AFLW 2024 Rd 6: Carlton vs Port Adelaide in Adelaide

[crashlander]

I read earlier in the week that there are potentially 3 AFLW teams that require top up players due to injuries.

If that doesn't send out alarm bells, then i don't know what does.

Problem is, the AFL can't afford to keep fitting the bill for the moneypit that is AFLW. I
f they changed the list size to 40, it would solve most of their problems with list sizes.
But surely couldn't afford to pay for another 180 players.
The 2025 minimum wage is set to be 67k.
Thats an extra 12mil across the competition!

A rod they've designed for their own back, no doubt. But the issue is not going to go away in a season with so many short breaks designed into it.
