West Coast Eagles players and coaches held a post-match press conference following their AFLW round ten game against Geelong. The match, played at Subiaco Oval in Perth, ended in a 13-10 victory for the Eagles. Geelong’s forward line struggled to break through the Eagles’ defense, with key player Eliza Hough scoring the opening goal.
The Eagles’ midfield dominance was a major factor in the win, with players like Shannon Hurn and Tahlia O’Leary controlling the tempo. Geelong’s coach, Chris Gavina, acknowledged the team’s defensive lapses but praised their resilience. “We showed character in the second half, but we need to be more consistent,” he said.
This win marks the Eagles’ third consecutive victory in the AFLW competition. Geelong, meanwhile, remains in the middle of the ladder after their first loss of the season. The match was the first time the two teams have faced each other this season, with the Eagles having previously defeated Geelong in round three.

The Eagles’ win adds to their growing confidence, while Geelong looks to bounce back in their next fixture against Adelaide. The league continues to attract growing media attention and fan engagement, with each round drawing larger crowds and more coverage.
