The AFLW and the AFLPA have agreed on a three-year Collective Bargaining Agreement.

An outstanding 98 per cent of the players put in yes votes, up from 70 per cent when the vote was rejected a few weeks ago.

The AFLPA required 75 per cent of players to tick off on the CBA and after some renegotiation, the players put their support behind the agreement.

The new agreement sees players given greater assurance that they will have a minimum four months of notice in regards to season start date timing and an additional week’s pay for Grand Final teams among many other new elements.

The 2020 season will feature eight games and three weeks of finals, with nine games in 2021 and 10 in 2022.

Pre-season will extend from nine weeks, to 9.5 weeks to 10.5 in that same time period.

The AFLW season will be confirmed tomorrow, with the conferences and fixture to be released with that.

The AFL was greatly criticised for their conference layout last year and they are attempting to remedy that this year, reportedly loading up Carlton, Collingwood, Melbourne, Richmond and the Bulldogs in the same conference.
