What became of the Italian women\\\'s side?

We're all for more money being spent on international footy, although as we always say, the AFL does need to bring with them the public and the clubs and dare I say it the players (major battle over AFL players wanting a fixed slice of the revenue at the moment, could have a very negative impact on Game Development overall if they got what they are asking for publicly). So international spending is rightly growing but not in massive step jump that would jeopardise the whole program.

In the case of the Italian women's side, it was all very complicated and we tried to get to the bottom of it all, and obviously various people have got offside with each other. We've published the above story to give a bit of a window into that but we've decided not to bury down into who said what because at the end of the day it's likely to just inflame everything and all these parties may wish to work together again in future, so hopefully a bit of space and time can help heal a few wounds. I have no doubt that AFL Italia, AFL Femminile Italia, the AFL's game development staff and AFL Switzerland are all working hard to grow the game internationally, things just didn't come together as people expected. Hopefully the bridges are only singed not burnt.
