IT’S GAME ON for the Sydney Swans to be part of the AFLW competition.
Today, we launch our bid to be part of Season 7, commencing in late 2022.
We are calling on all our members and fans to back our AFLW bid by registering their support here. Every name will help us demonstrate that our people are right behind our AFLW team and are ready to see them in action next year.
Over the coming weeks, you will see across our Swans channels a wide range of people endorsing and throwing their support behind our bid. These will include past and present players, their daughters, ambassadors, fans, community and grassroots players and corporate partners.
While our bid launches today, our journey to be part of AFLW commenced in earnest many years ago, when we made the decision to commit to a girl’s academy to provide a pathway for this very opportunity.
There are now 299 girls engaged in our QBE Sydney Swans Academy program, from under 12s, right through to draft age this year.
The launch of the Sydney Swans AFLW team is a significant milestone in the history of the Club.
Back our bid and be part of our march into AFLW. It will be an exciting ride.
It’s game on.
Cheer cheer,
Tom Harley
Chief Executive

"I would do it again in a heartbeat" - Hansen
The Sydney Swans in collaboration with the Dreamd Academy invited Doreena Hansen for a week of Swans training, all the way from Alice Springs. Dreamd Academy is an AFLW academy founded by Sydney Swan Lulu Pullar with the aim to empower AFLW athletes to share their knowledge with remote indigenous kids and connect with community in the NT. Pullar worked alongside Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks organisers Ian McAdam, Rob Clarke and Darren Talbot to help bring the Dreamtime Academy to life, providing organisational support, equipment and helping run the clinics. The Swans also work alongside the Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Program for our annual NT Tour with the ARA First Nations Academy creating nice synergy between the 3 programs.
