Analysis | Speedy Swans tame Dogs with brilliant ball movement

Bolting Bannan blitzs Eagles to set up huge Demonic win
NAARM bounced back from its first loss of the 2023 AFL Womens season in emphatic fashion on Sunday, thrashing the West Coast Eagles to the tune of 70 points.

By the Numbers: How the Power started to shut down
NORTH Melbourne ultimately ran away with a comfortable win over Yartapuulti on Sunday afternoon, but things did not look so straight forward earlier in the match.

The Butler did it: Collingwood back in business
IS COLLINGWOOD a contender? Seven rounds into the AFL Women’s season and it is a poignant question.

It was a very different story back in […]
Balanced ball-winning the secret key to Cats success
GEELONG notched up its fourth win of the AFL Women’s season on the weekend when it downed Walyalup in Round 7, but what the Cats were able to get back to was a balanced inside-outside dominance. The Cats had lost three of their past four games to fall into a bit of a slump after […]

Suns fortify their wits as Claudia shines bright over Richmond
THERE was an assuredness and maturity that rose from the pack in Gold Coast’s Round 6 performance against Richmond.

Roos hop to 45-point Docker demolition
NORTH Melbourne sent a message to the rest of the AFL Women’s competition as it played a fierce game of keepings off to run out 45-point winners over Fremantle on the road. Travelling west revealed no fears for the blue and white stripes as the Kangaroos took control after half-time to storm to a 10.6 […]
Limelight-lacking Lambert helps Saints create history
ST Kilda made a bit of club history on the weekend, downing Hawthorn to record a third win in a row for the first time in its AFLW history. After a less than ideal first three weeks of the season, things are starting to look much better for those from Moorabbin, and they have now […]
Frederick’s form continues as Pies cage Lions
COLLINGWOOD reinvigorated ruck Sabrina Frederick has enjoyed a purple patch of form since a disappointing Round 1, culminating in a head-to-head battle win against Lions star Tahlia Hickie over the weekend.
