Great job AFL, scheduled for the same time as the men’s game and managed to be the only doubleheader where the men’s team is not playing before/after.

Anyway just the one change this week with Georgia Clarke returning for Courtney Murphy (omitted)

Be interesting to see where the Swans are at after knocking off Adelaide in Adelaide last week.

Up the Dons!

Thanks @cookie930. It’s going to be a very interesting match to watch.
And the after-match activities will be fascinating too with the likelihood of a walk-out and boycott of the second leg of this double-header.

Yeah not sure about a guard of honour from the men’s team is a great look.

This would have been a pretty tough week for the Swans AFLW team.

Will also be a WARFRadio.com game. It will an odd game to call not knowing the Swans AFLW mindset coming into this.

Throw the form guide out for this one.

Very happy with Clarke in for Murphy. Looking forward to this one but not happy about the time clash.

Can’t find any free live streams for this one.

Except WARF Radio . Maggie Johnstone kicks the first goal of the match.
1.2.8 to 0.5.5 late in the first term.

Defensive efforts have been really impressive so far.

I think Sydney overpower us but no lack of effort.

Yeah, harsh not to give the men “clean air”.

Pesky EFC VFLW player Sarah Grunden puts the Swans in front.

What a loser… played just one game, but fellow debutant on the same day Maddison Ford now on 50 games and has been a league CHB of the year.

All of our forward 50 intercept = goal.

Alexander returns the lead to us

14-11

Prespakis on 20 disposals at halftime, and at a better-than-usual 70%

This is a seriously good effort.
Johnston and Brothwell both showing plenty for first year players.

LOL, no one posted in the second half while I was snorkeling?

Too worried the men were going to stuff it up?

EDIT: wow, what a vanilla panic merchant display Blitz put on…

Maddy Gay looks to have busted a shoulder/arm. My enthusiasm of the game went with that.
