Why the AFL NEEDS to have this in the mens off-season is something i don't understand.
That being said, there is a lot more to the off-season than just 8 weeks of footy leading up to the mens season.
Have some games in Nov-Dec and have a extended break over xmas/new years and come back in Jan-feb if you want.
Pretty sure the VFLW has restrictions on how many AFLW listed players can play in the side at any one time. So these 'elite AFLW athletes' are getting less games than the those running around in the VFLW...possibly only half as many games. How does that work?
The AFL had such a good start with this comp in its first year. It held relatively firm in its second year and was set for expansion in 2019 and 2020....yet it appears to have lost interest in it for some reason. As 6 weeks is just bollocks.
