Just for clarification...
AFLW is the national women's Australian rules football competition.
WAFL is the West Australian Football League, WA's state league for Australian Rules Football.


To answer your question... In terms of how much they get paid to broadcast the league, no. AFLW gets $2.5 million per year. But that's on Channel 7, with all of the cross-media coverage and promotion that goes with it.
I dare say that your average punter who doesn't specifically follow either sport is more likely to know when a AFLW match is on than know when a W-League or even an A-League match is.

Compared to women soccer players (different games i know) skills are night and day....pick up the ball FFA ffs

They get ludicrous funding and sponsorship - lots becaus eit;s PC to do so.

The more that's been put in $ wise the more it's fallen. From round one in the beginning crowds and viewers have waned. I can't see them charging ppl as the drop off would be huge 

when you have viwers in the 100s outside of melbourne it tells you everything you need to know.

AFLW is probly the worst game i have ever seen.  The skills are so bad.

It is amazing they get the crowds and ratings that they do.

So we have deadshits running Brazil but atleast they ain't snowflakes like we have here in Australia
I have not seen one wog been selected prime minster in Australia. It's always Anglos I'm lucky Brazil wasn't found by Anglos.

Or they play in smaller stadiums? The adelaide v bulldogs game had 7,800 something but looked full. Hindmarsh had a few hundred less at the same time.

Brazil a beutiful country, people say it's bad and. That you'll get robbed your more Lilley to get robbed in the cbd of rio than in the favelas
But tbh nothing will take over Brazil's love for football I hope the many Brazilians who are residing and coming to Australia can bring that culture here. My uncle just got his citizenship down in Blacktown and he is black but he doesn't want to be described as an African more like a negro if anyone calls him African he denies it lol

Does anyone know why they only play one quarter in WAFL games?

Does the WAFL have a better TV deal then the A-League?.

that highlights people outside of melbourne don't really care 

There has been no professional AFL game anywhere in the world for 4 months, the AFL  fans must be gagging for some action.

Last time 3 games were in Melbourne and 1 in Adeliade

This time 1 game in Melbourne (on a 40 degree day), 1 in Adelaide, 1 in Geelong, 1 in Tassie and 1 in Brisbane.

Attendances down, but the drop isn't like for like.

Femski......yes dead shits running this country but I think you'll find deadshits running Brazil and Italy too.

36% drop in attendance is pretty big for opening round and how much press they get

In the previous years they would start off with carlton v collingwood which i think would get around 24k...cant really judge it until the end as they have held off throwing the bigger games in round 1

To be honest, I'm pretty surprised by this.
Yes, it's only the first round, but ...

Both WSW and SFC are playing at temporary home grounds at the moment so its hardly fair to be comparing combined attendances this season or for the two seasons before this because WSW has played at its home ground for 3 seasons now.

It’s hilarious seeing the afl fans saying there were more goals in the a league in some games then In aflw

Lol regarding the gang problem that was pretty out of no where 

Ok ill move to blacktown and get stabbed there? 

Im sure Western Sydney has a footballing culture due to the fact more people play football in NSW then Melbourne but the proof is in the pudding Socceroos and HAL Melbourne attendance is 'significantly' better 

Even if you combine City and Victory to WSW and SFC this season Melbourne still have better attendance. 

Im not defending AFL but Greater Western Sydney Giants averaged 13k last session were as WSW averaged 12k.... heart least of football but there AFL side gets better crowds? 

Afl is an embarrassment to Australia China doesnt want it
But tbh I have a mate who lives in Melbourne and he says that football is big but not as big as it is in western Sydney. West Sydney is the heartland of football that's what he told me he said its big in Melbourne but not as big as it is in west Sydney.

Melbourne got its own problems maybe they should fix their African gang problem like we did here in Sydney

-I live in melbourne 

I have seen more more marketing in the 2 weeks leading up to the AFLW then the enter history of the HAL and W-league combined...

yet MVFC has the biggest crowds year in and year out? 

there are more actually football fans in Victoria then any other state the crowds both the HAL and Socceroos kills any other states attendance  the problem is most of those fans follow AFL as well due to the massive push in the media to support it and massive push AGAINST football 

I was confused by this claim also but I think the unscreened games can be streamed form their website

Went to Dorrien Gardens (Perth Italia) on Friday for a sundowner game between WLeague teams Perth Glory and Melbourne Victory, great night and game as well.
The standard in womens football (soccer) is great to see especially with each team allowed up to 3-4 imports. The grandstand was full and every part of the perimeter fence was taken (standing room) Foxtel promised to telecast every game live but they don't and this one wasn't either. Tuned into fox this morning and they're showing every AFLW game live one after the other, and very convenient of them to start their season while WLeague finals are about to commence.

@bottega

Hundreds as in 235 viewers in NSW not 235,000

Airfare ain't cheap and I'm happy staying in western Sydney I'm born here why would I move Brazil and Australia are practically the same we both wear thongs our countries are hot as Fuck and we both have chocolate cigarettes snacks hehe both coat ores have huge tourist attractions rio Copacabana and Sydney harbour and Bondi. And we both love our sport, Meh may aswell live in both countries...😂

So you're staying in this "dumbfuck" country because you're too broke to afford tickets to move to Brazil or Italy? And this country is a "dumbfuck"??

I'm born here lol but I have a italian passport and Brazilian one aswell so.... Only reason I Called this country ' dumbfuck' is because of the people running it and because of the afl and cricket loving tossers that give football no respect. As I said I could happily go back to Brazil or Italy but I don't intend too. As I'm not in the financial status or situation to do so.

Maybe you should reconsider staying in this dumbfuck country?
