Two-time defending AFLW premiers North Melbourne have made an ominous start to the new season with a 73-point thumping of Geelong.

Geelong, with renewed enthusiasm under new coach, former Melbourne boss Mick Stinear, went with the Kangaroos for the first quarter and a half.

Darren Crocker's North piled on four unanswered goals late in the second term and never looking back, kicking away for a 15.10 (100) to 3.9 (27) victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.

See what Cats coach Mick Stinear had to say following Geelong's season opening clash with North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon

If we fell over, if we missed a kick or missed a mark, they are a very good score from turnover team. I think it was 12.7 they scored from that source.

That is credit to them and the environment they created, I feel like there was a lot of things within that which were in our control and that we can improve on.

It doesn't feel like we were just flat out beaten by a better team and that there is no chance to ever improve.

Walker’s Gather Round plea

Taylor Walker has weighed in on Gather Round as it returns to SA for a fourth year.

Adelaide forward Taylor Walker has made a plea to the AFL to continue hosting Gather Round in South Australia.

This season’s Gather Round was officially launched on Wednesday, marking the final year of the current hosting agreement of all nine games being played in SA.

Speaking at the launch at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital alongside Carlton’s Harry McKay, Walker said Gather Round had been a huge success and South Australia should retain it.

“We are pretty chuffed that we’ve been able to have it for four years, and hopefully we can get a deal done for a long period of time,” Walker said.
