Yes.

Yes, we now have a ten round AFLW season that's started after the grand final
of the men's comp.
Then four final rounds with the top 8 teams, then the last four, then the two
in the grand final just like in
the men's. It used to only have a few club teams, now it's the full 18 teams.

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.
