I listened to the “break away” AFLW players’ lawyer on the wireless today. She was very cagey about how many players she was representing so it’s hard to know whether it’s 5 or >50. Either way, it’s not really clear how their log of claims differs from those players who are happy to be represented by the AFLPA.
The lawyer did say that her clients wanted a longer season and more certainty about fixturing. It’s understandable that players want certainty so that they can juggle other commitments with the AFLW season.
It is a joke that AFLW players don’t yet know when their pre-season training is meant to start. After such a promising start, the AFL seems to have dragged the AFLW down to mediocrity as far as industrial relations goes.
