AFL SOUTH EAST

On behalf of AFL South East, as administration via service agreement for the South Eastern Women’s competition, we welcome all players, coaches, support staff, umpires & football lovers as spectators to Kinetic Stadium for the 2023 Grand Finals.

Pearcedale and Mornington Reserves will meet for the fourth time this season, with the Dales victorious the last two outings, with a Round 1 occasion being a Draw. Will the Umpires be organising some extra time in the curtain raiser today?

If you are not able to be at the AFLW & VFL venue, we hope you tune in to our Livestream via social media to watch some cracking games of football between Mornington & Frankston in the Premier Division, while Pearcedale meet Mornington again in Division 2 https://www.aflsoutheast.com.au/sewf-media/sewflive-streams

To all who contributed to our great game through this competition, we thank you for being a part of our AFL South East community and the role that you all play.

This is the pinnacle of our Season and we thank our commercial partners in SKINS Compression, WorkSafe, TAC, Rookie Me & GameFace for their continued support of the SEWF and partnerships in 2023.

As staff we thank Rod Hamilton for his efforts in 2023 for his administration, support, and a for several seasons being a continued advocate for this area of our Senior Football competitions in Female participation as our Women’s Football Coordinator.

Both matches on the program look to be classics, with Frankston in Premier Division looking to peak at the right time following 2 Finals Wins, taking on a Mornington Senior team that has not seen defeat since the middle of June.

Good luck to all involved on such a wonderful occasion and we thank all our football community for their efforts during the Home & Away and Finals Series.

I have no doubt that those who unfortunately are on the wrong side of the ledger will be back in 2024 hungrier than ever and whoever finishes today with silverware will be more than deserving.

DIVISION TWO MORNINGTON 14 years ago I was part of the AFL introducing Women’s Football to the Men’s AFL games.

We were selected alongside other women’s teams in the competition to do a lap of the MCG prior to the AFL Queens Birthday Weekend game between Melbourne and Collingwood.

What a massive thing this day was in the movement of women’s football. I still remember the hype and the buzz, what a time to be a part of. Women’s footy was on the up and it was so bloody massive to experience what we did.

Fast forward to now and I am so proud and overwhelmed by the growth of women’s footy and where it is at.

Women’s footy is bloody huge not just in Australia but all over the world and we are still moving forward everyday with it.

I am so proud to be a part of Mornington Women’s Football Club, three teams across three divisions. This year all three teams made finals with two of our teams advancing to this weeks Grand Finals on Sunday.

I’ve come from having to kick a footy around on the boundary of the boys games alone because I wasn’t “allowed” to play, to then playing in the women’s comp, coaching in the women’s comp, coaching the Auskick, the junior boys and senior men’s. I was selected as the junior inter league coach that had now famous male AFL stars in the team, I’ve played in comps with minimal teams to comps with multiple divisions, been selected to play for our state team, played alongside and against now famous women’s AFL players.

I’ve played in multiple finals, played in multiple grand finals, lost some but have won most!

28 seasons of playing women’s footy and this year our team made finals but unfortunately we didn’t get to proceed to the Grand Final Shattered but that’s ok.

We still have our two other teams in Grand Finals!!

The excitement, the nerves, the sleepless nights, the feeling of wonder, the hopefulness and the dreaming of being victorious once that final siren goes at the end of the games on Sunday still has the same passion and energy I had every other year I was lucky enough to be involved with women’s footy.

Good luck to all our players on Sunday, thank you to all the players that helped throughout the season to get our teams to this Sunday, thank you to the coaches and the volunteers who put excessive amounts of time, effort, energy and dedication in throughout the season. Thank you to the Mornington Football Netball Club for allowing us as women to be a part of “one” club and the ongoing support.

Thank you to all the partners, families, friends and colleagues that have supported our players throughout the season.

If you need a new and exciting way to celebrate Father’s Day this year, get on down to Frankston Kinetic Park and support our Div 2 and Div 1 teams playing in Grand Finals.

Wear your Red White & Blue and let everyone know you’re there to support our girls!!

DIVISION TWO PEARCEDALE What a Season for the Pearcedale Womens Football Team.

A year of growth from what was a difficult season in 2022. With a big pre season training load behind them, the Players and Coaches worked extremely hard week by week to nail down a style of play that could get them to the Finals Series.

The Squad of 30 players applied themselves and made wonderful progress as the Season rolled on. Injuries gave opportunities to every player to showcase their skills and competition for spots was healthy.

One of the highlights for the playing group was the one off appearance of former AFLW Richmond Star Courtney Wakefield who put on a stellar performance in a Friday Night Blockbuster against Mornington.

The last few rounds of the home and away season saw us matched up against teams all in the hunt for top spot which went all the way down to the final round.

A top effort from the Pearcedale Girls in locking away the Minor Premiership but that now fades into the distance as we look to take out the Premiership Trophy against our closest rival in Mornington.

Its taken the entire squad to get us to this point and the sad point for us is that not everyone gets to run out on the day but importantly, we are standing by each other to the end.

We anticipate that this will be a cracker of a game between the top 2 Teams in what will be a fantastic day for Womens Football on the Peninsula.
