Not sure if itโ€™s been mentioned here already but saw a post on Reddit that said 8,412 - more than double any other ALFW season opener

I think the AFLW1 lockout opener may have it covered. But since?

Brilliant! And deserved. Am I right in thinking Georgie Campbell is ex-Dee Tony Campbellโ€™s daughter?ย 

Had to watch this with the volume down a little and further away from the tv than usual.

Kept thinking Campbell was Harris and that Harris had somehow turned intoย Captain Marvel or Super girl.ย  How was she able to be in so many places!

How good is Kate Roffey?! She saw us (banner crew) waiting on the boundary and sheโ€™d only just been given the premiership cup, she made a beeline directly to us. I asked her if we could touch it and she said, HELL YEAH!โ€ Sheโ€™s a huge fan of the DA and never fails to acknowledge us, no matter the event. Sheโ€™s the best.ย

Yeah iirc that got 22,000 people attending. Clearly the novelty factor was in play.ย

Donโ€™t know if itโ€™s been mentioned but loved the gold (premiership) AFLW logo on our jumper. Gold for the next few years please.ย 

But why is the Premiership pennant pink? ย  Shouldnโ€™t it be red and blue?

ย 

I just got home. Itโ€™s been such a long day, my feet are killing, Iโ€™ve got no voice and I have the mother of all headaches, but none of that matters. Tonight was phenomenal! So proud of this team and thrilled to see them get season 8 off to a flyer.ย

The pennant is actually orange. Thatโ€™s the colour of the AFLW in general, or so I was told when I asked the same question. They were giving out free AFLW scarves that were orange and purple, so I guess thatโ€™s the chosen colour scheme. Imho the pennant looked crappy: light orange on a white background, and I reckon a flag wouldโ€™ve been better.ย 


This whole thread was so nice to read.ย  Especially everyone being so negative about the first half, just like always for Demonland!ย  Feels like things being taken seriously.ย  Also really happy to see people respecting Paxy!!

Great start to the season โค๐Ÿ’™ย  unfortunately this week has been a lot of work so I didn't make it to Melbourne, but have caught up after finally wrapping up some client work.

So nice to see the girls flying along early in the season and being responsive to momentum during the game!

26 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

georgia campbell is adrian campbell's daughter, not tony's

That may be so, but either way Georgieโ€™s parents are both Mr and Mrs Campbell.ย 

Such a great win, the girls look fit and lethal, huge upsides out of this

There is a certain level of creep factor to what I am about to say but itโ€™s needed for the comp to get to that โ€˜analytical levelโ€™ we all want it to get toโ€ฆ Eliza M is much stronger through the hips and thighs now with her time in the gym. Very powerful, and I donโ€™t know if that is what they make you do when you break your back but itโ€™s just really good for her footy.

She is definitely a lot stronger & her kicking has improved.

In the world of elite sport, thatโ€™s just bio-anatomically observant, @rpfc. Same for the men. I reckon the team as a group looked fitter and stronger, almost as if theyโ€™d been working to that end! Their running, strength in the aerial contest and physicality in tackling was, to me at least, who went to the first Melb v Bulldogs game at the โ€˜G, exponentially greater than that of course, and simply better year on year. Itโ€™s just so satisfying seeing the comp evolve from its inception, despite the AFLโ€™s half-arsed bet-hedging lack of optimal commitment. I look at Tyla Hanks, who I saw play in her first year (at Victoria Park), when I said to Mrs. Webber (yes, I did), sheโ€™ll be a Dees skipper one day, and how sheโ€™s now one of the best โ€˜pureโ€™ footballing talents running around. Itโ€™s just plain exciting. Ikon Park (excepting for that big CFC logo) is perfect for AFLW, too. Just like I used to imagine a fully aligned womenโ€™s AFL comp, I like to imagine a time when the AFL has the gumption to build an AFLW specific stadium, and have a proper season, not some 10 round tease.ย 

Awesome performance. Pies will play finals and we blew them away in the second half.

We wonโ€™t have a sense of who our challengers are for the flag until a few rounds are played but based on last night weโ€™ve gone up another notch again. good luck rest of the comp.

6 from 6 at ikon. Itโ€™s our de facto home good. I hate that Carlton logo though. What an eyesore.

I'm going with my daughter. The first time we have gone to a footy match together for over 10 years.ย 

She hasn't been to an AFLW game and has no interest in the AFL.

Interestingly though she really got into the Women's work cup and went to the fans sites multiple times. Is going to join Melb city women's team as a member such is her new found enthusiasm for soccer.

I say interestingly because when i asked if she wanted to come with me to watch the dees AFLW game tomorrow night i was really surprised when she said yes, and is really keen. I couldn't get her to a game, men's or women's, last season and i have no doubt the experience of being at AAMI park to watch the Matildas is why she is keen to go to a footy match.ย 

To say weโ€™re all hanging out to hear about young Ms Binners reaction is the understatement of the weekend I reckon.ย 

That third quarter by us was the champagnyest of champagne football. And against a side that is expected to challenge for a top 4 spot. We were a class or two above.ย 

My mate got annoyed when I said he put a few pounds on.

I will tell him I am just being bio-anatomically observant.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
