A brawl over the first AFL women’s grand final being dumped by the Gabba has escalated, with the ground manager hitting back at the AFL. The game has been relocated to the Gold Coast after concerts by pop star Adele damaged the pitch. The AFL has questioned the Gabba’s competence, but the Gabba says the AFL only approached it to host the final a few weeks prior to the concerts. Commentators say the AFL is developing the women’s league on the fly.
