CTTG R9 review: Bulldogs’ breakthrough, final eight still up in the air
Sarah Black, Gemma Bastiani and Lucy Watkin take a look at the big wins and best performances from round nine of the 2023 AFLW season on Credit to the Girlswww.afl.com.au
Getting better crowds to AFLW than to VFL. Maybe run double headers with VFL first?AFLW crowd target is mission impossible, but this suburban ground is the MVP
The AFLW knows exactly how many people would need to attend the final round of its season to trigger an extra round in 2024, but it also knows it will fall short of that mark.www.theage.com.au
"The analogy I use with the players and the parents is that if I'm sitting in my armchair, and I'm 80 years old, looking back, and AFLW's flying … I want to know that I played my part advancing it, not pulling it back," Gowans says.
"It sounds philosophical, but it's so true. You don't want to be the one that's held it back … we need to be courageous to coach here because at times, you're going to look a bit silly.
"And we did; we looked silly against Geelong last year. They annihilated us. But I could still see the little bits and pieces out of the game that I thought were really good. We didn't throw 10 people behind the ball and make it a stoppage game, we just kept taking the game on."
Great article. Just how you would hope that it would be. Strong characters all putting in. Love that Harley is so invested but doesn't feel the need to show off. And that the guys genuinely care too.From zero to heroes: Why Swans' rise is no surprise
Despite going from zero wins to being on the cusp of finals just one season later, remarkably little has changed for the Swans. Gemma Bastiani steps inside Sydney HQ to see what's driving their rise, and why the signs were there all alongwww.afl.com.au
I fkin love this guy. How good.
Agree. It really is a very good article that shows the Swans strengths at their best. I get the impression that some men & women teams are very separated. Whilst ours is very much integrated already into the club, which is a credit to all involved.Great article. Just how you would hope that it would be. Strong characters all putting in.

I think that, but also to be respected as humans. The effort that is made in all aspects of the players' lives must be very attractive to people who have not experienced that.Agree.

At this point of AFLW we need women to know they'll be treated as professional athletes by a professional club, its going to be critical in our ability to attract players.
