2025 WAFLW Player Focus: Carys D’Addario
WEST Australian MVP Carys D’Addario is a player built for finals football and she certainly showed it during Swan Districts’ upset win over Subiaco in the WAFL Women’s Preliminary Final. Against the odds, D’Addario and her third placed side upset the top two team to advance through to Sunday’s decider with a two-point victory. In […]
WAFL Colts Player Focus: Toby Whan (South Fremantle)
SOUTH Fremantle midfielder Toby Whan filled his boots in a performance which defied belief over the weekend. The Fremantle Next Generation Academy (NGA) member booted four goals from 41 disposals as his side downed East Perth to the tune of 43 points in Round 18 of the WAFL Colts season. Whan has been a consistent […]
VFL Player Focus: Jesse Mellor (Geelong Cats)
GEELONG Next Generation Academy (NGA) candidate Jesse Mellor returned to the VFL in Round 20, building on his debut performance with two goals. The Falcons vice-captain played up forward and spent time on the wing, holding his own against AFL-listed opposition in a 14-point win over Essendon. Mellor is among the 64 players to have […]
2025 AFL Sydney Player Focus: Aoife Berry (UTS Bats)
ANOTHER one of UTS Bats’ talented prospects, Giants Academy top-ager Aoife Berry is a name to remember. One of the more unlucky players to miss out on Allies selection, Berry had a really consistent Coates Talent League Girls campaign with the Giants where she averaged 12.0 disposals, 1.3 marks, 3.5 tackles and 4.3 inside 50 […]
VFL Player Focus: Lachy Dovaston (Box Hill Hawks)
LACHY Dovaston has established himself as one of the premier small forwards in the Coates Talent League. The tenacious prospect impressed for the Eastern Rangers in his bottom-age year last season, averaging 16 possessions per game and booting nine goals in 15 appearances. In his top-age campaign, Dovaston has been able to duplicate his disposal […]
WAFL Colts Player Focus: Koby Evans (Perth)
PERTH prospect Koby Evans made his return to action over the weekend, having missed most of the year due to back stress fractures. The explosive midfielder-forward made an impression with 28 disposals and two goals in Round 1 of the Colts season, but has only played one National Academy game since. Evans is a member […]
2025 AFL Sydney Player Focus: Aysha Sanchez (East Coast Eagles)
IN DOUR conditions at times, top-age Giants Academy member Aysha Sanchez ran her way to 31 disposals including a ripping goal in torrential rain during East Coast Eagles’ 7.13 (55) to 0.0 (0) victory over Parramatta Goannas in Round 15 of the AFL Sydney Women’s Premier Division. Sanchez hails out of the Bomaderry Tigers, with […]
2025 WAFLW Player Focus: Lexi Strachan (West Perth)
ARGUABLY Western Australia’s top prospect for next year, West Perth dynamo Lexi Strachan finished off her bottom-age season in style. The Falcons midfielder was outstanding in a best on ground performance for the fifth placed side who marginally fell short of a second straight finals appearance when they defeated South Fremantle by two goals last […]
VFL Player Focus: Sam Grlj (Richmond)
COMING off the back of two consistent years of high-quality football, Oakleigh Chargers prospect Sam Grlj was included in Richmond’s Round 19 VFL side. In what was essentially an audition for one of the Tigers’ top picks, his inclusion proved a welcome addition to a side devoid of AFL-listed talent. Grlj is a unique player […]
VFL Player Focus: Zeke Uwland (Gold Coast Suns)
IT WAS a long time coming, but pick one contender Zeke Uwland finally took the field for his first appearance at any level this year. The Gold Coast-tied prospect returned from back stress fractures for the Suns’ VFL side, which was undone by a mighty Brisbane fightback in Saturday’s Q-Clash. Having watched the entire Under […]
