AFLW announce 'conferences' for 2019

[Lods]

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.

But isn't our geographical situation and the team/city make-up one that doesn't suit conferencing.

We cant have a Victorian conference and a Rest of Australia conference. That would mean a league that travels all the time and one that doesn't travel at all.

Split the Victorian teams and it's goodbye to some traditional rivalries.

I just cant see the point to having conferences....but you might have a better understanding of how it would work and could show a makeup.
