The third AFLW season has opened with two matches decided be a total of two points.

Scores were level with less than three minutes to play when the Cats' No.1 draft pick Nina Morrison won a free kick 20m from goal. Her shot hit the post but it was enough to deliver an emotional win in front of 18,429 fans at GMHBA Stadium.

In the second match of tonight's double-header, reigning premiers the Western Bulldogs got their premiership defence off to a perfect start by outlasting an innacurate Adelaide at Norwood Oval. Katie Brennan was the star with two goals.
