Finals?
I think this is a good step for the AFL.
Yes, they screwed up by reducing the number of games in the AFLW season, but i think this idea will keep it interesting for more teams.
I've long been an advocate of some kind of conference system within the mens game in a way to eliminate the unfair fixturing problem the AFL has forced upon itself.
I think this is a good way to test the waters of the general public.
Now we just gotta see who we get in our conference. Not sure if i want Collingwood to be in our conference or the other one so we can beat them in the GF....which we couldn't do if we were in the same conference.
Quote:The format of the AFL Women’s competition will be reshaped in 2019, as the AFL announced it will introduce a new conference system.
With Geelong and North Melbourne set to join the league next year, the expanded 10-team competition will play two conferences of five teams. Teams will play four conference games and three cross-over games.
Carlton will find out who will be in its conference when the fixture is released in October.
Finals?
Quote:The two top teams in each conference will contest preliminary finals on the weekend of March 23 – 24. Teams that finish first in each conference will host.
The NAB AFLW Grand Final will be played between the two preliminary-final-winning teams, with the Grand Final host determined by team with greatest number of wins in the home and away season and percentage, if needed.
