Looks like we have found one in Holly Cooper. Great speed and goal sense. Can see why we led Newman go.

Not sure how Imogen Brown didn't get a spot on the list. She's got some talent. Laura Gardiner a casual 47 possies, just another day at the office.

The Sydney Swans AFLW have commenced their VFLW campaign with a commanding 62-point victory over the Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval, Victoria on Saturday afternoon

Sydney too strong for Bulldogs in VFLW
Playing for the first time in the VFLW, the red and white line up was filled with plenty of experience and youth for it’s first victory of the 2024 season.
Great to see that end to end goal again. Superb running.The Sydney Swans AFLW have commenced their VFLW campaign with a commanding 62-point victory over the Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval, Victoria on Saturday afternoon

I’m a happy chappy because I’ve just realised that three of our five games are in Sydney, starting next weekend, at Henson Park, on a weekend that is otherwise footy free.
I had assumed that, because we’re gatecrashing the VFL, all our matches would be in Melbourne.

Really enjoyed that!
We were actually pretty rusty with our handling and kicking for goal. Effort was incredible and tackling was fierce.
Giselle Davies will be a star. Takes no sh*t and hits like a train.
The girls look really fit.

My observations of the match:
* we totally outclassed the VFLW level opposition. Being nearly full-time professional makes a big difference.
* horrible kicking for goal, especially early. And a corresponding lack of confidence from a lot of players electing not to take a shot when they could (the Hamilton sisters in particular).
* our basic skills looked rusty. But our structures and pressure looked good.
* poor defending from the opposition. I think the difference between our excellent teamwork, especially in defence and their poorer coordination and defence was the biggest difference in the game (albeit they had to do a lot more defending).
* beaut kick by Senna Gulden for our first ever VFLW goal. She's the third Gulden to play for our club and the fourth to represent (if you include Adam, Senna and Errol's mum, Bronwyn).
* All the newbies looking like they have something to offer, which arguably vindicates my suggestions that we should have turned over more of our list. Hausegger terrific in defence. Cooper terrific in attack, and quick.
* Beruldsen looking much improved compared to 2022 and even last year. By far the best game I've ever seen from her.
* Paris McCarthy being trialled in defence and doing well. Marking and competing strongly, working hard. It was hard for our defenders to stand out that much because mostly the ball lived in our F50.
* Gardiner and Kennedy picking up where they left off. Beasts. Ham too. And Ham was kicking straight to boot!
* Our players physically asserted themselves, which was pleasing to see, sometimes without quite enough discipline (looking at you Lexi Hamilton in particular).
* Of our VFLW listed players I thought Brown was best. Good learning experience for all of them. Martin looked the youngest so maybe especially for her.

WESTERN BULLDOGS vs SYDNEY SWANS
Western Bulldogs 0.1 0.1 2.1 3.4 (22)
Sydney Swans 2.4 5.8 8.10 12.12 (84)
YOUNG Sydney rising star Montana Ham showed herself to be a born leader and best-and-fairest winner Laura Gardiner took her own ball to the game as the Swans kicked off their rebel VFLW guest stint with a powerful 62-point victory over the Western Bulldogs at Mission Whitten Oval.
The 2022 No.1 draft pick, Ham only turned 20 last week and celebrated that milestone by being named captain for the game before producing a dominant display in attack that yielded 20 disposals, four marks and six tackles before cashing in herself with three last-quarter goals to finish with five majors.
Gardiner was even more devastating, piling up an amazing 47 disposals – two shy of her personal best effort for Geelong against Port Melbourne in 2022 that brought her to the attention of the Swans’ AFLW recruiting team. 22 were contested, plus six marks, seven clearances and five inside-50s.
But she also shone without the footy, adding 14 tackles to a day where she made Champion Data’s pen run dry, with the Swans picking up 117 more disposals, 29 more marks and 20 more inside-50s.
Holly Cooper, who the Swans selected during last year’s Expansion U18 Talent Pathway Pre-Signing Period, also had a day out with three majors.
The Swans boasted 18 AFLW-listed players to none and put paid to the contest with 5.8 to 0.1 in the first half and didn’t let up after the break, with Paige Sheppard and Tanya Kennedy having 22 possessions each.
