How bout the AFLW forge some new traditions and ideas like the GF replay as the season opener, give everyone a fair go, lets not make it a carbon copy of the mens that remains VFL centric and prioritises profits. Jump on rivalries that are current and genuine to promote the game. The womens game isnt about crowds and maximising profits, why dont they focus on working towards a fair competition. Focus on getting to a 17 game season, play the opp at home one year and away the next.

Not that I'm an expert but I would've thought Adelaide and Brisbane would be the strongest rivalry in AFLW to date?

At the risk of being insensitive, the Crows girls are looking slow and unfit this year.
