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.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- While an unorthodox move, Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin figured the best chance to extend the game was to make sure Adrian Beltre didnt end it.Melvin never really anticipated what happened right after intentionally walking Beltre with one out in the 10th inning to reload the bases after Carlos Beltrans tying two-run single for Texas.After the four intended wide pitches to Beltre, reliever Marc Rzepczynski hit Rougned Odor on the shoulder with his next pitch, forcing home the winning run to give the AL-best Rangers a 5-4 victory Tuesday night.I threw one and it ran instead of sank. And it ran right into his shoulder, Rzepczynski said. That sums it up right there.John Axford (4-4) had walked the bases loaded before Beltrans single up the middle. Next was Beltre, who had a game-deciding grand slam in the series opener Monday night.With two lefties coming up, I figured my best shot was to get a ground ball and force a double play, Melvin said.Oakland had tied the game in the ninth off closer Sam Dyson, then took a 4-2 lead in the 10th when Yonder Alonso had an RBI double and scored on Ryon Healys single as five of its first six batters reached against Keone Kela (4-1).Dyson struck out the side, but also gave up three hits and a run for his fourth blown save in 31 chances. The As had been 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position before Danny Valencias two-out RBI single tied the game at 2.Kela, the sixth Texas pitcher, got all three of his outs on strikeouts, between three hits and a walk.The As lost their fourth straight, dropping a season-high 16 games under .500. At 52-68, they are 18 1/2 games behind Texas in the AL West after their 19th loss this season in which they led the game by multiple runs.Axford struck out rookie Nomar Mazara to start the 10th, but walked Robinson Chirinos, pinch-hitter Jonathan Lucroy and All-Star center fielder Ian Desmond in order to set up Beltran.I felt strong. I felt good. Everything was coming out nice. I felt like I had my electric stuff todayy, Axford said.dddddddddddd But I wasnt finding the zone and some of the borderline ones, Im not going to get. Im all over the place, Im not going to get something close.TERRIFIC TRIGGSOakland rookie starter Andrew Triggs limited the Rangers to two hits and one run over 5 2/3 innings in his third career start. The right-hander is in his eighth stint this season with the As, and made his 21st appearance. He struck out two and walked none, but hit Chirinos to start the sixth before he scored on a double by Beltran against reliever Ryan Dull.SHORT HOPSTexas (71-50) has won nine of 13 after its first game-ending hit by pitch with the bases loaded since Sept. 11, 2010, against the New York Yankees. ...
