WAFL Women’s Player Focus: Evie Cowcher (Peel Thunder)
IN JUST her second WAFL Women’s game, Peel Thunder double bottom-ager Evie Cowcher produced some jaw-dropping numbers as she bravely helped defend for Peel Thunder during an 18-point loss to reigning premiers Claremont. Undoubtedly the scoreline would have been more lob-sided without Cowcher there, as the 15-year-old was tasked with the kickouts, but also provided […]
WAFLW R2 wrap: Tigers go it alone on top after Thunder strike
CLAREMONT is the sole side to have picked up all eight points this WAFL Women’s season following a Round 2 victory over Peel Thunder.

HAVING a debut performance to remember, double bottom-ager Olivia Crane became our first WAFL Women’s Player Focus for 2023.

“Spark has been lit” for hungry Tigers

A ground change from the club’s home deck of Revo Fitness Stadium on Saturday to Pentanet Stadium on Sunday due to ongoing renovations with lights at the Claremont venue, has not dampened the spirits of the […]
“Very different” Swans want to challenge again
SWAN Districts might be going through a “developmental phase” according to coach Adam Dancey, but he believes there is no reason why the young side cannot challenge for a WAFL Women’s flag. The reigning preliminary finalists have seen a lot of experience turned over during the off-season, but it gives some fresh faces chances to […]
