AFTER the first day of SANFL Women’s action took place today, we cast our eye across the final two games of Round 1 tomorrow which sees a couple of finalists go head-to-head, as well as a couple of teams keen to crack back into the postseason series.
Mackereth loving footy, family and friends
ONE OF the most talented prospects in this year’s draft, and certainly one of, if not the most outgoing one, Glenelg‘s Eloise Mackereth is a player who just loves everything about her football. The South Australian thrives in the forward 50 as well as she does in the social circles, and while she is composed […]
2025 SANFLW team preview: Glenelg
DESPITE feelings of disappointment with the Bays’ straight sets finals exit last year, the Glenelg playing group is focused on only looking forward in the 2025 SANFL Women’s season under new coach, Talia Radan. Taking over the reins from Lexia Edwards at the end of last season, Radan said she had deliberately not touched on […]
2025 SANFLW team preview: West Adelaide
WEST Adelaide is looking to keep games within its own control according to coach Bruce Dawes as the Bloods eye off continuing their development, with hopefully a touch more luck on the injury front. While star talent Iilish Ross was unfortunately a casualty to the dreaded anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear over the preseason, Dawes […]

FINALS are firmly in the sights of Sturt coach Michael O’Connor for the 2025 SANFL Women’s season, with the Double Blues mentoring understanding the tough nature of the tight competition since reaching the 2022 decider three years ago. Since then, the Double Blues were eliminated in the first week in 2023, then missed out last […]
AFLW Draft Q&A: Mikaylah Antony
A SPEEDY half-back with plenty of upside, Central District‘s Mikaylah Antony had an eye-catching first season at SANFL Women’s last year and earned a call-up to the Under 18s side for the National Championships. Heading into 2025, she hopes she can have a proper “breakout” year after finding her feet at the level in 2024. […]
AFLW Draft Q&A: Sophie Thredgold
HARD-RUNNING defender Sophie Thredgold had a breakout year for Sturt in the SANFL Women’s, becoming a feature in the team’s back five and cementing her spot in the South Australian Under 18s squad. Thredgold played all 14 games for the Double Blues, averaging 9.7 disposals, 2.6 marks and 2.6 rebound 50s in her bottom-age campaign. […]
2025 SANFLW team preview: Central District
A NEW-look Central District will grace the ovals of the SANFL Women’s this year, with “eight or so” changes to its best 21 following a mix of retirements and draftees last season. Coach Ben Hunt described the preseason as “really good” and though there are some key players out, expects others to stand up in […]
