Congratulations to Adelaide for winning the AFLW Grand Final.

Without a doubt it was one of the most decisive drubbings of a second rate side in Carlton who should not have been there in the first place. 

The disastrous 2019 conference system was all there to be seen after Adelaide were able to beat the two top sides in B division by over  10 goals and 7 goals respectively. 

That's not a finals series and only served to debase the efforts of better sides in the competition.

Gil is lucky there are other things going on in the media at the moment, so the scribes have completely missed this debacle.

The media is besotted with a superstar Erin Phillips snd the rest of it has been forgotten

Richmond are building a strong list so presumably they'll end up in Conference A, and they'll dump Gold Coast and St Kilda in Conference B so that the AFL favourites (Carlton & Collingwood) can get a few more easy wins.

I hope the Demon faithful continue to get behind our womens team this year, the game has a long way to develop but you've got to start somewhere.

Just on this conference style, the AFL have to be very careful that they don't differentiate the way the game and season is played between the mens and womens game otherwise I fear it could go a similar way to AFLX. I think it was a massive mistake by the AFL to expand the amount of teams, much better to have less teams, with a proper season of playing each other, and a more concentrated pool of talent than to expand and create this weird conference system that just seems to have unfair written all over it.
