Women’s National AFL Competition by 2017 A Possibility

Authored by: Brett Northey

I first heard of the national Women's AFL concept for 2020 in an article by our own Tobie Rhyman but in 2011 in The Future of Women’s Football in Australia.

I always feared it might drift out beyond 2020 so it's exciting to hear from the AFL that it won't drift and may even occur earlier.

As a South Australian I can only hope that it accelerates things here. To be fair there has been some promising growth in the women's and girls' teams in recent years and attempts to set a positive path forward, but the bottom line remains that for a traditional football state, often regarded as second only to Victoria in strength, SA is well behind in developing the female side of the sport. But again, growing to 11 senior sides scheduled for 2015 is a sign that things are changing. Although only 6 under 18s and 4 under 15s teams I suspect pales compared with Victoria, WA and even QLD.---
