Serious question.

There are only two clubs not bidding for access to the expanded AFLW competition; Port Adelaide and the Sydney Swans. Why?

As the father of two daughters I am at a loss. The clubs bidding say it is fundamentally about culture and equity.

I have heard the club say previously they are focusing on the academy, but this is moving faster than that. Does anyone else have question marks regarding the leaderships interpretation of this issue?
