Team selection: VFLW – Round 15
WITH only two weeks left of the Victorian Football League (VFL) Women’s Competition, teams are fighting for a chance to play in the finals. Most teams have made minimal changes this week and are trying to create some momentum to finish the home and away season off strongly. Round 15 looks like another important week […]
The run home: Sandringham Dragons
ANYTHING to do with statistical analysis on the Sandringham Dragons this season – or most seasons to this point of the year – is largely irrelevant.

Lifelong footballer Szigeti edges closer to AFLW dream
WHEN Lauren Szigeti ran out on a football field for the first time, there was no elite pathway for women in Australian Rules.

Team Selection: TAC Cup – Round 15
THE final countdown is on as the TAC Cup enters its penultimate round of the season in 2018.

The run home: Northern Knights
NORTHERN Knights have been a really solid defensive side this season, ranking sixth overall, above their eighth placed position on the TAC Cup table. The Knights have generally enjoyed low-scoring tussles, always competitive against the top sides, including a draw against Gippsland Power in Morwell – one game they would be disappointed not to come […]
