Week One Results - Practice Matches​

The VFLW has returned, in the form of practice matches, as 12 of 14 VFLW teams took to the park on January the 29th.

The Southern Saints got off on the right foot as they took on the Williamstown Seagulls at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval in Sandringham. The Saints started slowly before a big second quarter where they took the lead and didn’t look back as they finished with a 14-point lead.

La Trobe University, Bundoora hosted two matches across an action-packed Saturday with the Darebin Falcons going down to the Carlton Blues VFLW side by 57 points. The Falcons failed to kick a major until the fourth quarter while the Blues piled them on from start to finish.

The second of the Bundoora hosted practice matches saw the incoming AFLW side of the Hawthorn Hawks take on Richmond Tigers affiliated, Port Melbourne. It was the Hawks that stole the chocolates in an inaccurate day for the side as they kicked 10 goals and 14 behinds and dominated inside 50s and took a 52 point lead at the final siren.

Another incoming AFLW side, the Essendon Bombers have stamped their mark as a possible contender in 2022 with a 62 point victory over the Casey Demons as the Demons could not find the goals.


North Melbourne and Collingwood also went up against each other at Arden Street but no scores have been released but they opted against traditional 20-minute quarters to play 18-minute quarters instead.

Southern Saints (3.5 23) defeated Williamstown Seagulls (1.3 9) by 14 points.

Week Two Results - Practice Matches​

One week remains before the 2022 VFLW Season kicks off and on the weekend before, four teams lined up in another practice match to fine-tune their game plan.

Saturday saw the Williamstown Seagulls head to Ikon Park to take on the Carlton Blues and it was the Seagulls who struggled for the second week in a row to score goals as the Blues took a 27 point lead at the end of the first half. The Seagulls found one more goal for the game but it wasn’t enough as Carlton won their second practice match by 39 points.

On Sunday, it was Port Melbourne’s turn to travel but this time to the other side of the city as the Richmond Tigers affiliated VFLW side travelled to Casey Fields to take on the Casey Demons. There were more positive sides for both sides as they looked better with a practice game in hand but the Demons were just too good as they won by 25 points.

The 2022 VFLW Season will kick off on Saturday the 12th of February with venues and times yet to be confirmed. Casey and Port Melbourne will go up against each other again while Carlton will take on Geelong in Geelong and Williamstown will meet stand-alone side Darebin.

More VFLW practice matches were held over the weekend but clubs decided not to release scores or matchups.

Full Results​

Carlton Blues (7.13 55) defeated Williamstown Seagulls (2.4 16) by 39 points

Casey Demons (8.4 52) defeated Port Melbourne (4.3 27) by 25 points

That's huge and amazing news. Will love to hear the WARF and Casey audio side by side the stream.

I can guarantee there will be a lot of technical issues though.

Live stream status for today's VFLW games...

Carlton vs Southern - No stream at all for the first half, the third quarter was live before the stream was frozen for the rest of the game.
Casey vs Darebin - No stream at all for the first half, most of the third quarter was live before the stream froze for the rest of the game.
Western Bulldogs vs Williamstown - No stream at all for the first half, got some of the third, watched someone's desktop until the last bit of the game was streamed with no scoreboard
Geelong vs Hawthorn - Nothing for the first 15 minutes of the game, It is now live but the scoreboard is wrong
North vs Collingwood - Only good stream so far streamed via the AFL Website

Good to see quality streaming continues into 2022 for the VFLW!

Essendon v Port - Stream froze late in the 2nd quarter and did not play normally until early into the 3rd quarter.

Radio stream for Blues v Saints and Bombers v Port was fine (but being biased since I run that).

Can someone explain why the Prelim between Southern Saints and Casey is on at 405pm on Sunday, surely a more suitable time could be fixtured. Port has a Friday night game this week, are there other games on at North Port Oval this weekend?

New lights installed at North Port, so I'm guessing that they are giving the different power/wattage/lighting settings a try and seeing how that looks on camera.

It's no secret the AFL wants North Port to be an AFLW venue - just a matter of getting the Cricket Club to up stumps and move.

Do we know what the crowd at the GF was today?

𝐕𝐅𝐋 𝟐𝟑 - 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟐-PODCAST
Brendan 'Jonty' Rhodes and I team up again for Episode 2 of VFL 23; the unofficial podcast of the Victorian Football League

This week we've discussed something vital to the value of the VFL and VFLW competitions and that centres around the potential for AFL clubs to direct players into the VFL and VFL/W competitions for several years and use it as a platform to get players ready for AFL/AFLW level for a year or two before drafting them; based on the ongoing success of players being picked up in the competitions through the AFL system as mature and match-ready players.

This is the only media platform of its kind in Australia for this competition and with practice matches taking place this weekend, it's the perfect opportunity to get to know the competitions well ahead of the season, and competitions that are somewhat serving a similar playing purpose to college football and basketball in the US.
