Very similar and uncanny 125 years on,but glad the Ladies made their own bit of History for their 1st Ever AFLW Game.

Fantastic stuff from the gals

They played with a lot of pluck, pressure and panache.

Not to beat the Scum!

Was mightily impressed with our AFLW in their inaugural game. Wood spoke very well.
