    I'm stoked we are going to have another Swans' team to cheer for. Bring it on. Let's hope our academy feeds it too.

    Surprised they have done that with woman's footy, but old habits die hard I guess.
    Give them a chance Barry....as it becomes more relevant to Swans fans, ie: we actually have a team to talk about, the mod's may (and should) move it onto the main board.

    I wonder where the Swans AFLW team will play. SCG will be used for cricket

    Hopefully the AFL might allow us to retain our best Academy players from this year to keep GWS from getting their grubby hands on them.

    Jess Doyle makes history with VFLW selection

    Won't be happy if she ends up at GWS!

    “The jewel in the crown of rugby league grounds is poised to become a permanent refuge for a rival code, as the Sydney Swans zero in on a new-look Henson Park as the likely home of their new AFLW team.”

    Article in SMH this evening.

    Great news, I will finally have a team to support 🙂.

    Is the development of our new facilities going ahead?

    Mel, I didn’t post the link to the SMH article (cos I was nervous re link issues) but do a search for:

    “Swans set to use rugby league’s inner west ‘jewel’ as AFLW home ground”

    There is a hint in the article that the new facility might get resurrected. The issue was financial following the collapse of funding in 2020 due to Covid. I would think the financial issue has got worse this year but perhaps they have found a very generous donor?
