2025 CTLG Player Focus: Abby Hobson (Gippsland Power)
GIPPSLAND Power might have gone down in their Coates Talent League Girls quarter finals clash to Murray Bushrangers, but it did not stop marking machine Abby Hobson having a huge day out for the Power at Shepley Oval. The talented top-ager booted three goals – including back-to-back majors in the premiership quarter – and clunked […]
No “crisis” at Dockers, Suns despite record defeats
WALYALUP AFL Women’s coach Lisa Webb refuted claims her side was at a “crisis moment” when asked post-match following the Dockers’ 100-point defeat at the hands of North Melbourne. The record-breaking loss – and highest score conceded – followed on from Fremantle’s 78-point shellacking at the hands of Brisbane a week earlier. Despite it meaning […]
Swans to “throw at the stumps” for deep finals run
SYDNEY might be unbeaten and one of only four teams in the AFL Women’s that has started the season in the same fashion, but coach Scott Gowans was candid when asked about where he felt the side was at. Post-game following the Round 3 win over Geelong, Sydney had risen to top of the ladder […]
Stinear relieved to “get away with one”
FEW WOULD have predicted that last year’s wooden spooners Collingwood had the ability to push an in-form offensive juggernaut like Narrm (Melbourne) when they faced off over the weekend, but by the end of the match, AFLW Dees coach Mick Stinear conceded the Pies “deserved to win”. Narrm entered the Round 3 match having smashed […]
Crows coach “pretty happy” with Giant slaying
CONCEDING that conditions were hardly ideal to maintain dominance given the strong wind, Kuwarna (Adelaide) coach Matthew Clarke was pleased his team could come away with the four points against GWS Giants on the weekend.

Eagles complete 31-point fourth quarter turnaround
GO FORWARD and “just impact the game,” Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) coach Daisy Pearce said to star talent Ella Roberts before she went and ripped the game away from Euro-Yroke (St Kilda) as part of a 31-point fourth quarter turnaround at RSEA Park on Saturday. Down by 17 points with a quarter to play, Pearce […]
Baby Bombers tame Tigers in Darwin
DESPITE missing 258 AFLW games of experience between five players and replacing them with a total of six, Essendon showed off its depth during a 15-point win over Richmond. The 6.7(43) to 3.10 (28) win was far from clinical, but the Bombers remained unbeaten in season 2025, while Richmond slumped to an opposite 0-3 record […]
PREVIEW | 2025 AFLW: Round 3 – Friday/Saturday
WHILE the sides might be 0-2 and 2-0 on the ladder, Geelong and Sydney have some quality players across the board and the match looms as far closer than the respective positions might suggest. The Cats have played two premiership contenders, with the Swans storming past two lower ranked sides, and will now face their […]
Crows’ Clarke relieved with dominant finish
ADELAIDE coach Matthew Clarke certainly had some sympathy for his opposition mentor Dan Lowther as his Crows weathered a barrage of inside 50s and forward half possessions to grimly hold on before putting the foot down in the final term. The Crows trailed by 11 points at half-time having only kicked one goal to that […]
