AFLW 'Conference' Fixture for 2019

In a nutshell.  Five teams per 'Conference'.  Then:

 

Then the top two teams in each conference host the second-placed sides in the other conference, with the winners playing off in the Grand Final.

Not ideal as each team does not play all other teams at least once.  But I think it is a big improvement of the initial proposal so expertly critiqued as 'gimmicky', by Daisy.

And having a 'Finals Series' is far better than the sudden death we have now with the two top teams playing off in the GF.

    THE 2019 NAB AFL Women's season will be played using a conference system, with the 10 teams divided into two groups of five.

    Each team will play seven home and away games, with the season starting on the first weekend of February. The season will also feature two weeks of finals, with the Grand Final to be held on the last weekend of March, coinciding with round two of the AFL season.

    Teams will play the four other teams in their own conference, plus three teams from the other conference in a ‘weighted’ arrangement.

    The format will allow for one of the three so-called ‘crossover’ games to be based on a rivalry.

    What a farce this league is becoming. The AFL has completely mismanaged it right from the ridiculous lockout in the first game. They don’t understand the aflw’s market (and that it is quite different to the afl’s)

    And what's their plan for 2019? 2020? I guess they'll probably make that up as they go along as well.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
