AFLW Draft Q&A: Chloe Bown
STAR dual-sided talent Chloe Bown is one of the top Victorian prospects in this year’s AFLW Draft, having already impressed as a bottom-ager for Vic Metro and being a member of the National Academy. The Oakleigh Chargers star is a midfielder-forward with plenty of weapons and inflicts maximum damage on the opposition with her work […]
2025 SANFLW team preview: Glenelg
DESPITE feelings of disappointment with the Bays’ straight sets finals exit last year, the Glenelg playing group is focused on only looking forward in the 2025 SANFL Women’s season under new coach, Talia Radan. Taking over the reins from Lexia Edwards at the end of last season, Radan said she had deliberately not touched on […]
AFLW Draft Q&A: Lily Baxter
ONE of four South Australians in the National Academy, South Adelaide wing Lily Baxter is a player to watch in 2025. The hard-running Panther started her career as a dynamic attacking forward, but after developing her defensive work the last 12 months, is a fully fledged wing who can hurt opposition teams both ways. We […]
Tigers end PINT’s three-peat dream
REIGNING back-to-back premier PINT’s dream of a three-peat is over after Nightcliff caused a boilover in the preliminary final, sending the Queen Ants out of the NTFL Women’s Premier Division finals series in straight sets.

2025 SANFLW team preview: West Adelaide
WEST Adelaide is looking to keep games within its own control according to coach Bruce Dawes as the Bloods eye off continuing their development, with hopefully a touch more luck on the injury front. While star talent Iilish Ross was unfortunately a casualty to the dreaded anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear over the preseason, Dawes […]
WAFLW 15 to Watch in 2025: #10 Carys D’Addario
STRONG and capable of winning the ball both on the inside and outside, Carys D’Addario made it back-to-back Swan Districts players in our WAFL Women’s countdown of players to watch. D’Addario is one who has had some injury interruptions over the last couple of years, but looms as one to improve in 2025 with some […]
2025 SANFLW team preview: Sturt
FINALS are firmly in the sights of Sturt coach Michael O’Connor for the 2025 SANFL Women’s season, with the Double Blues mentoring understanding the tough nature of the tight competition since reaching the 2022 decider three years ago. Since then, the Double Blues were eliminated in the first week in 2023, then missed out last […]
AFLW Draft Q&A: Mikaylah Antony
A SPEEDY half-back with plenty of upside, Central District‘s Mikaylah Antony had an eye-catching first season at SANFL Women’s last year and earned a call-up to the Under 18s side for the National Championships. Heading into 2025, she hopes she can have a proper “breakout” year after finding her feet at the level in 2024. […]
