On Sunday 23 April, a St Kilda Women's team - comprising of the best undrafted AFLW talent from the AFL Women’s Southern Open-Age Academy - will play in the famous red, white and black on Etihad Stadium in a match against the Australian Defence Force All-Stars. This one-off exhibition match is St Kilda Football Club’s first foray into women’s football and reaffirms the club’s aspiration to be a part of the AFLW at the next available opportunity. The AFL Women’s Southern Open-Age Academy have been training at LHC since October 2016. The goal for many of the girls will be to be drafted to the AFLW and we hope that this is, for many, the start of a long association with the Saints. Lead by captain Dana de Bondt, the Saints will compete for the annual ANZAC Challenge Cup. Gates open at 12:30pm.
