The AFLW fixture was released during the week and 3AW Football‘s Shane McInnes thinks the AFL has “failed” to capitalise on a massive opportunity to expose the women’s game to traditional football fans.

Over a month ago, AFLW General Manager Emma Moore said that curtain-raisers would be a part of the upcoming season’s fixture and McInnes thinks what Moore said was “nonsense”.

“I really question the AFL’s desire to grow the women’s game,” McInnes said on 3AW Football.
