They did pretty well, really good football to watch. Though their defense could go a bit wonky at times. There is talk of potentially a women’s A-League, maybe even next year, which would be awesome. People would definitely watch them, I could see them getting just as much support (if not more) as the netball. I guess that would be sport to learn from, they’re the most successful women’s sporting league in Australia.

A Melbourne team could play at Olympic park, especially now that it’s too small for Melbourne Victory. The Victory fans would adopt the women’s team as their own. There wouldn’t be a split in the fanbase like there would be if they add an extra Melbourne men’s team.

Starting an 8 team women’s league could coincide well with the expansion of the men’s league beyond 8 teams.
