AustraliaAFLW chief executive Laura Kane stated that she is satisfied all clubs are treating their women’s programs seriously, despite recent poor performances by teams such as St Kilda, Collingwood, and North Melbourne. St Kilda has begun consulting with experienced football figures, including Kane, to identify requirements for a new senior coach after sacking Nick Dal Santo following a one-win season. Kane noted that the league is considering moving up the start date for the 2027 season to address scheduling issues. She emphasized that clubs are being transparent about their struggles and are commissioning independent reviews to improve performance. The AFLW finals are set to begin soon, featuring top-ranked teams like Geelong, Melbourne, North Melbourne, and Carlton.
