As the AFLW enters its fourth season, it is apparent the AFL and its commissioners, including Gil McLachlan, is only treating the competition as an exhibition competition. Players and supporters of AFLW deserve better, and girls and women involved in women's football certainly deserve to be treated with greater respect. Now women players are walking away from the AFLPA for their failure to act on basic equity issues in the AFLW. This is simply not good enough, and we demand more than just tokenism to give the impression the AFL are acting in a positive way in promoting the competition. Since AFLW's inception female participation has grown dramatically. This in itself proof that women deserve legitimacy from the highest level in the AFL.
As spectators and players, we demand the AFL act on the following areas:
- A full length season where each team plays each other once, plus a 3 week finals series
- Abolish the conference system, which was proved to be a failure in 2019
- The AFL charge admission for spectators to give members value for money for their membership
- Fair and equitable payment and conditions for AFLW players, and a reason to be professional in their chosen sport.

The silence from the league office has been heavy lately. It is exhausting to keep pushing when they refuse to acknowledge the reality of the situation but I am not walking away from this fight.

They need to get sponsors & supporters need to take out memberships & physically go to the games so they can be paid fairly & equitably It is up to all stakeholders to make it so
The AFLW needs to be properly funded and supported and the players need to be paid a decent salary!
It’s time the AFL took the AFLW competition seriously and shows the players the respect and rewards they deserve.
Expanding the number of teams without expanding the number of games is a joke
Fix it!
Socks up AFL
AFLW has a growing market and should be treated with the respect they deserve.

It is only fair these women get paid fairly for their work and also have a 13 week season! How are they going to improve with an 8 week season? Gil and Nicole have NO respect for these girls and should be found accountable. Not to mention AFLW brings back the joy of going to the football. Not the commercial rubbish going to an AFL game has become. RESPECT THE FEMALE PLAYERS and stop treating them like sh*t!
