WAFLW Player Focus: Kaitlyn Srhoj (Peel Thunder)
THOUGH still a bottom-age talent, Peel Thunder‘s Kaitlyn Srhoj has caught the eye in her first three West Australian Football League (WAFL) Women’s games. The 2005-born Srhoj is one of a number of fresh faces in the reigning back-to-back premiers’ lineup, and her performance from the weekend during Peel’s loss to East Fremantle was put […]

IT was a special round of the NAB League Girls with the two Queensland Academies coming to town for a one-off match each.

EASTERN Ranges captain Bridget Deed became part of Hawthorn Football Club history on Friday night, and she also had a decent NAB League Girls outing to boot.

2022 SANFLW Player Focus: Jade Halfpenny
UNDOUBTEDLY an aerial specialist, Norwood‘s Jade Halfpenny remains a talent more than good enough to step up to the top level.
