Melbourne Rebels 2024

I know especially in this era of equal opportunity. Blatant sexism

I don’t think it’s sexism but might be RA saving grace… don’t want to pay the wages of professional footballers but happy to pay the wages of professional woman footballers (because they get paid in peanuts)

I was more asking the question - wondering if the rebels had to absorb the expenses of a woman’s rugby team at the same time RA was cutting funds across the board to all the franchises

Equal opportunities run both ways but. It was a piss take labelling it sexist.

A sad, yet what, seemed inevitable day. Hopefully, the Rebels can go out with a bang and win the title. (Or more likely go out with a whimper and lose the next two matches.)

I should be getting used to this feeling. That is three teams now I have been a member of that have folded in the last 12 months. The other two - Collingwood Super Netball and Melbourne Boomers WNBL.

the men’s game would be receiving sweet FA if any of govt assistance

but If I recall correctly
- I remember Albo posing with our female rugby players at a press conference saying they deserve a proper wage.

I wonder if the rebels/SuperW existence might be tied to that funding package in some way

Jeez, might be time to take up gardening, sorry Scooter.

Never knew anyone supported Collingwood in the netball, were you always a Pies fan in the AFL or just a fan of the Netball side?

Can you start supporting the Tahs please? At least some good could come out of things.

Always been a Collingwood AFL fan and been a member for a decade or more. Have been and still am a member of Melbourne Vixens since before Super Netball comp started (in the old ANZ championships). Jumped on board Collingwood netball in addition to Vixens and Collingwood AFL.
