North Melbourne are not resting on their laurels after claiming their first flag in AFLW history, adding new star power and rising talent.
The ink may still be drying on the North Melbourne players' premiership tattoos, but the club is not resting on its laurels after claiming its first AFLW flag last month.
After being held to just one goal in the grand final, Brisbane coach Craig Starcevich conceded they were "pressured into submission" by North Melbourne.Exmouth-born Mim Strom's record-breaking AFLW season has earned her plenty of plaudits, but women footballers in her home town are struggling to play competitive footy.
Opposition sides struggled to find a way through skipper Emma Kearney, Erika O'Shea and Nicole Bresnehan patrolling half back. And if they did, Jasmine Ferguson, Sarah Wright and Libby Birch were there waiting as the deepest trio. It could prove an important pick-up for the Magpies, who finished bottom of the ladder after just the one win.
