Kinnibari Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) One game at AAMI.. 5 at FawknerRound 7 and 13..?Both byes, I'll edit that in.The w-league' shortened season is annoying, it's not very well balanced. We have one derby but Sydney have two, and Canberra United have no games in Melbourne. I actully think our draw is pretty good, considering.Would have liked more games at AAMI before the men. Who is going to turn up at Fawkner?Yeah but casual fans won't necessarily turn up three hours before the men kick off for 5-6 hours of being at the football. And if there's not a big crowd the atmosphere at larger games can be dead. Did you go to Victory v Canberra at Etihad last year? Not good. Plus the grounds are expensive and I feel that money could be better used elsewhere. Edited September 8, 2015 by Kinnibari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Disappointed that there is not at least one match, say at the Bentleigh Greens ground, in the south-east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falastur Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Can someone please explain to me the logic of each team having two byes? I would understand it if, like the A-League etc, it ended up balancing out so every team played the opponents an equal number of times, but the way they've done it they just randomly pick two teams you aren't going to see more than once in the year. I could understand it maybe if there was a busy schedule but there's no time at which teams have to play more than once in a seven day period. Even in England, where the league is derided for only having 8 teams, they still play 14 games plus having two cup competitions (one of which including a 5-round group stage) and yet the season is about as long as the W-League season. Surely it can't be because the FFA doesn't believe women are up to playing that many games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it can't be because the FFA doesn't believe women are up to playing that many games?it seems the FFA is committed to this short W League season, which I'm sure is all about costs. Even with 8 teams you still only had 12 games. now with 9 teams, a bye becomes part of the fixture & I guess they didn't want some teams to have 1 bye and others to have 2.as to playing mid week well Australians aren't used to the concept of mid week football (afl players whinge if they "only" get a 6 day break, softies that they are) & thus attendance would be minimal, which would just add to the financial situation, in addition most of the players are amateurs (not even semi-pro) so travelling interstate mid week every week (remember these teams are long distances apart) would mean they could only work part time, which would surely cause a number of players to immediately retire from this level.
