## Not run: 
# Return data for whole season from AFL Website
fetch_results(2020)

# This is equivalent to

fetch_results_afl(2020)

# Return AFLW data
fetch_results(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "AFL")
fetch_results_afl(2020, comp = "AFLW")

# Not all sources have AFLW data and will return a warning
fetch_results(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "footywire")
fetch_results(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "afltables")
fetch_results(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "squiggle")

# Different sources
fetch_results(2015, round = 5, source = "footywire")
fetch_results(2015, round = 5, source = "afltables")
fetch_results(2015, round = 5, source = "squiggle")

# Directly call functions for each source
