The Night Australia Roared

On February 4, 2017 a stadium overflowed as fans were turned away after the gates had to be locked at a sporting event that changed Australia forever.

In this sixth and final episode of ROAR Sam Lane takes listeners inside AFLW’s opening night, re-living the audible, visual and tangible power of that monumental competition launch game.

You’ll hear the passion and emotion of Debbie Lee, Peggy O’Neal, Colin Carter and the AFL’s Commission chairman of the day, Mike Fitzpatrick as the ROAR of that unforgettable night lives on.

ROAR was recorded in Melbourne, Victoria, where the traditional owners of the land are the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I acknowledge these traditional custodians and pay my respects to Wurundjeri Elders past and present.
