Is the AFLW being set up to fail? And where’s the Comm Games hype?

The World Cup is over but the memes live on, and we're already counting down to the Women's World Cup in Brazil next year - what can we expect from our Matildas? The Commonwealth Games are underway; how are our athletes faring? And there are new rules around the TV coverage designed to stop the over-sexualisation of female athletes on broadcasts. What's happened exactly and why did it take this long?

Plus, a debate that lit up the comments section: is the AFLW being set up to fail? Why is the NRLW racing ahead, and is the AFL's approach to women's football helping or hurting the competition? And why isn't a sold-out stadium a success story? Also on the agenda:

• The sports stars making us believe in romance again
• Chloe Kim's very reasonable request for fans taking selfies
• Ninja Warrior is about to change forever - what's happening?
