The Swans failed to win a match in their inaugural AFLW campaign. On Sunday, star recruit Chloe Molloy helped them get their new season off to a perfect start.
Sydney have made the best possible start to their 2023 campaign with a five-point win over GWS giving the Swans a maiden AFLW victory.
And just when it looked like the Swans could get on terms with a goal from Ally Morphett , midfielder Rebecca Beeson provided an instant reply to increase the Giants’ margin.A third-quarter surge by GWS, thanks to goals by Madison Brazendale , Georgia Garnett and Haneen Zreika , brought the gap to a game-high 25-point lead.
All-Australian forward Greiser, brought in during the off-season from St Kilda, kicked the decisive major with three minutes to play before the Tigers defied the hosts in a mad final minute with the ball deep in the Lions’ forward 50. “How good’s this girl? An absolute superstar and she’s slotted seamlessly into our group,” Brennan said of Greiser. “What a win by our girls today.”
Lion Sophie Conway had a shot at goal in the third term which missed to the right, but made up for it minutes later when using the breeze to snap a set shot from the boundary to tie the scores at the final break. North punished them for their profligacy with the Kangaroos kicking the first three goals of the final quarter.
