Good interview by Abbey Holmes with the McKay sisters. #AFLW #AFLWBluesPies
Arguably a career-best performance from Mimi Hill to kick off the season - 32 disposals, six clearances, and six inside 50s. Looks at home back on the ball. #AFLWBluesPies
Go Blues! #AFLWBluesPies #AFLW
Crowd of 8,042 at Ikon Park #AFLWBluesPies
The Collingwood players will get better, but concerning lack of adjustment from the coaches. Pies pressure wasn't where it needed to be, but the Blues were decisive, made quick decisions, and used space way better. A very impressive start to the season for them! #AFLWBluesPies
The Blues killing Collingwood by playing short and through their hands - which is exactly what the Pies need to do as the long kicks out of defence just aren't working #AFLWBluesPies
This game is getting away from Collingwood here. They are really struggling to get it out of their D50. Too many panicked boots to ball #AFLWBluesPies
Good game this. Loving the way both sides are backing their kicking skills to give them advantage and set up attacks
Sophie McKay looks like an absolute jet. Gee whiz, this girl could be anything (Blues 55)
Her efforts have set up two goals so far
#AFLWBluesPies
Why are the Pies wearing armbands? #AFLWBluesPies #AFLW
A star is born!!
Ash Centra how good?
Filthy with coughing it up she willed herself into a big grab & the perfect kick
Wow
#AFLWBluesPies

How good is it to see Razor Ray back involved umpiring #AFLW
The perfect mentor for the up & coming umpys, bloody beauty.
Good for the game to have blokes like Ray involved
#AFLWBluesPies
Collingwood lost their shape a bit once Frederick moved out of the Forwards. Need to get back to it because they were looking strong before that #AFLWBluesPies
I reckon the @carltonaflw.bsky.social would be fairly happy with that first quarter
Apart from the Pies getting those first couple, it was pretty even footy
Hill dominating, a dozen or more touches in a quarter just reflects her class
#AFLWBluesPies
Mia Austin nice mark, good straight kick, Blues on the board

A worthy opener for the season. If they are going to play with her as a target all season she's gonna get alot more marks like that!

Violet Patterson looking every but the AFLW player already. #AFLWBluesPies

It's going to be another brilliant season of W footy. It's a different game to M footy, but don't let that fool you
These women are tough, competitive and committed
Get on board. It's so good
