Despite the loss that was thoroughly enjoyable. Thought the Swanettes played with skill and flair but were out done by a more experienced team.
Definitely won themselves a fan!

Good signs from Swans women. Look well coached trying to play attractive footy With only a very short pre-season to learn as a squad in this their first year, plenty of improvement seems likely,
Enjoyed that despite the result. The team will improve significantly over time, this i just the beginning. I like the style of footy we were trying to play.
Gee hope that Montana is okay, fingers crossed. Very easy to see why she went as no 1 in the draft.
What a great crowd too - not sure NSO is a great place for footy (it really is a postage stamp ground - maybe we should play Collingwood there in the Men's footy ) but it is picturesque and a great turn out!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Great vibe, pretty ground, good and excited/supportive crowd.
Lots of the male players and coaches in attendance, as well as other staff and the Board.
I agree that Aimed Whelan was good - not a player I had really given any consideration before.
Brenna Tarrant also had many good moments.
Cynthia Hamilton has exhibited star qualities and scored goals every chance she's had so far.
The glimpses of Montana Hamilton were really exciting. Terrible news about her injury. I'm scared she's done an ACL. She seemed to feel the same way. Awful outcome if that's the case.
I hate to say it but we looked a long way off the standard of last night's Melbourne-Adelaide game. It's gonna take a few seasons before we're ready to seriously contend I fear.
With the exception of Hams knee it was a wonderful night for the Club. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd live to see a Swans womens team. It's going to be a long journey to success so buckle up and enjoy the ride!
The weather cleared, rode my bicycle to the ground (not a bike rack to be found), couldn’t believe it was only $10 to get in, exuberant crowd, around 8,600.
They were so delighted to be playing senior footy and it was terrific to see the Swans (M) players there with kids , Horse and crew lining up as they came out of the race .
The skill level was excellent from both sides.
I think that was Cynthia Hamilton, pick 11. Decent game. Hamilton excites with spectacular first goal I liked this snap, thought it might have given us a bit of momentum coming into the last quarter but the Saints sneaked one in on the siren.
Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector
No.1 pick cleared of ACL injury, anxious wait for Lion
Ham does not have an ACL injury, though the exact nature of the injury is not yet known. Lions are hoping for similar news for Postlethwaite, who is playing her first game after rupturing her ACL last year.
