Hawthorn have finally brought the number 1 back and given it to Harry Morrison, which I think is a good choice.

ALL 38 matches of next year's NAB AFL Women's competition will be shown live on television, with the Seven Network and Foxtel to share the coverage.

Seven will broadcast two games a round in every state and territory, plus all the non-Victorian clubs' matches into their respective local markets, on free-to-air television, with Foxtel to air every AFLW game live via its subscription service.

From 2020 – when the competition expands to 14 teams – Seven will broadcast three games each round, with Foxtel continuing to air every game live.

Both networks will broadcast all finals live across the country over the four-year broadcasting deal announced in Melbourne on Thursday morning.

All matches will also be streamed live on Seven and Foxtel digital platforms and via the AFLW App.

The AFL's head of women's football Nicole Livingstone said the deal was significant for the AFLW competition and women's sport generally.

"The anticipation around season three of the AFLW continues to build and the new broadcast agreement is another important milestone in the journey we are on," she said.

"We are thrilled that every AFLW match will be broadcast live for at least the next four years.

"We thank Seven and Foxtel for their fantastic commitment to and support of AFLW."

Briefly.

It’s probably ok if you have some people you can share the subscription with and if you watch heaps of sport, if you just watch the footy though I reckon you’re better off getting the international AFL streaming via a VPN

Yeah it’s just fox sports or whatever but I don’t think you need to buy the basic package of poo poo no one watches and then get the sport upgrade. Supporting the bombers means the games are televised on free to air every other week so I’m only occasionally resorting to some dodgy stream.

It’s actually good on their gamepass because you can watch a replay of the 25 minutes of actual play instead of the 3.5 hour telecast

The afl are a bunch of dumb cunts with this AFLX garbage. By pushing the players into it they're just making people turn off it as being some sort of joke as opposed to a legit touch-AFL style game for the general public to participate in.

It's more that loving garbage idiots with poo poo for brains are more inclined to make online comments than other people (primarily because it allows the rest of us to avoid interacting with them).

Wait, really? That's bullshit. How much were they paid?

Honestly I would have expected they were doing it for free. Maybe a sponsorship deal at best.

Seriously, the AFL could double the salary of every AFLW player and probably still turn a profit on that venture alone. It's rubbish that they haven't at the very least added a "games played" bonus to at least reward the players putting on the show each week in the middle of summer.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Remind me again what the stated goal of AFLX is?

A version of the game that can be played on international fields, and is appealing to non-viewers. Yeah?

Well are they marketing AFLX overseas to any of these international, non AFL viewing markets then?

Why not actually pay attention/market/treat with respect the AFLW which is bringing women and girls back to the game?

Instead, they throw money at AFLX, which was an abject failure last year, and throw money at it in the worst possible way. Highlighting it's faults as a glorified kick and giggle, and doing nothing to further it's stated purpose.
