“It has truly been a unique year – two seasons, a new CBA, four new clubs, we took matches to places we have never been before and with it came new fans, more members and more people engaged in our competition than ever before.” AFL EGM Customer and Commercial Kylie Rogers said.

“We have a great, great competition, one that is going from strength to strength and on behalf of the AFL we thank every single person that watched, attended, and bought a membership to support their club.

“The passion for AFLW on and off the field is unmatched in national women’s sport competitions across the country. This passion is a powerful tool, and we must continue to harness it for good and celebrate the difference, the uniqueness and the joy that is AFLW football.”
