2024 WAFLW R2 wrap: Field position key as Tigers tame Dogs
CLAREMONT’s goalkicking was perhaps the only negative in an otherwise impressive performance by the Tigers, moving to 2-0 in the 2024 WAFL Women’s season thanks to a 15-point win over contenders South Fremantle.

THREE matches complete Round 2 of the WAFL Women’s on Sunday with a Perth Derby and a couple of other fascinating contests. We preview all three games in action.
2024 WAFLW Team of the Week: Round 1
SUBIACO dominated this week’s Rookie Me Central WAFL Women’s Team of the Week following its 95-point belting of East Perth.

Sandgropers stun goalless Allies in huge win
WESTERN Australia proved far too good for the Allies at Blacktown International Sportspark, running out 77-point winners and keeping their opponent goalless for the match. The Sandgropers dominated from start to finish, with inaccuracy stopping the margin from being even greater than the 11.14 (80) to 0.3 (3) result. After almost a four-month break since […]
Scouting notes: WAFLW Under 18s Exhibition
WESTERN Australia got some additional match practice in ahead of its next AFLW Under 18 Championships clash against the Allies, when it took on Western Australia Country Women’s Team.
