What do you think of the W-League marketing?

[Jeda]

Your kidding yourself Jeda, its got nothing to do with football with Westfield. The girls got a makeover because it suited Westfields marketing angle not the sports, they want to be associated with women's football to get their name out there. If Mattel sponsored the league they would have them looking like Barbie dolls. Womens football in Australia should have its own identity not a different one given to them each time they get a new naming rights sponsor,and they say first impressions count well those posters are the first impressions. Your right they don't look like men playing but they don't look look the women playing either! You like it, I don't, I wont go to watch the games but it's got nothing to do with the posters I would rather watch the mens team and under 14s, 15s lads play. My daughter hasn't been swayed and she would be the "target" group. We can go around in circles here, some people like it some don't, ah! that's life.

that's why your opinion is useless nothing would make you go to a womens legae game by the way, do you know who owns wesfield some guy called frank, has a bit to do with the ffa & growing the game in oz

you stay away, while the game grows through marketing in a few months we'll compare attendance & tv viewing figures oh one last thing, what identity should the league find

you're right, the marketing is all wrong after saturdays game & watching the queensland vsydney game i can see it... WOMENS FOOTBALL - PERFECT ONE DAY, ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING THE NEXT & THE NEXT &...

AU womens team there's no amount of marketing or adverts that will get bums on seats if the game is boring & full of mistakes, get the team sorted & stop the whinging before u kill it

oh one last thing, what identity should the league find

Its own

[billy the kid]

Its got a long way to go before it gets near to where the sensations (and other teams) were back before the WNSL folded. Who's fault is it?

A couple of years ago the discussion was had about the standard and progress of the Womens league here is SA. I think the standard we are seeing across the w-league is symptomatic of the huge drop of standard we have in our game across Oz.
