When are we going to join the AFLW? Could it be as soon as a year from now? In this (quite dated) article
Swans reaffirm desire for women's footy - sydneyswans.com.au Andrew Ireland is quoted as saying:
“We’ve written to the AFL to say that our facilities and a ground in the eastern suburbs won’t be ready for 2019, but we do want to apply for a licence, and we’re hopeful we will be in a place to do that from 2020 – we think that we can achieve our new facilities and ground in that timeframe,” Ireland said.
It seems we are on track with the facilities and the ground but clearly we are not joining the upcoming season but I have the vague impression that we (and our Academy graduates) won't be ready in a year either. Does anyone know? Meg?
