Thank-you Julia.

Nice work

Yes. We should be playing finals at seasons end

Has any club won both Men's and Women's comps in the same year?

No, not yet! Some teams have gotten close: Adelaide 2017 (W premier, M grand finalist), Melbourne 2021-22 (M premier 2021, W premier 2022 S7) and Brisbane 2023 (M grand finalist, W premier). On the opposite side of the spectrum, Melbourne went out of finals in straight sets in both the men's and women's last year.
