SEASON LENGTH
2024 will be an 11-round H&A season.
WHO GETS SIX HOME GAMES, AND WHO GETS FIVE?
This will be one of those issues. The kind of issue that people complain about a lot as if it's the first time something has happened. But uneven home games aren't a new thing in AFLW. The first 3...
Wow some insightful insights from the latest AFLW Footwear Report...
Hmm interesting...
I had a feeling this was the case...
Woah I'm intrigued...
Fascinating stuff...
Amazing!
ROAD TO THE GRAND FINAL
North Melb.
Conceded the fewest points of any team this year, by quite a way. Exceptional ball-winning stats from the midfield. Very flaky forward-line.
R1: beat STK by 40
R2: beat CAR by 60
R3: beat GEE by 9
R4: lost to BL by 2
R5: beat GWS by 30
R6: beat FRE by 45
R7...
You mean the women's teams that average 5k members, and single sponsorships are worth up to at least $500,000 per year? While things like TPP, flights + accommodation, and ground hire are covered by the league?
Still can't work out why a bunch of previously uninterested clubs suddenly did a 180...

A mixed bag of matchups this weekend. Varying from the likely slaughters of NM-PA and WCE-Melb, to some potential rippers (Rich-Ess, Carl-Coll, Syd-Haw).
Then we have your StK-GWS, Geel-Frem and GC-BL games in which the higher-ranked teams should win somewhat comfortably... but then you...

I'm calling it Last Chance Round. Or maybe Do Over Round. Something like that.
There could be a bit of juice in the Carlton-Richmond game. And if you're desperate to find a reason to back GWS, well, they did beat Adelaide in 2020 without Alicia Eva (who will miss this week, suspended for a...
Seven are doing Melb-WB on Saturday, then StK-PA and WCE-Carl on Sunday. Swap outs for local teams outside of Victoria.
Other than that Dees vs Dogs game, it's set up to be quite an intriguing round. Even the Lions vs Swans & the Crows vs Bombers should at least provide some answers about where...
Seven are doing the Swans-Cats (on 7mate), then Pies-Freo and Bombers-Saints (on 7 in VIC, 7mate elsewhere). Usual swap outs for local teams outside of Victoria.
Great to be here, alive and well to talk about football on this football forum. And this thread is about the BEST kind of football: Round 1 AFLW action, omg.
Channel 7 are covering the Friday night and Saturday night games, along with North Melb. v St Kilda and Brisbane v Richmond on Sunday...

I would like to see everybody's predictions for the following, please:
Premiers
League B&F
Rising Star
Leading Goalkicker
Also have a crack at the ladder after the H&A season if you dare, and perhaps a Player To Watch (like somebody in their 20s who could break through for their 1st...
New system for 2023 ICYMI: 4 points for an AFL H&A win, 8 points for an AFLW H&A win. Club with the most points at the end of the year wins the McClelland Trophy, and $1 million shared between players and club.
Looking like it's down to a four-horse race:
Collingwood way out in front early...
THE CONCEPT
Scenario: The whole competition is starting over with a national draft for all players and all 18 clubs. If every list manager makes the right move (correctly weighing up potential with the need for experience, and forming judgments based on what players have shown at AFLW level) I...
Fixture news/predictions/ideas for the 2023 AFLW season.
Start date
First round of the H&A season will take place on the weekend of Saturday, 2 September.
Number of games
In ongoing negotiations, the AFL's starting position is 10 H&A games per team, while the AFLPA's is 12. So I would guess...
Nobody has posted on this particular board within the last week.
I'm still a fair way off finishing the words for my next MVP list (the list itself was completed 5 months ago).
And nowadays every second conversation regarding any given sport must be reduced to a fight over a certain four-letter...

One hour until the first game of Round 3 so, I dunno, let's start a thread for it maybe sorta kinda!
Free-to-air television details go a little something like this:
(EDIT: It occurs to me that the games originally scheduled for Seven's main channel will probably be moved to 7mate due to...
