The 2019 AFL Women's season was the third season of the AFL Women's competition, the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Australia.

The season featured ten clubs, with Template:AFLW Nor and Geelong joining the competition. It ran from 2 February until 31 March, and comprised a 7-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring four clubs.

The premiership was won by Template:AFLW Ade for the second time, after it defeated Template:AFLW Car by 45 points in the AFL Women's Grand Final.

Reforms

New teams

Two new teams, Template:AFLW Gee and Template:AFLW NM, joined the competition, bringing the total number of teams to ten. The North Melbourne team has a strong Tasmanian focus; some players are based in Tasmania and some home games were held in the state. The introduction of the new teams is the first stage of a two-year expansion that will take the league to fourteen teams for the 2020 season.[1]

Conferences

Despite the introduction of new teams, the league retained a seven-round home-and-away season. This was achieved by splitting the competition into two conferences. Each team play four games against their fellow conference members and three "cross-over" matches against teams from the other conference.[2] Conference membership was based on the final ladder positions of the 2018 season.[2]

The finals series was expanded to include preliminary finals for the first time; the two teams who finish the highest in each conference at the end of the home-and-away season qualified for the preliminary finals. The winners of these games played in the AFL Women's Grand Final.[3] The make-up of the conferences, along with the fixture, was released in October 2018.[4]

The conference system proved controversial as the teams in Conference A consistently outplayed the teams on Conference B, resulting in the first, second, fifth and sixth best overall teams making the finals.[5][6][7]

Rule changes

There were 11 rule changes brought in for the 2019 AFLW season (three AFLW specific).

  • Boundary throw ins brought in by 10m (AFLW only)
  • Last touch rule only applies outside of the 50s (AFLW only)
  • Runners allowed on the field during live play (AFLW only)
  • 5-6-5 formation mandated at centre bounces
  • The woman on the mark must stand further back after kick ins after a behind (from 5m to 10m), and the player doesn't need to kick to herself before playing on[8]
  • After defenders have a free kick within nine metres of their goal, the woman on the mark stands in line with the top of the goal square
  • Players can't set up behind the umpire at centre bounces
  • Play on is allowed for 50m penalties
  • Players can kick across their body after taking a mark after the siren.
  • A player can place her hands on the back of her opponent to protect marking space (see Push in the back)
  • A ruck who takes direct possession of the ball from a bounce, throw-up or boundary throw-in will no longer be regarded as having had prior opportunity.[9]

The full fixture and make-up of the conferences was released on 26 October 2018.[4][10]
