AFLW Season 2026 Today at 04:46:58 pm Not the news I wanted to hear:QuoteThe Collingwood Football Club has today received a list assistance package following approval from the AFL Commission.The assistance package includes:Two additional list spots for the 2026 AFLW season and one additional list spot for the 2027 AFLW season, to be funded by the Club.Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly welcomed the assistance and thanked the AFL Commission for its consideration of the Club’s submission.“As a Club, we have worked closely with the AFL to develop an assistance package to progress our AFLW program and we appreciate the AFL’s engagement and support throughout this process,” Kelly said.“Across our organisation, we have – and will continue to – invest significantly in our AFLW football program. With full-time coaches, high-performance and development staff in place, we remain absolutely committed to driving a winning culture and fostering growth and development to get better.”A foundation club that ran its AFLW program into the ground through inept management gets a leg up Gold Coast and GWS got assistance packages too but I think that's more acceptable.

Re: AFLW Season 2026 Reply #2 – Today at 05:18:14 pm Absolute Garbage. How can an organisation that hums along int he mens comp, get an assistance package?Even North melbourne are more worthy because they are almost defunct in the mens comp and have somehow picked themselves off the canvas in AFLW (largely because the gap between haves, and have nots is not so large due to the money that comp generates). What a load of rubbish. Quote Selected
