They've just found out in their wisdom in the lead up to the Womens World Cup next year the have made their age groups U14's, U16's and the next one is U23's. How many girls are they going to lose after U16's - it's no wonder AFL is kicking on with their girls numbers.
That’s a crazy jump in age.. I don’t understand the obsession with having an U/23’s by the time you are 20 you want to be playing against adults. I like the set up we are going to have next year of 13’s, 15’s 17’s Res 1st . If I was to be picky I’d say throw in a 19’s.. But at least there is a steady path of growth and less chance of losing big numbers to other sports as they get older.
