Baxter found balance in Panthers, state experiences
TOP-AGE AFL Women’s draft prospect Lily Baxter did not mind the extra time or energy it took to juggle her footballing commitments between South Adelaide and South Australia over the last couple of years, with the hard-running utility more “sad” when she couldn’t be part of training at either. While now studying occupational therapy at […]
Consistency key in Suns’ season finale
GOLD Coast AFL Women’s coach Rhyce Shaw has no intentions of “throwing the magnets around” in a bid to snatch four points off the 16th placed Tigers in the last round of the AFLW season. The Suns have just one win to their name to-date and are coming up against the two-win Tigers, but Shaw […]
Connected Magpies eclipse Suns

FINALS spots were earned and others dashed in an intriguing weekend of action. Here’s what the 18 AFL Women’s coaches had to say following their respective Round 11 matches.

Lions roar into double chance
BRISBANE gained valuable bragging rights over Melbourne in a Round 11 clash of heavyweights in what could very well end up one of the qualifying finals in under a fortnight’s time. The Lions made it half a dozen wins on the trot, but it was really the litmus test for the reigning grand finalists who […]
Hawks workrate the difference
AFTER a somewhat sluggish start, Hawthorn booked its top four spot with an impressive five-goal win over Essendon at Windy Hill on the weekend. The brown and gold were technically in front at half-time by four points after being level at quarter time, but the general feeling was that Essendon had the upper hand in […]
Swans show faith as Privitelli, Cooper deliver
SYDNEY showed it has the depth to get the job done without Chloe Molloy after overcoming a West Coast outfit battling with its own gun midfielder/forward Ella Roberts being a late out. As the two sides duked it out in what could be a finals-shaping match, the Swans took away the four points with a […]
Port Powers to maiden Showdown win
PORT Adelaide has broken the Showdown shackles in the AFL Women’s competition after downing Adelaide by seven points in a “spicy” contest at Norwood Oval on Friday night. Needing to win to give themselves the slimmest of chances for finals, Port Adelaide held off a determined Crows outfit to get up , 7.10 (52) to […]
