Heard it was because North objected, all other clubs ok with it.
A good decision.
If that's the case, then it's a feather in our cap. I mean, look at it.Heard it was because North objected, all other clubs ok with it.

Sad for her if this is true
Just a minor knee strain. She will be right for round 1
I've seen reports it's 2.5mil a year and 2.5mil for the 4 years.Latest on tv deal:
the deal is worth close to $2.5 million a season.

Does the AFL have an official statement?
I have seen $200k per year, but I still have not seen anything official. The shortness of the season is making me worried it will not be $2.5mill per year. That works out a lot per week.I would hope Jake Niall is correct, and it's per season (which is already small enough).
Works out at about $70K per round, which is disappointing, but $2.5 mill for such a short season would have bee a lot.geez, if it's only $500k per annum, that's pretty disappointing, less than the salaries of one club
Daisy Pearce & Tim Watson are predicting an "explosion" in average AFLW skill levels in the next few years, due to the elite training & the female Academies.
Hope you're not going by the irrelevant CTM scale.You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that the standard will rise. It's a 2/10 atm so going to a 3/10 isn't that great a prediction
Being a St Kilda supporter watching a game with a 2/10 skill level would be a step up wouldn't it?You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that the standard will rise. It's a 2/10 atm so going to a 3/10 isn't that great a prediction
(1) Nicole Livingstone enunciates the issues for expanding the AFLW (from 14 teams in 2020) to 18 teams sometime after 2020: primarily, safety of the players, time required to reach an appropriate overall skill standard, & "financial stability".

(3) D. Pearce states that the AFLW is creating an huge boom in female AF participant nos. since 2017.
It is for this short & long term strategic reason (ie health of the code/maintaining its primacy over other codes, as Australia has the world's most competitive sports' environment)) that the AFL:-.
. regards the AFLW as an investment by the AFL in GR AF.
. considers AFLW players should receive a pay rise- & not be bound purely by the traditional male metrics of TV ratings & crowd nos.
. "enter AFLW...(in 2017, booming female player nos.- my words) obviously continue to pump money into the game".
The AFL is showing great vision by this approach...long overdue for female AF!

They're allowed to play in the early stages. I am not sure if their even is an official cut off stage. They are also treated like a long term injury, with a top up player allowed.Seeing as Daisy Pearce is 31 weeks preggers.
If the womens league was a fair bit longer than it is currently how would a club handle a pregnant players contract if they were to be pregnant during the season. (I would assume that once they find out they are pregnant they would not risk the contact from an actual game)
Would it be treated as a 9~ month injury?
