After Taylor Smith kicked a goal at the death to put the Lions in front in Brisbane, she made a “Big O” shape with her hands in honour of Oscar McInerney.
“Congrats to the men’s team, really hyped us up today,” Brisbane Lions match winner Taylor Smith told Fox after their nail-biting AFLW win over Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.
The Lions are now the reigning premiers of both the men’s and women’s competitions, and the AFLW side are making a strong case to go back-to-back again this year. The Bulldogs’ win followed their comprehensive defeat of the then-winless Collingwood last Sunday by 42 points. Collingwood star Sarah Rowe said it was a massive loss for the Kangaroos, as Kearney leads by example and directs her side, which remains undefeated but not without some flaws starting to show.Making things worse was the tough conditions down at UTAS Stadium – horribly wet with puddles across the deck, making the ball slippery and ground sludgy.Getty Images
“If you want to contend a premiership, you need to be able to play four quarters,” she said on the broadcast.
