AFLW Round One Update: Fast Blues Too Good in Front of 8042 Fans; Snoop Dogg’s Potential AFLW Role

On August 14, 2025, Carlton Blues defeated Collingwood Magpies by 24 points in the AFLW season opener at Princes Park, Melbourne, echoing the competition's first game.
This match reflects back on the inaugural February 3, 2017 game between the same teams, which was a celebration of women's football and uncertain fan turnout.
The recent game featured significant absences for Collingwood due to injuries, including Bri Davey and Jordyn Allen, while Carlton displayed strong performances led by Mimi Hill and steady scoring.
Mimi Hill tallied 32 disposals with six clearances, Ash Centra kicked a goal with her first kick, and 8042 fans attended the match reflecting growing AFLW interest.
Carlton’s victory signals a strong start to the AFLW’s 10th season while Collingwood prepares to face GWS next, suggesting ongoing competition development and fan engagement.
