Season 7 AFLW preview: GWS GIANTS
LAST season can only be described as a frustrating one for GWS GIANTS. At times they showed glimpses of their capabilities, and were in contention for finals for much of the season, but problems with coaching style and tactics meant that they ultimately fell short of a return to finals. But with a new head […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: Gold Coast
LAST season saw some significant improvement from the Gold Coast Suns, and they really looked like they were progressing forward well at times.

Season 7 AFLW preview: Geelong
LAST season can only be described as a disappointing one for Geelong.

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. They were unbeaten at the top of the table and premiership favourites, only for COVID-19 and the AFL to call off the season. In […]
Bulldogs not dwelling on the past in quest for glory
COVID was not the friend of the Western Bulldogs in AFLW Season 6, causing a number of disruptions to their campaign.
