025You make some great points and I agree. While no one cares about poor performances, it's easier to dismiss the league. I know I have withdrawn my interest due to frustration (and self preservation). Why commit when the club doesn't appear to? 020
Georgina Hibberd @georgh.bsky.social · 04/11/2025"...what decade (yes, I said decade) will it be, when an AFL club has a men’s team that is doing well, but a women’s team that is doing very poorly, and the powerful coteries make a move to sack their club’s board because of the poor performance of the women’s team?"
