24 out of 57 matches for the W-League were broadcasted on FTA (free to air) with Fox Sports picking up five extra including online streaming. 

On the other hand, AFLW has all games broadcast on Fox Footy or Fox Sports 3 nationally with only 19 on FTA but here's the kickers. 

Out of those 19, only three are on nationwide, the rest depends on where you live. 

Perry says while there are so many ways to increase interest in women's sport but TV coverage is important.

"For me, seeing more women’s sport on TV is a huge deal and last year’s Women’s Ashes spurred huge interest in female cricket," Perry said.

"It’s also crucial that we inspire young women to play sport after school, whether this is at local grassroots cricket clubs or just for fun – what’s key here is that young women have access to role models to pursue their sporting passion," she said.

However, there is still a stigma around women's sport of them not matching the level of the men's game. 

It has been an issue across every code in Australia but after the AFL issued an edict to all AFLW coaches and footballers urging them to play a more entertaining game, it showed the stigma is still there.
