The Footscray Bulldogs were defeated by the Brisbane Lions in a thriller at Marvel Stadium on Thursday afternoon.
The AFL-listed duo were Footscray’s only goal-scorers in the second half, as the Lions crept up from behind to claim the victory by eight points. In the second term, the Lions began to pick up momentum but were quickly overrun by a brilliant goal from Joel Garner with a 50-metre set-shot. It seemed the soccer game played at Marvel two nights prior left something in the air, as Rhylee West soccered his second goal off the ground, and then again kicking his third goal to give the Bulldogs a 26-point lead heading into half-time. A magnificent mark from AFL-listed player Sam Darcy in the forward line put the Dogs’ on the scoreboard early in the game. The Bulldogs welcomed the visitors by kicking off round 2 of the VFL season with seven goals in the opening quarter, and held the lead until the final term - when the Lions ran away 13.7 (85) to 14.9 (93) victors.

Chloe Leonard has taken charge of the Cats' VFLW side in 2023.
The Cats VFLW side kicked off their season last Saturday, in a tough battle with North Melbourne at Deakin University Elite Sports Precinct. Charlotte Simpson booted two of the Cats three goals, while others such as Abbey McDonald, Analea McKee and Poppy Schaap stood out with their composure and skill. We gave it 100% right to the final siren, which was really promising and pleasing to see,” she said. “I think we’re only going to get better; we had nine debutants and two who hadn’t played for a very long time at VFL level. Geelong gained a number of AFLW experienced players during the off-season such as Poppy Schaap from Carlton, while Abby Favell and Sarah Perrott made the move from the Box Hill Hawks. “It’s just the characters of the girls, everyone gets around one another and tries to keep the positivity at training.
