WAFL Player Focus: Jackson Broadbent (Peel Thunder)
PEEL Thunder ruck Jackson Broadbent is a tall talent whose draft range is difficult to pinpoint, but the 201cm prospect can certainly do things not many other players his size can. He became a rare bottom-ager to gain League and state Under 18 experience last year, putting his name in lights as one to watch […]
Up the Grades: Busslinger jets into senior debut
TOP 10 prospect Jedd Busslinger bustled his way into East Perth’s senior team on the weekend, proving undeniable after putting together an outstanding start to his WAFL Colts season.

WAFLW Player Focus: Sasha Goranova (Claremont)
WESTERN Australia had four mature-age AFLW Draft Combine invitees in 2022, with Claremont boasting three of them, including midfielder Sasha Goranova. Nicknamed “The Russian”, Goranova was one of two players – along with Jess Low – who trained with West Coast in 2021 as potential train-ons to fill a role with the Eagles’ growing injury […]
VFLW Player Focus – Grace Buchan (Southern Saints)
SOUTHERN Saints defender Grace Buchan has been around the VFLW system for a while, but for one reason or another has never made it onto an AFLW list yet. Flying under the radar a bit, she is the kind of hardworking defender that just gets the job done, just like she did on the weekend […]
