Ground-breaking Gold Coast: Suns make AFLW finals for a second time
Chloe Scheer (left) and Julia Crockett-Grills of the Cats celebrate. Credit: Getty Against the Hawks, they controlled ball movement from the get-go, kicking four goals straight to open the match and keeping their opposition goalless to half-time.
Chloe Scheer was once again the star in front of goals with three majors, while the Cats finished with seven individual goalkickers. Georgie Prespakis (35 touches, eight clearances) and Amy McDonald (23 touches, eight clearances) were a formidable midfield duo, while the retiring Renee Garing had a whopping 11 tackles. Overall, it was a strong team effort from a side that will be hungry for a finals win. Last year, the Cats had an impressive home-and-away run but bowed out narrowly in an elimination final to North Melbourne. Geelong young defender Rebecca Webster told this masthead earlier in the week how important the home crowd is for them come knockout finals.

Ground-breaking Gold Coast: Suns make AFLW finals for a second time
Suns secure finals spot AAP Unsung hero Lucy Single has helped Gold Coast book their second AFLW finals appearance with a 14-point win over Essendon. Losing midfield powerhouse Charlie Rowbottom to an ankle injury proved no obstacle in the Suns’ maiden clash with the Bombers, as they finished the regular season in fifth spot after a 6.3 (39) to 3.7 (25) victory to kick off pride round at Great Barrier Reef Arena on Friday.
While their men’s side have yet to make a finals appearance, this is the second time Gold Coast’s women have clinched a play-off spot, having also done so in the cancelled 2020 season. Single filled the massive Rowbottom-size gap, collecting 25 disposals and six clearances in her prolific performance across the field while also playing a crucial tagging role on Maddy Prespakis. Coast with the most: Georgia Clayden of the Suns celebrates after kicking a goal.

Craft beer and cheese boxes: Swans tap into something ‘uniquely Sydney’ to draw AFLW crowds | Jack Snape
Quince paste and hand-picked grapes have played a part in helping the Sydney Swans launch themselves to the top of the AFLW attendance charts, less than two years after their first match in the women’s league.
The Swans play their final home match of the regular season this weekend with an average attendance of 4,365 from four games so far – 124 more than the next best club Adelaide – and a marquee pride match against Collingwood at Henson Park to come on Sunday where a crowd in excess of 4,000 is expected.
The club’s focus has been to target local communities and make match days compelling for fans on and off the field, according to executive GM of marketing at the Swans, Loretta Johns.
“Our team has put a lot of work into sourcing some wonderful food offerings, entertainment and activities for kids, while we’ve had a local focus in promoting our games,” she said.

The Swans forward Bella Smith said the players were proud of the club’s attendance record, and were grateful for the support.

The league enjoyed strong attendances in round one, which were partly attributed to the so-called Matildas effect, but some clubs have struggled to attract fans in large numbers this season.

Livingstone said the “green and gold fever” associated with the Women’s World Cup was a one-off and the AFL has plans in place for long-term growth. “We’ll continue to keep building the base and keep building the foundations and have it not just strong at year seven, season eight, but strong for generations to come.”
In a bid to improve the spectacle of the AFLW, the league introduced longer quarters this year and an interchange cap to help increase scoring.

In a bid to improve the spectacle of the AFLW, the league introduced longer quarters this year and an interchange cap to help increase scoring. The effect, according to Livingstone, has been positive.
“We’ve increased game time by eight minutes per match, on average, and we’ve had record scores across the rounds,” she said. “Whereas leading into the season we hadn’t scored more than 100 goals in a round, we’ve regularly been scoring over 100 goals in a round.”
The Swans recorded their highest total last round, in their 14-12-96 to 6-3-39 defeat of the Western Bulldogs, the league’s winless bottom side. Molloy recorded 17 score involvements to set a new AFLW mark.

“We’ll continue to keep building the base and keep building the foundations and have it not just strong at year seven, season eight, but strong for generations to come.”

‘Latin artists have been paving the way for deals that offer more control, transparency, and better economics.’
MBW’s World Leaders is a regular series in which we turn the spotlight toward some of the most influential industry figures overseeing key international markets. In this feature, we speak to Alejandra Olea, Managing Director, Americas at Believe. World Leaders is supported by PPL.
There is no mistaking the global music biz’s biggest breakthrough independent hit of the past few months.
Spanish artist Iñigo Quintero’s Si No Estás rose to the top of Spotify‘s Global Top 50 in late October – and has stubbornly refused to leave the upper reaches of digital charts ever since. (Even amongst the early December onslaught of Christmas standards in Spotify’s flagship global chart, the Spanish-language track currently remains comfily snuggled in at No.7.)
To date, having only been released on September 23, Si No Estás has racked up over 330 million plays on Spotify, and over 100 million on YouTube.

How did it end up distributed by Believe via Acqustic?
Believe’s strength is our presence across 50 countries around the world. By deploying local teams on the ground, we are fully part of the local music scenes, and are able to identify the labels and artists with the most potential. So locally, our team’s role is to select local artists and labels to partner with and accompany them in their development.

‘Latin artists have been paving the way for deals that offer more control, transparency, and better economics.’
This last element is particularly important, and truly one of Believe’s strengths: being able to mobilize our teams multi-locally and globally to accompany audience development for our artists. We expect this is only the beginning for Iñigo Quintero and also anticipate many more successes like his in the future.
