Lions face tough fixture as Hawks, Dogs win out
BRISBANE faces the toughest AFL Women’s Season 7 fixture according to Rookie Me Central’s club-by-club analysis. In calculating the difficulty of each individual club’s fixture based on the opponent – and whether the match was in the club’s home state or interstate – the Lions were calculated to have the most difficult fixture of all […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: Fremantle
THOUGH Fremantle was thereabouts once again the AFL Women’s last season, the Dockers could not quite replicate the 2020 season, which in many ways will be a hard one to forget. They were unbeaten at the top of the table and premiership favourites, only for COVID-19 and the AFL to call off the season. In […]
Queensland girls go undefeated at nationals
QUEENSLAND’s future crop of talent is looking bright after the 15 and Under Girls went undefeated to take out the School Sport Australia (SSA) Championships late last month. Hosted for the first time in three years, five states and one territory played in a round-robin tournament to determine the best state at that level. In […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: Essendon

Now looking ahead to Season 7, Collingwood will still be without star onballers Brianna Davey and Brittany […]

Essendon announced it had signed another VFL Women’s Bomber in Alex Morcom, as well […]
Clarke not resting on his laurels
DESPITE being in one of the most envied positions in the AFLW as the two time premiership coach of the reigning premiers, Adelaide coach Matthew Clarke is certainly not resting on his laurels coming into the new season. Although they are the hunted again this season, Clarke noted how “every season is a new adventure” […]
Season 7 AFLW preview: Carlton
AFTER showing glimpses last season, and although they were technically in the finals race until the final few weeks of the season, Carlton ultimately failed to make finals yet again. Although they were able to comprehensively deal with the lower sides, Carlton struggled against the top sides last season so will have to turn that […]
