Susan Alberti has bemoaned the delay on a start date for the next AFLW season, saying she would be questioning her future if she was a player
Susan Alberti has bemoaned the delay on a start date for the nextseason, saying she would be questioning her future if she was a player. The former Western Bulldogs vice-president and high-profile women’s football ambassador also wonders whether the 2022-23 season can start in August as planned, given the lack of preparation time.
Alberti wonders if the start date should be pushed back, given that clubs have had to wait weeks for information on the coming season. “It can’t be so difficult that we can’t get our act together and give these women certainty in AFLW,” she said. “It’s only a couple of months to go when it’s supposed to start off again - I don’t know how it’s possible to be able to do this. It needs to be perhaps later in the year.
“For me, it’s always about the culture and from the top, down,” she said. “Women don’t want to be superior, they just want to be treated as equal – that’s all they ask. I want to see more women out there umpiring the big games ... I want to see them out there on the MCG. I want to see 20 more of them.”
