Believe the game has been moved to Tullamarine due to concerns over the condition of Windy Hill.

Also 2.00pmstary instead of midday.


A champion team will always beat a team of champions.

Head coach Peta Searle said the historic win was due to hard work and perseverance.

“Williamstown came out each quarter and hit us hard for 10 minutes, but our girls were able to sustain that and keep going for 20 minutes,” she said.

“If you look at it, you’d probably see that we scored more heavily in the bottom half of each quarter than the top half, and that’s just the result of the girls’ resilience and ability to grind it out.”

Despite the win, Searle maintains that the Southern Saints are less concerned with results, and more with commitment to processes and effort.

“The girls have put in a lot and I think they deserve to have the win because of the preseason that they’ve had and all the running they’ve done,” Searle said.

“What we want the girls to do is, regardless of outcomes and results, we know every one of them has something special and as long as they keep believing in what they’ve got, that’s the main thing.”

Kettleball anyone- sounds brutal
http://www.saints.com.au/news/2018-05-1 ... hern-saint
Ali Drennan
Ali Drennan has emerged as one to watch in the Southern Saints’ inaugural VFLW season.

The midfielder was the catalyst for her side’s historic first win against Williamstown last Sunday, amassing 35 touches and kicking the sealer in a performance that has the competition on watch.

Drennan’s game out of the middle was so dominant that the next highest possession-winner had 15 less than the exciting Saint.

But what’s the secret to Drennan’s early success?

Southern Saints' historic first win

Outside of footy, Drennan works as a personal trainer, and boasts the unusual title of Australian record-holder for the Kettlebell half marathon.

“Kettlebell’s for people who really enjoy pain,” she said matter-of-factly.

The Kettlebell half marathon is a 30-minute long slog, where competitors swing the bell up, catch it at chest height, then press it above their head, and repeat that sequence as many times as possible.

“I did the 30-minute half marathon, and that was brutal,” Drennan told saints.com.au.

southern saints 9.6.60
essendon 3.6.24

Sitting 5th, just above Darebin. Video stream is a bit scary! Step up from VFLW to AFLW looks to be much greater than VFL to AFL. Win's a win though!
