   Yes, we now have a ten round AFLW season that's started after the grand final   
   of the men's comp.   
   It used to only have a few club teams, now it's the full 18 teams.   
      
    WD> They also do not sprint 40 meters, need a drink of water and a

   A game comprises four quarters, which are made up of 20 minutes of actual game   
   time.   
   However, 'time-on' is added for any stoppages, such as injuries or throw-ins.   
   This means each quarter typically lasts for 25 to 30 minutes.   
   In between each quarter, there is a six minute break, while players are given   
   20 minutes to recover at half time.
