On behalf of Women Leaders by the Circle, together with SportsConnect, we are delighted to announce our annual AFL Grand Final ‘Ladies with Legends’ Champagne Breakfast.
Now in its 4th year, we will once again return to the MCG on the eve of the AFL Grand Final on Wednesday 23 September 2026, bringing together more than 260 incredible women and leaders for one of the most uplifting mornings of Grand Final Week. It’s always such a warm, energising room, and this year’s conversation will centre on leadership, resilience, legacy and the moments that shape us both on and off the field.
The morning includes champagne on arrival, a premium breakfast, and a fantastic line-up of AFL legends and leaders including:
Christine Holgate | Former Director of the Collingwood Football Club and Collingwood Community Foundation
Laura Kane | Executive General Manager AFLW, Health and Football Operations at the AFL
Ian Prendergast | Executive Director of Sports Advisory Partners Australia and respected sports executive, lawyer and adviser
Kate Roffey AM | Former President of the Melbourne Football Club, CEO of the Victorian State Sport Centres
Moderated by AFL Legend, Robert “Dipper” DiPierdomenico
