Lions’ “mojo” back after eclipsing Suns
IT MIGHT have been a fizzer of a Q-Clash for the neutrals, but Brisbane Lions coach Craig Starcevich came away a happy man after his side crushed Queensland rivals Gold Coast Suns by 68 points at People First Stadium on Saturday evening.

Straightforward approach sees pacey Peucker improve rapidly
ZANE Peucker started his season with a clear goal – to make the state 18s side – a fairly reachable watermark for an athlete of his calibre.

Trengove focuses on controllables ahead of AFLW Draft
WHILE her 2025 season could not have been more impressive, South Australian skipper Imogen Trengove knows she has no control over whether she lands on an AFLW list. The Woodville-West Torrens prospect is more than open about relocating interstate, and while her All-Australian honours off three games might indicate she will have plenty of suitors, […]
Giants coach happy bar forward efficiency
GWS GIANTS might have suffered a second consecutive loss and slumped to a 2-6 record in the 2025 AFL Women’s season, but coach Cam Bernasconi was overall fairly pleased with his side’s performance.
