Excellent Exon helps Saints end ’23 on a high

SUNDAY afternoon saw St Kilda’s 2023 AFLW season come to a bit of a bittersweet end, with a win over Carlton that wasn’t quite big enough to nab them a spot in the finals. One player who did play a bit of an impressive role in the win was veteran Nat Exon. Not normally one […]

Lions study up to tame reigning premiers

BRISBANE picked up one of its biggest wins of its season, defeating Melbourne by 25 points to secure a top four berth and double chance. Much like Adelaide a month prior, it was clear Brisbane had done its homework on the Dees and again beat the reigning premiers at their own game. There were many […]

Stoppage dominance key to Crows’ win

A REMARKABLE stoppage differential in both the hitouts and clearances helped Adelaide defeat a gallant West Coast on the road, securing the all-important minor premiership.

Port Powers over GWS for fitting star send-off

PORT Adelaide ended its 2023 AFL Women’s season on a massive high, comfortable beating GWS by almost 10 goals.

In pleasant springtime conditions in front of 3,632 […]

Electric Emonson helps Cats end Tigers’ season

GEELONG kept its finals chances very much alive on Saturday night after an impressive win over Richmond. Although unsurprisingly many of their usual suspects, one player who was particularly impressive that perhaps may have flown under the radar for some was defender Chantel Emonson. Not the biggest name in either height or reputation, Emonson more […]

IT has been a long time coming for Western Bulldogs fans, but the red, white and blue finally heard the club song post-game on the weekend, defeating West Coast to enjoy a much-needed victory.

HOME is where the heart is, and for St Kilda, it is also where the four points come from each week, with St Kilda continuing its home dominance with a massive upset win over premiership contenders, Brisbane Lions at RSEA Park.

Blistering Blaithin helps Dees destroy Dockers

MELBOURNE continued on its winning ways yesterday afternoon with a solid 33-point win over Fremantle at Casey Fields in what was particularly testing conditions.
