blues win over hawks hand us the $1mm part of this trophy as having the most combined points on finishing postions of both the afl and aflw teams.
A first time winning in this way. I know Sth Melbourne did not win one (points for firsts seonds and u19 counted. THE Sydney swans afl team have won it a couple of times when only finishing on top of the ladder. Tjhis is the first time fro a win with both afl and aflw results counting. $500k to club and $250k each to afl and aflw player. Interesting how the afl players split will go, i suggest bottom up on salary the loswest paid get the most. In regard to the girls as I think most have part time jobs split it evenly. what do others think

Magnificent win by the AFLW side yesterday to snare us the trophy. Great to win the $1,000,000, even better to snatch it away from Geelong.

Future looking bright for the women. Obviously going to be a tough ask against North, but to have two finals wins already, seems to be a very strong foundation for next year. Most of the team is young: especially 19 year old Maddy Quinn, who produced an amazing game yesterday in the ruck. She's only going to get better as she matures, and if her and Morphett can get on the field together, then they should power the team to plenty of wins. All they and the rest of the midfield really need to do, is get the ball in the general direction of Molloy and she'll largely do the rest.

I'm also becoming convinced that Colin O'Riordan is a very good coach. He's impressive, succinct and insightful in his press conferences, and he seems to have the team highly motivated and playing to the best of their ability.
