"There was no expectation on us as a team (before the season). It was about improvement and development and that was my job as the senior coach of this side … we're improving week by week and that's all I can ask for. It sets us up going into next season with a young group that's improving week by week individually and as a team that, who knows, where it can go to? But that's where we're building and I'm excited about that."

– Collingwood coach Wayne Siekman

The Age
It appeared as though North Melbourne were going to run away with the game when they kicked the first two goals of the game but the Magpies did not yield. They fought back to kick the next two goals and it was an effort that represented the young Magpies' spirit during the game. Not only were the usual contributors in Ashleigh Brazill, Jaimee Lambert and Brittany Bonnici solid but the skills of youngsters Sarah Rowe, Darcy Guttridge and Jordyn Allen were outstanding whenever they won the ball. Although winless the Magpies hung in the game for three quarters against one of the premiership favourites.


Herald Sun
... Collingwood’s fortunes went from bad to worse, with a late run converting what could have been a devastating loss to a 22-point defeat at the hands of the competition’s favourites. Both teams warmed up in their Marvel gear and the Pies came out like superheroes, but were eventually brought undone by the villainous Roos who — despite having some trouble early — simply punished the winless Pies at the contest.

AFL News
NORTH Melbourne has kept alive its dream of capturing the AFL Women's premiership in its debut season with a comprehensive victory over winless Collingwood. ... North poured more misery on the Magpies, who lost stars Jess Duffin, Emma King, Jasmine Garner and Mo Hope to the new franchise in a devastating off-season blow.

Collingwood News
The Roos should have ended the game as a contest earlier than it did, but wayward goalkicking ensured Collingwood started the second half only 12 points down despite seven fewer scoring shots. However, any hope of a quick Magpie start in the third quarter was dashed when the prolific Jenna Bruton (19 disposals, six clearances) won another centre clearance to set up an immediate North Melbourne goal. ... The terrier-like Brittany Bonnici was Collingwood's best, winning a game-high 21 possessions and laying 10 tackles while blunting League medallist Emma Kearney's influence in the process.
