17 AFLW GAMES IN 2026

Giving women just 12 regular season games in 2025 was a blatant failure by the AFL to allow the girls to be fully functioning professionals. There needs to be a strong commitment on all sides for a 17 game season for the women starting in 2026.

DEAR MICK STINEAR AND PLAYERS,

Does this rewrite of It’s A Grand Old Flag represent what you stand for? Would you sing it?

“Its a home grown game. Its a great Aussie game

with fairness for me and for you.

And the fairness of this game we love

is famed in the red and the blue.

Every hearts beats true for the red and the blue.

We sing this song to you:

no gender gap is what we want !!!!

Keep your eyes on the red and the blue.”
