    Full AFLW R1 preview: Footy's BACK with blockbusters galore

    AFLW season 2022 has rocketed out of the blocks, with the Western Derby and Grand Final rematch headlining round one

    AFTER a long preseason, fourteen AFLW teams head into round one looking to kick their 2022 season off with a bang. 

    GET YOUR TICKETS Why you must secure your seat in advance

    With the coveted Hampson-Hardeman Cup between the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne, the Western Derby and a Grand Final rematch all taking place this weekend, there aren't just premiership points on the line, but also plenty of bragging rights. 

    Friday, January 7

    St Kilda v Richmond at Skybus Stadium, 7.15pm AEDT

    • St Kilda was known for being tough to score against in its inaugural season, but as it attempted to become more attacking in 2021 its defence loosened up and the side conceded 15 more points each game than it did the previous year. The balance between defence and attack will be important for the Saints this season, and round one is their first chance to find it. 
    • Richmond, however, was able to do the opposite, conceding two fewer goals each game while almost doubling its own score in 2021 compared to the year before. The developing depth the Tigers have on each line will be challenging to contain across a full four quarters. 
    • Tip: While last time they met the Saints were able to keep the Tigers goalless (the first goalless performance in the competition's history) the story is likely to be very different this time around. With some real talent missing from St Kilda's squad, Richmond is in the box seat. Tigers by 30.

    Saturday, January 8

    North Melbourne v Geelong at Arden Street Oval, 5.10pm AEDT

    • North Melbourne is one of the most prolific scoring sides the competition has seen, averaging 40+ points for each season since joining the competition in 2019 - the only side to have done so. While the forward line might look a little different this year, it will be equally hard to contain. And who could forget Emma King's three goal first quarter the last time these two sides met in round one last year? 
    • While the Roos can pile on scores, Geelong are at the other end of the scale. In 2021 the Cats were the second-worst scoring side the competition has seen, averaging 18.2 points per game, but they have certainly recruited depth all over the field in an effort to fix the problem. 
    • Tip: Expect to see a more free-flowing Geelong this weekend, but North Melbourne's clean kick-mark game will be too much to handle. Roos by 25.

    Fremantle v West Coast at Fremantle Oval, 5.50pm AWST

    • Fremantle's forward line will be without two of its three highest goal kickers this season in Sabreena Duffy and Ashley Sharp, so will be reliant on some fresh faces to support Gemma Houghton and Gabby O'Sullivan. How well, and how quickly, that forward line finds chemistry will dictate Fremantle's fortunes. 
    • West Coast has had a strong contested ball game since its inaugural season thanks to the recruitment of Dana Hooker and Emma Swanson. What it has struggled to do, however, is efficiently transition to outside ball movement and continue to control the footy once the clearance is won. As their scratch match showed, this is something the Eagles have worked on over the preseason, and young trio Mikayla Bowen, Bella Lewis and Charlie Thomas are leading that charge. 
    • Tip: Fremantle is yet to lose a match for points against their cross-town rivals, but this Western Derby is shaping to be the closest yet. Fremantle by two points.

    Western Bulldogs v Melbourne at VU Whitten Oval, 7.00pm AEDT

    • Last time these two sides faced off, Melbourne enjoyed periods of control, but it was the Dogs who took their chances in front of goal and eventually prevailed. The young Western Bulldogs list is highly athletic and will look to run-and-gun, using their hands through the middle of the ground to get the ball moving forward. 
    • Melbourne has stockpiled a host of tall, agile forwards in their tilt at the 2022 flag. The Demons come into the year as the tallest side in the competition, while the Dogs are the fourth shortest. Adding Tayla Harris and Georgia Campbell to Shelley Scott, Jackie Parry, Kate Hore and Alyssa Bannan will provide the Demons with plenty of flexibility in the forward half of the ground and will likely stretch the Dogs' defence and keep them on their toes. 
    • Tip: While the sides won't just be after the four points, but the Hampson-Hardeman Cup as well, the Demons look ready to hit the ground running. Melbourne by 10 points.

    Adelaide v Brisbane at Flinders University Stadium, 1.40pm ACDT

    • In the head-to-head, Brisbane leads Adelaide 4-2, while each side has enjoyed a Grand Final victory over the other. Both teams are experienced and well-drilled, setting up well behind the ball to make the ground small and retain territory and for this reason, matches between the Crows and Lions come with significant momentum shifts from quarter to quarter and moment to moment. 
    • Brisbane won its premiership off the back of pressure, one-percenters, and team-first actions. The Lions know when to take possession, or when to tap the ball along to a teammate, which makes them tough to defend through the middle of the ground, and a hard team to tackle. 
    • Tip: While you can never write off the Crows, Brisbane looks so settled on every line and unpredictable in-game. Lions by four points.

    Carlton v Collingwood at Ikon Park, 4.10pm AEDT

    • Carlton's focal point up forward will dictate its method of attack. Recruits Jess Good and Imogen Milford have the skills to be big key forward targets for the talented Darcy Vescio, Nicola Stevens and Georgia Gee to work off, but it would be a baptism by fire against a tough Collingwood backline. The Blues just need to equal the aerial ball so the ground-level players can get to work. 
    • The rebounding game of both sides will play a big part in the result of this game. Carlton's defence is spearheaded by captain Kerryn Harrington who is one of the best ball-users in the competition (averaging 80 per cent disposal efficiency over the last two seasons), while the breakthrough of Ruby Schleicher last year saw a change in how the Pies chose to exit defence, running the ball more often than the usual long kick out of Stacey Livingstone. 
    • Tip: While the Blues will be looking to rectify their poor start to last year's season, Collingwood has top-level talent on every line and should be able to get the job done for the third time running. Pies by 10 points.

    Gold Coast v Greater Western Sydney at Great Barrier Reef Arena, 5.10pm AEST

    • With Maddison Levi inactive this season and Kalinda Howarth ready for a stint in defence, Sarah Perkins needs some real support in the forward line if the Suns are to avoid another winless season. The agile Tori Groves-Little looks a chance to step up in that area, able to win the ball, evade, and find the goals. 
    • In their five seasons, the Giants have started the year with a win just once—in 2020 against a newly-minted Gold Coast. This weekend is a real chance for GWS to really kick start its season, while unveiling some talented recruits in the process. 
    • Tip: Gold Coast's interrupted recent weeks is tough to ignore, and while the Giants have also had their issues, they should come away with their second ever round one win. Giants by 20 points.

    Superstar's knee injury sours Magpies' win over arch-rivals

    Collingwood defeats Carlton in their round one clash at Ikon Park

    A SUSPECTED serious knee injury to Collingwood superstar Brianna Davey has soured a strong win over arch-rivals Carlton at Ikon Park on Sunday.

    Davey went down late in the fourth term while attempting a change of direction to lay a tackle.

    Collingwood's 19-point win was punctuated not only by Davey's injury, but three goals from 50m penalties thanks to some undisciplined acts from the Blues in the 6.8 (44) to 3.7 (25) result.

    06:06

    Collingwood coach Steve Symonds said it was premature to say Davey had suffered her second career ACL tear.

    "A little bit of mixed emotions for everyone at the moment," Symonds said post-match.

    "Fingers crossed it's positive news for her, but at this stage, it's still a little bit too early to say."

    BLUES v MAGPIES Full match coverage and stats

    A vocal crowd of 3,511 watched on as Carlton got off to a strong start, snatching an early goal from a clever Lucy McEvoy rove off the pack, but after that Collingwood took control of the game.

    Cleverly using the ball by foot, the Pies looked to attack through the corridor and provide their bolstered forward line with plenty of opportunity.

    00:43

    Jaimee Lambert and Sarah Rowe starred for the Pies, winning 22 and 21 disposals respectively, while pressure across the ground forced poor ball movement from the Blues.

    Carlton often looked to long, high kicks inside 50, playing right into the hands of Stacey Livingstone, Ruby Schleicher and Lauren Butler who mopped up and rebounded all day.

    Midfielder Grace Egan was also felled at the start of the second quarter, copping a knee to the back while courageously going back with the flight of the ball, and will head for precautionary scans.

    An unfortunate blow 
    Collingwood had the game tied up with less than five minutes remaining when co-captain and competition best and fairest winner Brianna Davey planted her foot and fell to the ground. The star previously tore her ACL in 2018 when playing for the Blues and had a knowing look of devastation on her face immediately. 

    01:59

    Undisciplined acts 
    Carlton will be ruing lazy errors leading to three straight goals for the Pies off the back of 50m penalties. With one minute remaining in the first half, Darcy Vescio fell victim to the new stand rule, putting Ruby Schleicher in the goalsquare for the easiest of goals. Thirty seconds later, Elise O'Dea failed to return the ball on the full to ex-teammate Alison Downie, which saw Downie kick her 10th straight goal after the siren. O'Dea was again the culprit halfway through the third, with Aishling Sheridan guided to the goalsquare by the umpires. 

    The roar of the crowd 
    There might have been just over 3,000 fans in the house, but it certainly felt louder. With every crunching tackle, umpiring decision and goal kicked, the stands erupted. None more so than for each of Courtney Jones and Abbie McKay's first goals in the AFLW. Both kicked toward the Blues' cheer squad, the roar was deafening. 

    00:39

    What's next? 
    Carlton will travel north to take on the smarting Brisbane Lions who have their own raft of injury concerns, while Collingwood will host St Kilda at Victoria Park. 

    CARLTON                     1.0     1.2     3.4     3.7     (25)
    COLLINGWOOD          0.4     3.6     4.7     6.8     (44)
