Season 7 AFLW preview: Fremantle
THOUGH Fremantle was thereabouts once again the AFL Women’s last season, the Dockers could not quite replicate the 2020 season, which in many ways will be a hard one to forget.

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. Although they are the hunted again this season, Clarke noted how “every season is a new adventure” […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: Carlton
AFTER showing glimpses last season, and although they were technically in the finals race until the final few weeks of the season, Carlton ultimately failed to make finals yet again. Although they were able to comprehensively deal with the lower sides, Carlton struggled against the top sides last season so will have to turn that […]
