The AFLW knows exactly how many people would need to attend the final round of its season to trigger an extra round in 2024, but it also knows it will fall short of that mark.

Under the AFLW’s collective bargaining agreement, a 12th round would be added to the 2024 season if the average crowd for home-and-away games in 2023 was 3500.Advertisement

That is an impossible task, given an average of 11,627 would need to attend each game, and the combined capacity of the venues being used in round 10 is 103,500. “Henson Park is one of the best grounds to watch and experience AFLW, crowds more than doubling for Swans matches this season is testament to that, Pride round and our finals series is shaping up to be a great celebration and conclusion to our eighth AFLW season.”

The AFLPA said the enterprise agreement ensured there would be annual growth forums between it and the league to consider the growth strategy for the women’s competition.
