PRESS RELEASE Sydney and Canberra to host matches in inaugural NAB AFL Women's Competition The fixture for the inaugural NAB AFL Women’s competition was recently released, with three matches to be played in Sydney and Canberra and all games across the competition to be broadcast live. The GWS GIANTS will play two home games in Sydney, at Blacktown International Sportspark and one at Manuka Oval in Canberra as part of the seven-week round-robin fixture. The season will kick off on Friday February 3, with the Grand Final to be held during round one of the AFL Premiership Season, on Saturday March 25. Sydney football fans will first be able to see the GWS GIANTS in action on Saturday February 18 at Blacktown International Sportspark when they take on Fremantle in Round 3. In Round 5 they return to Blacktown on Friday March 3 to take on the Melbourne Demons in a curtain-raiser before one of the biggest games on the pre-season calendar, the Sydney Derby. The GIANTS will then take on the Western Bulldogs at home in front of their Canberra fans at Manuka Oval on March 18. AFL NSW/ACT CEO Sam Graham said he was looking forward to seeing the NAB AFL Women’s competition kick off in February. ‘The inaugural GWS GIANTS list features 14 players from NSW and 5 from the ACT so it’s a great opportunity for football fans across the State and Territory to support their local talent.’ he said. Fans will enjoy free access to all NAB AFL Women’s competition matches, with the exception of the double-headers played as curtain-raisers. A ticket to the JLT Community Series match will be required for entry to those games.

Work Underway on New Elite Women's Facilities at Ikon Park.Pdf Pdf 199.59 KB
Wednesday, 27 January 2021 WORK UNDERWAY ON NEW ELITE WOMEN’S FACILITIES AT IKON PARK Purpose-built AFLW change rooms and an elite indoor training facility will level the playing field for women footballers at Ikon Park, with work underway on the landmark project. On the eve of the 2021 AFLW season, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Martin Pakula today joined Carlton president Mark LoGiudice, AFLW stars Maddy Prespakis and Tayla Harris and Federal Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and the Digital Economy Jane Hume at Ikon Park to view progress. Prior to the pandemic, women’s football in Victoria was booming and with the anticipated return of community footy in 2021, that trend is set to continue. The establishment of the AFLW in 2017 was a game-changer, with Ikon Park hosting a sell-out crowd of nearly 25,000 people at the first-ever AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood. The 2021 AFLW season kicks off tomorrow night at Ikon Park with the Blues again hosting the Magpies. Current match-day facilities are below par and the project will see the demolition of the Pratt Stand and the construction of a match-day pavilion with AFLW-standard change rooms, an elite indoor training facility and better views into the ground from Princes Park. The existing training and administration building will be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club. Lighting will also be upgraded to allow broadcasting of AFLW night matches.

Full Points Footy http://www.fullpointsfooty.net Introduction For most football devotees, clubs are the lenses through which they view the game, colouring and shaping their perception of it more than all other factors combined. To use another overblown metaphor, clubs are also the essential fabric out of which the rich, variegated tapestry of the game’s history has been woven.
