Season 7 AFLW preview: Hawthorn
AS one of the four new expansion sides coming in to the AFLW season, there is a lot of mystery and not a whole lot of certainty around the Hawks ahead of this season. They have not had the hype surrounding them that many of the other expansion teams have had in the past few […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: GWS GIANTS
LAST season can only be described as a frustrating one for GWS GIANTS.

But with a new head […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: Gold Coast

Season 7 AFLW preview: Essendon
COMING into their maiden AFLW campaign, Essendon is one of the most intriguing sides coming into Season 7. As one of four expansion sides coming into the league this season, there are a lot of questions around the Bombers this year and not a whole lot to go off to answer said queries. They were […]
Clarke not resting on his laurels
DESPITE being in one of the most envied positions in the AFLW as the two time premiership coach of the reigning premiers, Adelaide coach Matthew Clarke is certainly not resting on his laurels coming into the new season.

Season 7 AFLW preview: Carlton
