The league has stressed that it fully intends for the 2021 AFLW season to proceed. The season is due to commence next February however the league has given a rider that plans are subject to change because of the ongoing challenges related to the coronavirus.
AFL women's chief Nicole Livingstone has met with club captains in recent weeks while the AFL Players Association has also held meetings with club delegates in which possibilities for 2021 have been discussed.The AFLPA has also indicated to players that they will be sent surveys asking them for feedback around what next season could and should look like.
The prospect of female players entering hubs is arguably even more challenging than it has been for men as AFLW players remain semi-professional and therefore have more other commitments with things like study and work.
