The Blues lost captain Brianna Davey to Collingwood, […]

However, this result gave them some high-end picks in the draft, and they recruited quite well to fix the gaps of players lost. With new coach, Daniel Harford at the helm, […]
Future is bright for women’s football
IF anyone ever had any doubts about the future of AFL Women’s, then they need look no further than this week’s V/Line Cup.
