The sport isn’t ready and will take time
Diluting it with too many teams too early was a big BIG mistake
Truly , as a spectacle it’s a lower quality than a reserves game in the outback

It is so boring it’s not funny. I’ve tried, but it’s as bad as what the a league is now.

Would rather watch paint dry to be fair.

Yep I agree and have said it myself. They're expanding too quick. Would be a better game to watch with half the teams.

I don't even think we should have 18 mens teams ffs

The soon-to-be-confirmed length of future AFLW seasons:

2024: 11 home & away games (potentially 12, pending 2023 crowds) + finals

2025: 12 H & A games + finals

2026-28: Min 12 H & A games, max 14. Dependent on key metrics (crowds, broadcast audience etc) + finals.
