Not sureGil on AFL360 said earlier this week the crowd numbers and tv audiences have increased again this year and they will continue to top up financially and grow AFLW.
Fox are about to introduce a dedicated Womens sport channel so i'd be surprised if they'd do that and not include AFLW.
Gil is talking garbage many of the games haven’t had a 1000 people to them!!Google Aflw crowds it’s all there.Gil on AFL360 said earlier this week the crowd numbers and tv audiences have increased again this year and they will continue to top up financially and grow AFLW.

Which ones are we talking about: the sellouts at Punt Road, the matches played in heavy rain, or the afternoon weekday games?
Some women's teams are generating over $1.5 million in revenue.
If the AFL think that's a problem, they'll structure the women's season in the future so that it doesn't overlap with the men's. If they don't think it's a problem, then... what's the problem?
Funny not a problem?Even one of its coaches and biggest supporters Daniel Hartford conceded as much on radio this morning that it has lost momentum. Season needs to not over lap men’s.The cost to the Afl won’t go away and will eventually become a problem as the now defunct Canadian woman’s hockey league found out.
What exactly did G. McLachlan say?

Do you have any accurate figures for the average AFLW FTA ratings in 2021-& Foxtel?
What exactly did Harford say?
Also saves their arse in the event of sudden border closures and lockdowns. Given broadcasters need to save every penny they can, surprised they didn't start doing this earlier and just have one local to run the boundary.
Whether it loses exposure as a result of overlapping with the men's season isn't a point of contention. However, if you're only concerned about operational costs, you'd actually be in favour of more women's games played as a curtain-raisers to the men's season. That would be a big short-sighted mistake but, from what I've gathered, a lot of AFLW supporters actually want this which I find quite baffling.
The TV ratings certainly increased this year across the first 7 AFLW rounds. Just as they were certainly slashed by 50-75% on the weekend just gone, though it was nevertheless the highest-rating Round 8 in AFLW history.
Melon?Really keyboard warrior!!
One of the other presenters of the show(white his surname )bought up that the season had lost momentum and Hartford agreed .Hartford said he wasn’t sure what the solution was but maybe an earlier season start.What exactly did G. McLachlan say?
The AFLW crowds are certainly down this year, which is unfortunate as the skill standard has again increased- & c.70-80% of games are great to watch.

List of recent AFLW results and scores, including attendance figures.
Crowds are the lowest since 2017. From 2017-2019 seasons, crowds averaged c. 6000 per game.
Despite the introduction of big WC & RFC, the $10 entry may have been a factor?
Covid concerns don't appear to be a big problem for AFL crowds in 2021- but appear, from Rd.1 crowds in some games, covid still has a negative effect on crowds (AFL Rd.1 27,562 average crowd is low- but capacity constraints, & rain in Sydney & Brisbane).
Do you have any accurate figures for the average AFLW FTA ratings in 2021-& Foxtel?
Have they certainly increased, cf 2020? (The skills are better, scoring is ok- in fine conditions- so they should be).
It is irresponsible for the AFL to have AFLW games after the AFL season starts- every year since 2017, crowds, ratings, & MSM interest plummet.
To foster & maximise support for the AFLW, all games must have clear air- & be completed before the AFL season starts.

It's constantly being looked at. Such as in June 2020:

Stop lying. 98% of AFLW players voted in favour of the last CBA.
No choice in a pandemic to vote otherwise !!Afl just lost 23 million not sure a big rise was in store for Aflw
The vote occurred in October 2019, oops !!
I will comment on whatever I want you give it a rest.It's constantly being looked at. Such as in June 2020:
AFL - News, Fixtures, Scores & Results - AFL.com.au
Australian Football League. All the latest AFL news, video, results and information
So give it a rest. Changes to the season timing/structure might be made to maximise viewership in the future. If you want to get into the specifics about that, I strongly recommend this thread.
Maybe so but they were whinging about the wages before the season started !!oops
Point of the thread is to say "derrr i fink da league won't last". But it's the thread that won't last, just like this one:
www.bigfooty.com
Another blatant lie.
The CBA which ensured most players went from earning $13,000 to $20,000 in the space of four years, yes. I have a feeling the AFL can cope with these "big" increases.
