The AFLW season has kicked off with the Collingwood Magpies claiming a 5.3 (33) to 4.3 (27) win over Carlton.
But before the game, the teams gathered together to share a minute of silence for Jacinda Barclay, the GWS Giants star who died in her Perth home in October 2020.
Barclay was an AFLW player, five-time World Cup baseballer and American football player with the outpouring of grief from the Australian sporting community.
She kicked 11 goals in 23 games and was described by her family after her death as a "shining comet that soared through this world casting her radiant light of love on all she met".
