AFLW announce 'conferences' for 2019

[kruddler]

Yep....the W was noticed....the post was  in response to you "long advocating it (conferencing) for the men's competition".

I'm all for things that improve the game.
I'm all for things that equalise the game as long as they're not too contrived.

I'm less of a fan of the draft as years go by.
Free Agency is a 'genie out of the bottle' and is going to need some major work to put it back in.
Conferencing is pointless when half of the clubs are located in one city.

I don't care much for gimmicky things that don't add to the game.

(and as sure as three feet make a yard...imperial beats metric every time ;D)

You say pointless, i say that can be one of the major reasons to have conferences.

Conferences and divisions generally group teams who are geographically similar. The advantage of that system is to create an untainted draw.
