(Saw Nick Davis in the circle singing the club song at the end. I knew he was involved with our AFLW team - can someone please remind me of his role?)

Make sure to let Geelong know before we play them next week. We lost to them by 75 points last season and they just beat the Dogs by 8 goals.

Assistant coach

Thank you!

Huge win!

Scott Gowans’ post match press comments really worth a listen. He gives more info than we are accustomed to hearing from our coach [emoji3].

Excellent.

Great win by the women!

From 25 points down is amazing given the generally lower scoring games.

Will be a good season with the first win under the belt

25 points down to a 5-point win: from the time the Giants led by 25 points, the Swans kicked 4 goals 6 to no score. It was an impressive comeback.

Maybe Gowan can give our men's side a few pointers on how to win last quarters.

So awesome.

Who is the guy in sunnies whose hair was ruffled by McLean? Looks a bit like a younger and shorter version of Scottie Pippen (I don’t know those not in the main squad that well).

[Sandridge]

Thought the match commentator was really, really good, too!

Especially in the last few minutes!

Anyone know his name?

That would be Ryan Clarke.

I still haven't come down from the cloud that was yesterday afternoon. I can't remember when I last had that much fun at the footy.

And here are the coaches' votes from the round. A well-deserved maximum score for Morphett.

Coaches' votes, R1: Bri Davey one of SIX perfect 10s in round one

Agree wholeheartedly Liz. Can't wipe the smile of my face. I hope it has a positive effect on the boys.
