The Australian summer: beaches, barbecues, cricket and the Australian Open. And to top it off the AFLW season kicks off on Friday.but find it a hassle getting to the games. Car parks are hard to come by, and during COVID-19 times, it’s a risk to take public transport.In Victoria, we’ve been starved of live sport, footy in particular, over the past two seasons, so what’s an easier alternative than going to a BBL game? Well, an AFLW match, of course.
For the nostalgic supporters, playing at these grounds brings back memories from when they were a kid and idolising the likes of Madden, Lockett, Dunstall or Kernahan.It’s affordable, with tickets $10 for adults, half the price of a Big Bash game and free for kids under 18. Plus, games are short, so if your attention span is like mine it’s the perfect substitution for a Big Bash game or an Australian Open match, which can often finish late.The AFLW crowds are more friendly and welcoming.
And although the AFLW season is in the middle of summer, bringing its own challenges, the warmer weather is far better than a miserable rainy night game at the ’G, in the middle of winter. Wearing shorts and singlet to a game of footy, now that’s my idea of heaven.
No, aleaguewomen is much better with world recognised national and international players.
Best show in town? Your kidding !!!!!
