Melbourne coach Mick Stinear confirmed that Kate Hore's first half playing forward was a form of management as she returned from a knee concern in the practice match. Will be hoping to increase midfield minutes in the coming weeks. #AFLWDogsDees

The Dees dee-struct the Dogs to open the new #AFLW season with a massive win.

I’m not giving up yet. Pretty sure we’ll be kicking with a seven-goal mist in the last quarter.

Eden Zanker goes the bicycle, misses it, & had the biggest grin before she even hit the ground. Still laughing about it two minutes later...geeze I love W footy

Tyla Hanks has been a very, very good player for a long time, but this year she's going to become great. Just has that perfect touch. #AFLWDogsDees

Tayla Harris has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with an eye concern. #AFLWDogsDees

I’m liking the commentary/commentators for the #AFLWDogsDees game.

Emma McDonald with the first of I expect many contested marks across her AFLW career. #AFLWDogsDees

Here we go.
