AFLW announce 'conferences' for 2019

[kruddler]

And we'd be stuck in Division 2
I wonder though ( just being serious for a moment. )
I reckon there would be as much interest in the club even if they were languishing in that second division.
Sponsorship, gate receipts, memberships even broadcast rights would still be strong for all those D2 sides.

Initially, sure.

Long term? No hope.

How many kids are going to grow up supporting Div 2 sides. Especially when they wouldn't get as much (if any) air time by comparison.
