Bit of a random question - anybody in a league with a 6-team finals system? I checked how it’s supposed to work and the top 2 teams are supposed to have a bye in the first week of the finals, with the remaining 4 playing each other.

Well ours have started but there seem to be 8 teams playing (despite the banner at the top of the screen saying “Top 6 Finals Series”) and no bye for the top 2.

Any ideas folks? Is it perhaps the system glitching because this is nominally the first week of finals for everybody, yet a 6-team finals series only has 3 rounds (not the usual 4) so in actual fact this is just one more home and away round before they start properly next week?

Sorry for the lengthy post. I’ve asked around in the league and nobody seems to know there either.

Nice to see the AFL be whores again, Channel 9 was just under that bid and all 9 games were going to be on free to air across to their sister channels

No doubt ....Also believe Beteasy have approached the AFL to extend their gambling relationship, another 7 years

Gambling, IMO is the biggest indictment on the AFL ......betting is an epidemic, with all of its associated social ills

Yep, I said the same on the AFL Fantasy feedback questionnaire. Piss it off!

Everyday people behind AFLW Fantasy, using lure of fantasy football to grow women's sport​


Despite the name, AFLW Fantasy is not an official competition run by the AFL.

The AFL does run AFL Fantasy (the AFL men's competition) but, after seven seasons, is yet to announce a women's equivalent.

AFLW Fantasy is instead the brainchild of co-creators Selby Lee-Steere and "The Wongster".

Lee-Steere, who lives in Fremantle, is something of a legend in fantasy football circles. He has won AFL (men's) fantasy twice, and came eighth in Supercoach AFL on his first attempt (the two competitions have different scoring and rules, making this an impressive feat).

The Wongster, by comparison, is relatively new to the fantasy world, and is a 51-year-old former bond trader. As is sometimes customary in the fantasy football world, she prefers using a moniker to her real name.

"Plus, when I was a bond trader, that was what people called me, so I actually don't mind it."

The unlikely pair met when The Wongster, who lives in Sydney, went into semi-retirement and decided to study machine learning — a type of artificial intelligence.

She needed a project to complete as part of her study, and with her son an avid fantasy football player, decided to try her hand at building a model that would predict AFL fantasy scores.

In the process, she was introduced to Lee-Steere, and the two would go on to form the team behind Moreira's Magic — a fantasy sport resource site with something of a cult following.

Demand for AFLW Fantasy surging year-on-year​

It was a smart bet.

In its first season, AFLW fantasy garnered around 1,800 team registrations.

In fact, demand was so high that the AFLW fantasy server crashed, forcing Lee-Steere and The Wongster to pour their time into fixing a number of affected teams.

"It was a lot more work than we first expected," Lee-Steere said.

Now in its second season, registrations have doubled again to over 3,850.

Meet the team using the power of fantasy football to grow women's sport

Fantasy football is a $70 billion market that hooks players on their chosen sport. So why are there no official fantasy competitions for women's leagues? The team behind AFLW Fantasy are volunteering their time to change the script.
