Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!

Glad they got a women's side and sticking up for approx 80% of their own team, whilst St Kilda, who pioneered the Pride games well before any survey forms were mailed out and activily say "yes" missed out.
Great stuff.

Another reason we are the irrelevant club. The AFL doesn't care about us. We'll be the Gold Coast Saints within five years.

Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
The AFL is only endorsing "yes" and pushing for AFL-W as they get Government Grants/Tax benefits for employing women and LGTBI's. Think about it. For years the Aussie Rules crew called soccer a game for sheilas, wogs and pooooovters. Now the AFL promotes women's sport as if they invented it.saintspremiers wrote:http://cfcblu.es/StatementSep20

Oh well, each to their own.
USELESS FACT: The WADA case against Essendon (in Sydney as well) is exactly 10 years to the day that Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
No Rushie, the AFL supports the yes campaign, gender equality, non-discrimination and inclusiveness because it is the right thing to do. The Saints are an inclusive footy club and I am proud of them for taking a stand on social issues. Like the AFL, the Saints have in the past made mistakes, but that is no reason to not do the right thing now.IanRush wrote:The AFL is only endorsing "yes" and pushing for AFL-W as they get Government Grants/Tax benefits for employing women and LGTBI's.

2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn
Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
I'm with you on this one Merchant. Sport in Australia is a perfect platform for change. AFL impacts millions of people and I'm proud that i support a club that goes we support human equality. Just goes to show its typical carlscum though.

Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
I can't think of one good reason we missed out on an AFLW's licence, LL. Given we've been a leader on social issues, have a strong presence in the bayside, which has the greatest number of female players and having a successful "feeder" club in the St.Kilda Sharks, it beggars belief that Carlton got one ahead of us. Even if you just take geography into account, it makes no sense.
I think you're pretty tough, don't I?

No good reason but Mrs M. Murphy and a notorious issue a few years ago come to mind as possibilities.

Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
Call me cynical, but the AFLW is all about promoting the Men's brand through improving the perceived reputation of the AFL as that's where the money is.
While I'm not a fan of the AFLW, I'm not against it either but.....
by commercialising women's football, the AFL has probably wrecked what was previously a bona fide community grassroots movement. The AFL will ditch it as soon as it suits them.

Have you watched any of it? Crap football. My 11 year old grandson's team plays a more attractive and skilled game.

Re: Carlton's AFLW team lesbian-free......just in case!
I actually find women's tennis more entertaining than the men's. It's best out of the 3 sets and there are more rallies. Not to mention there is the occasional babe to watch and they generally seem more humble than the douchebags on the men's circuit.saynta wrote:Hard to answer. Probably not though.

You may not find them physically attractive, but you cannot deny they play a very attractive brand of tennis. They'll both go down in history as the greatest siblings to play the game.saynta wrote:To each his own mate. I don't find either of the Williams sisters in the least bit attractive.
