‘Players deserve better’: Why AFLW needs a ‘reset’ ahead of Season 10 amid call for ‘10-year plan’ to be developed
But the crammed nature of the season has put players and teams under the pump, with a lengthy injury toll forcing some clubs to dip into a ‘top-up’ pool to field a full side.

“And then they need to feature double-headers with men’s. You look back at how the Women’s Big Bash was born, that’s how it gained momentum. It’s cheaper for broadcasters because you’re at the same venue, you get more eyeballs on and eventually you might get 10,000 to 20,000 rocking up at half-time for a women’s game to see.
“The AFL own Marvel and I’d love to see them use Marvel more often, for things like triple-headers. If there’s no men’s game on a Sunday afternoon, put three in a row.
