I don't really follow the AFLW, but my observations/understandings are:
- AFLW is scheduled when it is, as there aren't enough players to support both AFLW and VFLW
- When the players are fresh (ie sufficient breaks between games), the standard is improving
- At a local junior level, the standard is definitely improving
- The schedule of their season is ridiculous and I struggle to see how it caters for anyone: Mid week games during school term with short breaks between the games - who wants to go to 3 games in 15 days?
- The short breaks surely mean that the players are still fatigued and that has a compounding effect, which lowers the skill level
- Is this schedule impacting the number of injuries - they seem to get a lot
- Players need to be paid an amount to give them incentive to play - up to AFLW to sort out how this works.
- Now that footy grounds are needed for cricket, this means that they need to play on 'more obscure' grounds - does a WB fan want to go to Casey Fields on a windy Tuesday night?
This is more the AFL/AFLWs doing.
