North Melbourne Wins First AFLW Premiership Unbeaten

North Melbourne Kangaroos clinched their first AFLW premiership with a commanding 39-9 victory over the Brisbane Lions, marking a historic unbeaten season for the club. The match, held at Ikon Park, showcased North Melbourne's dominance in both offense and defense, with Jasmine Garner delivering a standout performance garnering 35 disposals and earning the Best on Ground award. Vikki Wall contributed significantly to the win, scoring two goals, while Alice O'Loughlin added another three. This victory is a reversal from last year's loss to the same opponents and signals a rejuvenation for a club that hasn't seen premiership success in the men's competition since 1999. The win was celebrated by fans who had long awaited a return to glory, and it has also generated discussions about the venue of future AFLW Grand Finals. Key players like Emma Kearney, who overcame a hamstring injury to lead her team, expressed immense pride in the team's achievements.
