2023 AFLW Draft preview: Geelong
GEELONG came agonisingly close to reaching the 2023 AFL Women’s Grand Final, falling in the penultimate round to the eventual premiers.

Pinch punch, games get stolen in the last round of the month
ROUND 6 of the 2023 VFL Women’s season really had it all – big wins, little wins, big scores, little scores, the full selection.

North bounces back to clip Falcons’ wings
IN a fascinating VFL Women’s clash in Preston, North Melbourne bounced back from last week’s loss to Carlton with a 38-point win over Darebin. Despite the cushy margin, much of the game was a different story and much more even, but a strong first quarter from North was the real difference. The Roos dominated the […]
