2025 AFLW Draft review: West Coast
WEST Coast managed to secure the local young star, while also adding another exciting talent in the form of a Victorian utility in what was a relatively small draft crop after a huge one in 2024. The Eagles made finals for the first time and will be looking to build on that effort next season […]

CURRENT AFL Women’s juggernaut North Melbourne only entered the draft at Pick 37 after choosing to trade into next year’s cohort which will be a stronger and deeper pool.
