PREVIEW | 2025 AFL Sydney Women’s Premier: Round 11

A BATTLE between the top two sides and two winless sides brings about much anticipation in the AFL Sydney Women’s Premier Division season, while finals spots are up for grabs across the competition. Round 11 takes place tomorrow with the top three teams all in action. while one of Parramatta or Pennant Hills will at least get some premiership points to their name.
PENNANT HILLS DEMONS vs. PARRAMATTA GOANNAS
Saturday, June 28 @ 12:00pm
Mike Kenny Oval
The two league battlers go head-to-head at Mike Kenny Oval tomorrow with at least one side set to gain its first premiership points of the 2025 season. The Goannas are favourites despite a percentage of just 4.3, though in comparison to Pennant Hills’ 0.92 per cent it looks good. Both struggle to score and concede plenty, but are young and still developing. Watch for the talented youth to come to the fore in this one such as Marley Rhodes and Brea Trevitt for the Goannas, while the experience of Sheridan Baker is crucial down back for the Demons. Parramatta by four goals.
UNSW-ES BULLDOGS vs. UTS BATS
Saturday, June 28 @ 12:20pm
Henson Park
Expect a thrilling contest with very littler between these two sides. The Bats sit fifth just four points clear of the sixth placed Bulldogs, though the percentage gap means even a result for the home side will not be enough to take back the spot inside the finals race. Plenty of football remains though, so the Dogs will not want to slip eight points outside, though are tipped to get up by a point. Sera Kaukiono and Gabby Eaton are a couple of key talls for the Dogs, while the youth of the Bats – such as Aoife Berry and Sophia Gaukrodger – are ones to watch from UTS.
SYDNEY UNIVERSITY vs. MANLY WARRINGAH WOLVES
Saturday, June 28 @ 1:40pm
Sydney Uni No. 1 Oval
Manly Warringah Wolves are in fantastic form at the moment having won seven on the bounce since a first up loss to the Bombers. The second placed side takes on the only other team with just one loss to its name in Sydney University, though that happened last week when the Students went down to the Bats in a shock defeat. Emma Juneja and Amanda Farrugia have been in sensational form for the Students and will look to continue it here, while Isabella Rudolph is a goalkicking machine and Hannah Woolf a natural ball-winner. Manly by 17 points.
NORTH SHORE BOMBERS vs. ST GEORGE DRAGONS
Saturday, June 28 @ 3:50pm
Gore Hill Oval
The one obvious blowout of the weekend pits third placed North Shore Bombers up against the developing St George Dragons with the former having won four of the past five which all started with a 139-1 domination of the Dragons back in Round 5. Best on ground that day was Sophie Kavanagh who has returned to AFLW level so will not be there to worry about for the Dragons, but Heidi de Saxe and the Bombers’ youth such as Charlotte Tidemann will get another hitout before returning for the Allies. Given the Allies have the bye, Grace Parsons could be a fantastic inclusion for the Dragons. North Shore by around 16 goals.
Bye: East Coast Eagles
