Aasta OConnor reckons shell be retired by the time the AFL womens league turns professional.But the Western Bulldogs star says theres no limit on what the next generation of female footballers can achieve as the fledgling competition prepares for its first season.The AFL on Thursday unveiled a revamped pay deal for the leagues participants following a backlash against the original offer.The minimum wage for players covering a 22-week period - which includes seven rounds of home and away games and the grand final - has been lifted by 70 per cent from $5000 to $8500 in 2017.Its still a far-cry from the lucrative packages on offer to the nations elite netballers, who are subject to 12-month contracts, are covered by private health insurance and earn a minimum wage of $27,375.But OConnor hopes the deal sets the ground for a competition which will survive and thrive well into the future.It has to be sustainable, she said.Id hate for a 10-year-old girl in eight years time, when shes eligible for the draft, for the AFL not to exist. I understand we start somewhere and build up.I think it was back in the mid-90s that the male players were still part-time and had jobs outside of football. Look where they are now.I think its going to get to a professional full-time space and I look forward to that. Ill probably be too old - Im just the right side of 30 - but (hopefully) opportunities exist for people after their careers are finished on the field as well.Priority signings and top draft picks will earn $12,000, up from $10,000, while the 16 marquee players also get a $2000 increase to $27,000 under the improved deal nutted out between the AFL and the players association.The deal also covers football boots and runners, an interstate travel allowance, income protection insurance, out-of-pocket medical expenses and childcare for mothers of infants.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Mark Fox and his players understand another NIT berth wont be enough for this Georgia team.Fox has built a winning program with three straight 20-win seasons and three straight winning records in Southeastern Conference games. But his only NCAA Tournament appearances with Georgia came in 2011 and 2015. He has sufficient talent and depth on his roster to add a 2017 NCAA berth to that list.No one rises to low expectations, Fox said. I think you should expect yourself to be successful. ... We really dont spend a lot of time on outside opinions, but I think internally these kids expect to have a solid team. Thats a good attitude to have in your locker room.Asked about Fox after a 20-14 finish and second-round NIT loss last season, athletic director Greg McGarity said he remained confident the program was on the rise under the coach. Otherwise there would be a different story line, McGarity said.Georgia was picked fourth in the SEC this month by a media panel, and senior guard J.J. Frazier made the preseason All-SEC team. Frazier is the SECs leading returning scorer, at 16.9 points per game. Forward Yante Maten averaged 16.5 points. Matens 8.0 rebounds per game rank second among the leagues returning players.Thats a nice foundation for a team which must replace longtime starters Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines.Fraziers leadership adds strength to that foundation.We probably have the best leadership weve had since Ive been at Georgia, Fox said. J.J. Frazier is a natural leader. I think hes now experienced enough to know exactly what we want to do. Usually what he says is what they need to hear. He really cares about winning and playing the game the right way.---Some other things to know about Georgias 2016-17 season:RUST REMOVED: After missing last season which recovering froom an Achilles tendon injury, guard Juwan Parker used Georgias preseason summer tour of Spain to regain his game form.dddddddddddd He was able to knock some rust off, Fox said. Parker earned a starting job two years ago before the injury, and could be the favorite to start on the wing this season.LANDERS KEYS: Forwards Derek Ogbeide (6-8, 245) and Mike Edwards (6-9, 225) showed potential but lacked consistency as freshmen last season. Ogbeide, a strong rebounder, ended the season as a starter. Fox said former Georgia womens coach Andy Landers says the sophomores are his possible keys to the season. Fox said his good friend Landers has attended a couple practices and even joined the trip to Spain. Andy keeps saying if those guys who were freshmen last year take a step forward, you guys have a chance to have a very good team, Fox said. I think theres a lot of truth to that.MORE THAN A SHOOTER: Frazier is best known as a 3-point shooter, a skill which overshadows his all-around play. He ranked among the SECs top 10 leaders in eight categories last season, the most of any player, including assists, steals and free throws. Listed at 5-10, 155 pounds, Frazier was third on the team with 4.6 rebounds per game.NOT FORGOTTEN: Georgia returns eight of its top 10 scorers from last season, but the missing two were important. Gaines and Mann combined to average 24.1 points last season. I think we lost a lot more than people realize, Fox said.BARCELONA BULLDOGS: Georgia was 3-0 on its Spain trip. Fox said the practice time was valuable but also important was the camaraderie that is established or strengthened.---Online:AP College Basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
