Well it felt a bit like a country footy game for the fans (8,600 odd) being able to lean over the fence and shout encouragement.
Their skills were splendid, there were some fabulous grabs just when you thought, I don’t reckon anyone (men or women) could take that mark.
It was a hard and willing contest and they thoroughly enjoyed their debut with so many supporters including so many from the mens team present to witness and support them .
But a very mature kid/young woman with a clear view of her goals. Article below has quotes from before the season started, so pre her knee injury.
“Every Friday I’ll fly up to Sydney and do Friday and Saturday trainings here at the club before flying back for school.
“I have a really good support network around me, and my school (Overnewton Anglican Community College) has been great as well.
“They’ve helped me strike the right footy-school balance and obviously school comes first. Scott is so understanding of that.”

From the Swans AFLW injury report: all players who played Round 1 are expected to be available for Round 2 with the exception of Montana Ham.
Montana suffered a right knee ligament strain and has commenced a rehabilitation program. It is expected she will be likely to return to play in 4 weeks.
I assume she is doing rehabilitation back home in Melbourne but that wasn’t made explicit.
Ah, just read that Montana was going to school today so she must be back in Melbourne.

They've only released this footage of the players receiving their jumpers last Friday pre-game now: Swans receive their first guernsey (sydneyswans.com.au). It's brilliant!
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
