    I know it was reported she was in high spirits after the game but to not have the worry and journey of an ACL injury in the context of her HSC year would be a nice outcome..
    Hopefully the Brisbane player gets similar good news...heartbreaking if it's ACL again

    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 .

    Oh my goodness she's just a kid! Her performance was even more impressive given her youth. It was gut-wrenching watching her leave the ground, such a relief it isn't an ACL.

    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.”

    AFLW 2022 R1: Swans vs St Kilda 5.10pm Saturday 27 August

    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!

    Made me quite weepy! Wonderful to see how much this means to these young women.
