EFWFC Talent on the big Stage

Saturday’s AFLW spectacle at Optus Stadium is an exciting time for women’s football and particularly for East Fremantle.

Eight former Sharks have been named in the squads, seven of which are pulling on the boots for the Dockers. Collingwood player, Caitlin Edwards will have to face her previous team mates in front of one of the largest crowds in Perth. While Ruby Schleicher has been listed as an emergency, which could take the number to nine. Brianna Green will miss the match through injury.

 An astounding 54,000 tickets have been sold ahead of the match, a number set to smash the current AFLW crowd attendance record of 24,500 achieved in the 2017 season opener in Victoria.

All the best to the players!
