Pies needing to reset after “bitterly disappointing” performance
COLLINGWOOD’s high of competing with a raft of premiership contenders the past month came crashing down on Friday night after the Magpies meekly bowed out to the previously one-win Western Bulldogs at Whitten Oval. An inspired performance from premiership skipper Ellie Blackburn up forward, and huge efforts from Isabelle Pritchard and Alice Edmonds around the […]
“Everything clicked” as Dogs dine out on Pies
AFTER a number of weeks where the Western Bulldogs have shown glimpses of what they are capable in the 2025 AFL Women’s season, the Daughters of the West produced their best effort of the year with a dominant, four-quarter demolition of Collingwood. The Magpies had looked far better in the past month against a host […]
“Calm” Roos get to work after slow start
A TEAM on an 18-game winning streak does not often find itself scoreless at quarter time, but that was the situation for ladder leaders and raging premiership favourites North Melbourne when the Roos trailed the Bombers, 3.2 (20) to 0.0 (0) after one term on the weekend. Fortunately an incredibly strong breeze that advantaged the […]
Stinear pleased with four-quarter effort
MELBOURNE produced its most impressive performance of the season over the weekend and loom as the most likely threat to North Melbourne after seven rounds. The Dees completely dismantled bottom two side Gold Coast by 87 points in a dominant 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6) result. Demons coach Mick Stinear was particularly pleased with the […]
Cats to go to work on contest balance
GEELONG’s three-game winning streak came to a halt at the hands of Hawthorn last night as the Cats look to tweak a few things ahead of an extended homestay. After not playing at home since Round 3, the Cats are set for another fortnight at GMHBA Stadium when they take on the Blues and Giants. […]
Hawks coach happy to just keep winning
HAWTHORN notched up its sixth win of the AFL Women’s season last night with a hard fought victory over Geelong, and while the Hawks have now won by by single-digit margins, it does not both coach Daniel Webster in the slightest. Following the 6.6 (42) to 5.5 (35) victory over the Cats at GMHBA Stadium […]
PREVIEW | 2025 AFLW: Round 7 – Friday
TWO REBUILDING sides with some great young talent go head-to-head under lights at Whitten Oval when the Western Bulldogs take on Collingwood tonight. We preview the big game that promises to have plenty of exciting moments. AROUND THE GROUNDS Friday’s action all kicks off at Casey Fields when Melbourne plays host to Gold Coast from […]
ANALYSIS | Tiger troubles put down to “moments”
IF YOU had done a poll at the start of the season to see which AFL Women’s team would be winless at the halfway mark, very few – if any – would have nominated Richmond. But, that is exactly how the ladder looks for the yellow and black, anchored to the bottom with an 0-6 […]
Clarke “impressed” with fast-finishing Crows
ADELAIDE survived the scare of a lifetime when it overcame a dogged Gold Coast outfit to win by 16 points at People First Stadium on Sunday. The Crows trailed by 15 points at three quarter time having kicked just one major to that point against the young Suns, before flexing their muscles in the last […]
Bombers’ offensive struggles continue
AFTER starting the season with a 3-0 record, Essendon’s scoring power has completely dried up the past fortnight. A Round 4 loss to Geelong saw the Bombers go down by 31 points at Windy Hill, and since then, the red and black have suffered defeats to both St Kilda and Fremantle, sides who have had […]
