“IF WE BRING THAT LEVEL OF PRESSURE AND THAT LEVEL OF HEAT EVERY SINGLE WEEK, FINALS OR NO FINALS, IT STACKS UP,” – O’RIORDAN

“Finals or no finals it stacks up” - O’Riordan

AFLW Senior Coach Colin O’Riordan addresses the media off the back of an incredible Elimination Final win against the Western Bulldogs.

AFLW senior coach Colin O'Riordan believes that the way the team competed every weekend up until now has put the foundations down for a strong finals campaign and that the red and white can compete against any team they are matched up with.  

“We know we're a good pressure team and if we bring that level of pressure and that level of heat every single week, finals or no finals, it stacks up," O'Riordan said  

“We've designed a game plan that hopefully stacks up in big games, and it was nice to see it being tested last week and stood up in the big game. We still have a lot to work on, don't get me wrong. We're not the complete package by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a nice step in the right direction.” 

MOLLOY AND FISH NAMED IN ALL-AUSTRALIAN SQUAD 

Sydney Swans stars Chloe Molloy and Zippy Fish have been named in the 2026 AFLW All-Australian squad. 

For Molloy, the honour continues an outstanding career that has already seen her named in the final All-Australian team in 2018, 2021 and 2023. Fish, meanwhile, has been rewarded for another impressive campaign after being recognised in the extended squad last season.  

Molloy has once again been a driving force for the Swans in 2026, producing a dominant season up forward winning the AFLW's leading goalkicker award. Molloy's tally of 28 is the most in a single season, topping the 25 majors kicked by Port Adelaide's Indy Tahau last year. 

 Fish's selection in the squad caps a strong second season in defence, as she continues to establish herself as one of the most exciting players in the competition. 

 The AFLW All-Australian team will be formally announced at the W Awards later this month.
