AFLW players still don't have clarity on when they will begin pre-season training, despite the AFL confirming an August start date to next season.
AFLW players are waiting for the AFL and AFLPA to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement
Collingwood's Sarah Rowe, who is from Ireland and is back home in the off-season, appealed to the league on Tuesday morning to provide some certainty. Rowe's tweet was replied to and shared by several other players, including Adelaide star Ebony Marinoff and Melbourne forward Tayla Harris. Reports have suggested the league is close to signing off on the next AFLW CBA, which is expected to deliver significant league-wide pay rises."With the AFL's decision to bring AFLW season seven to an August start date, certainty for players ahead of this coming season is critical," an AFLPA spokesperson said.
