Dees AFLW team make the Grand Final
A big congratulations to Melbourne’s AFLW team for securing a spot in the 2022 NAB AFLW Grand Final against Adelaide this Saturday 9 April!
The competition is only 5 years old, so this will be the first time Melbourne has made the AFLW Grand Final, and if they take out the win on Saturday, MFC will be the first club in history to hold both the AFL & AFLW Premierships concurrently.
We are proud to be Co-Principal Partner of Melbourne Football Club’s AFL and AFLW teams - the whole team at Zurich will be cheering on the women this Saturday! Go Dees!
Cheers,
Kieran.
