AFLW season set to kick off with a bang

The new AFLW season is nearly here and there are plenty of big names and storylines to keep an eye on in 2022.

Footy is back with the sixth season of AFLW kicking off on January 5 when St Kilda and Richmond do battle at SkyBus Stadium in Frankston.

To celebrate, News Corp will publish an eight-page liftout available in all the metro papers on January 2 featuring interviews with Melbourne stalwart Daisy Pearce, who reveals her dream of a premiership is still alive.

Pending Covid interruptions, the liftout also includes the full AFLW draw and an exclusive interview with star Tayla Harris, who has recently qualified as a marriage celebrant.

As one of the most recognisable faces in the AFLW, Harris — who took a stand against online trolls who targeted a photo of her in full flight — is ready to talk about her great loves in life including footy and family.

All this and more in the January 2 liftout, exclusive to News Corp papers.

The AFLW season will consist of 10 home and away rounds and three weeks of finals live with no ad breaks siren to siren on FOX FOOTY, available on Foxtel and Kayo.
