Would that be equality, denying the ladies of their own special day in the sun?

We won't get much a pre-season into all the kids we're going to get to replace all the traitors who have left. We already had a really young team, now it is going to be much younger still.
Ten home and away games followed by four weeks of finals. List managers and coaches will have their skates on.
In other news, our Kez was providing special comments on the wireless last weekend and was referred to as Kerryn Peterson. I’m not sure if she married Joel recently or has just changed her surname.

Classic examples of the timing of this year's AFLW "second season within a year" causing dramas on the weekend with ovals and availability etc.
If you're going to use grounds that are traditionally used for cricket or other sports (at the cessation of the usual lower league finals in late August early September) there's going to be issues.
Ruckman slipping on centre block areas that are being changed over to cricket, and semi-professional cricket clubs trying to prepare on bog heaps or grounds with delayed preparations. No winners in this.
