Not to long to go now!

In the lead-up, I've put together a couple of trivia questions for the devoted W crew here.

 

9 days til Round 1...

Emoji-react with your answer:

Q: Melbourne has scored two of the top three winning margins in AFLW so far (78 and 88 points). Which teams did these wins come against?

Was a bit of a trick question, in that it only refers to the three players listed!

Kate Hore leads the MFC goalkickers with 53 (also fourth on the league-wide list).

Tayla Harris leads the league with 58 (28 of which have been for Melbourne). Alyssa Bannan also has 28, then its former Dee Shelley Scott, Zanker and so on.

West Coast and Fremantle.  The West Coast game was at Casey in 2020, and the Fremantle game was Season 6 last year at Optus.  Daisy Pearce kicked 5 goals that day.

Apparently there’s a curtain raiser at 4pm. Our match starts at 7:20pm so I’d guess that the unfurling ceremony will take place between the two matches. I’ll find out, and confirm.

Confirmed: around/just after 6:45pm

Just watched the Footy Classified Show, and they ended with, "enjoy the week off", as if there was no AFL being played.

They must know that the AFL women starts this week. 

I also did not hear any commentary about the games. If Wilson was on, I'm sure she would have at least mentioned the opening week.

Women's elite sports have such a difficult task to get real support.

If Collingwood was unfurling the flag on Friday night, would the Collingwood show (footy classified) and the mouth piece Eddy, have made a song and dance about it?

I don't get the lack of media support. There is a product there with AFLW, yes?

Yep, you were all onto it!

Lucky Demon number 64.

In '64, the MFC won a famous flag, and tomorrow night we raise our first AFLW premiership flag.

Yep club games. The Vic one would be AFLW State of Origin (AFL-sanctioned that is, women played plenty of state rep footy previous to that). I think the one referred to was either before or after the 2017 season. Vic smashed the Allies - might be a different story now with all the talent in SA and QLD.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
