Sydney Swans secure first home final as Molloy breaks AFLW goal record
Chloe Molloy kicked 4 goals and broke the AFLW season record, leading Sydney to a 37-36 win and their first home final.
Molloy produced a goalkicking display for the ages in Sunday's 37-36 win over Fremantle at Cockburn ARC Oval. Chloe Molloy's four goals accounted for nearly all of Sydney's scoring in the tight contest.
The 27 goals she kicked across the season surpassed the previous AFLW record and confirmed her as the league's sharpest finisher in 2026. With Fremantle charging late, Molloy took a crucial mark in the final quarter to seal the win.
The victory meant Sydney clinched its first-ever home AFLW final, hosting the Western Bulldogs next week. Sydney coach Colin O'Riordan called Molloy a generational talent, praising her weekly preparation and the work others do not see.
The win came at a cost when Caitlin Reid suffered a head injury from a clash with Hayley Miller and went to hospital for assessment.
