Round five was the first ever Indigenous round in the AFLW and it did not disappoint. 

Collingwood are the only undefeated side and continued to show why they are a real premiership threat this season. 

Richmond finally broke through with a history breaking first AFLW win. 

The match of the round was the last game between two winless sides, the West Coast Eagles and the Gold Coast Suns with it going down to the wire.

It was anyone's game in the dying minutes of the match, as the West Coast Eagles recorded their maiden victory this season by a point over Gold Coast Suns on Sunday at Mineral Resources Park.

For the Eagles, it is their second victory in its AFLW history and it is their highest ever AFLW score. 

The Eagles' Mikayla Bowen announced herself to the rest of the competition with her 21 disposals (67 percent efficiency), three tackles and a goal.

Round 4 saw three games without international players and three international players out with injury, but one exciting debut and another player back on the lists.

Changes to the configuration of elite women’s football in Victoria will for the first time see a full talent pathway program with the NAB League Girls, VFLW and AFLW competitions being played at the same time.

Ahead of Round 1 of the 2020 VFLW season this weekend we take a look at the international players that have landed list spots of five clubs.  In an open border situation with no Covid-19 issues, we could have expected more international talent in the VFLW.  Players such as April Lewis, Clara Fitzpatrick, Erin McLaughlin, and Jess Blecher are just a few who were on VFLW lists in 2019 who are not back in Melbourne to play.

After round four, only Fremantle and Collingwood remain undefeated. 

Collingwood showed the rest of the competition that they are a strong premiership threat after they made light work of North Melbourne. 

For the first time in Collingwood's AFLW history, they have had a 4-0 start to the season. 

The match of the round was the Brisbane Lions and the Adelaide Crows, the match went down to the wire and Erin Phillips at 35-years-old showed us why she is the best with four goals.

Phillips proved the diference in the match, as the Lions were unable to stop her impact in the contest.

An entertaining match and a match where the Crows were determined to show that they are still a force to be reckoned with after their reality check last week at the hands of the Dockers. 

Western Bulldogs recorded their third consecutive win with a 13-point victory over Melbourne at Whitten Oval on Sunday afternoon. 

It was the Demons first loss of 2021 season and the Bulldogs secured the Hampson-Hardeman Cup.

Dogs champion Ellie Blackburn capped off a terrific play slotting through a classy running goal at the start of the final quarter to secure the win over a flat Dees side. 

It was an uncharacteristic performance from the Dees and they would feel dissapointed about how their afternoon eventuated down at Footscray in the west of Melbourne. 

Up until the main break, Melbourne were their own worst enemy, as they had a lot of the ball inside 50 but they could not get reward for effort. 

Round 3 demonstrated the need for flexibility in the 2021 season, as several games were changes last minute and only one of the Victoria games was played with crowds.
