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.

Crow comeback decides epic Kangaroo clash

Terrific Tahlia helps Dees dismantle Roos
NAARM returned to the top of the AFLW ladder over the weekend with a 23-point win over the Kangaroos. One of the most influential performances of the night belonged to defender Tahlia Gillard.
