Falcons fly high for ground-breaking win
WEST Perth played the best game in its women’s club history, defeating Peel Thunder by 37 points to bounce back into the top four on the WAFL Women’s ladder. Though the Thunder were missing a number of quality players, the Falcons were not without a key omission themselves, and all bought into the gameplan of […]
Preview | WAFLW R4b: Falcons eye upset
A MUCH improved West Perth outfit in 2023 will be eyeing off an upset against a Peel Thunder side missing a number of quality midfielders to try and win its first match against a non-expansion side in 2023. That match is the first of two on Sunday, with East Perth taking on East Fremantle in […]
Preview | WAFLW R4a: Tigers and Bulldogs look to remain in top two
CLAREMONT and South Fremantle sit first and second on the ladder, and face off against a couple of sides in the bottom four, in Subiaco and Swan Districts. While Subiaco has picked up a win and a draw, and was competitive in its loss to East Fremantle last week, Swan Districts is still searching for […]
Overage AFLW Draft Positional Watch: Rucks
KEY position players always take longer to develop, and while many top-age talents might be long-term options, there are a few top chances to keep in mind for Tuesday’s Overage AFLW Draft. For the first of our AFLW Draft Positional Watch pieces, we take a look at some rucks with a focus on those who […]
WAFLW R3 wrap: Sharks tame Lions
EAST Fremantle became the first side to defeat a much-improved Subiaco in season 2023 of the WAFL Women’s in what was a hard-fought six-point victory. The Sharks – who struggled with inaccuracy at times throughout the opening fortnight of the season – found the big sticks more often than not, then survived a second half […]
Preview | WAFLW R3b: Thunder regain experience
CLAREMONT will host Swan Districts to kick off the second day of WAFL Women’s Round 3 action, with the Tigers able to regain top spot on the ladder with a victory. Aside from the Tigers-Swans clash, East Perth will heal Peel Thunder with the teams boasting 0-2 and 1-1 records to start the year, as […]
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. The Tigers, who were bolstered by a host of experienced names, were too strong for a young Thunder side, but failed to fully capitalise on their dominance with an inaccurate scoreline […]
WAFL Women’s Player Focus: Olivia Crane (Subiaco)
HAVING a debut performance to remember, double bottom-ager Olivia Crane became our first WAFL Women’s Player Focus for 2023. The 2007-born Crane played in defence and was outstanding both in the air and at ground level, possessing a number of impressive draftable qualities already despite having three years left in the system until being draft-eligible.
