A staggering new mark has been set for both AFL and AFLW players, while a key detail in the fine print has been changed.
The AFL past players’ injury and hardship fund will receive $60 million until the end of the agreement compared to $20m in the last deal.
The CBA also forecasts more five-day breaks between men’s games to provide fixturing flexibility and more Thursday night games.“The new CBA provides certainty to the players for both competitions,” McLachlan said in a statement. “Our AFLW players receive another immediate boost after an historic 94 per cent increase last season.
“And the opportunity is ahead of the competition to continue to grow in length if we can reach some key support metrics that have been achieved before. “Together we will focus on expanding crowds and TV audience for the women’s competition while working to engage more women and girls to take up football.”
