Footy on TV 7 nights a week.
I think long term the mens comp will be 7 days a week so potentially not a viable option.
(IE: I see the mens comp going to 20 teams, 19 rounds played every day of the week over 23 weeks with teams getting a game every 8.5 days on average).
Right now the girls filling the gap by commencing when the mens comp has the pre-finals bye and then playing through finals where there are fewer and fewer mens games on isn't the worst idea. Also helps cover the October gap before cricket season really kicks off.
Longer term if they grow to a full season then they will need to find a more natural spot in the calendar but for now I think it makes some sense.
