VFLW<\/p>\n
North Melbourne Werribee 9.8 (62) def. Box Hill 6.5 (41)<\/p>\n
The Kangaroos have kept their hopes of consecutive premierships alive with a 21-point preliminary final win over Box Hill.<\/p>\n
Midfield duo\u00a0Alana Barba\u00a0and\u00a0Maddy Di Cosmo\u00a0combined for 51 disposals and 15 clearances, driving the Roos out of the contest, while\u00a0Georgia Nicholas\u00a0and\u00a0Nyakoat Dojiok\u00a0each dobbed two goals in the win.<\/p>\n
Jess Matin\u00a0threatened to give Box Hill a sniff with two second-half goals, and\u00a0Mia Zielinski\u00a0(two goals) also had a strong day in attack, while\u00a0Matilda Van Berkel\u00a0(11 intercept possessions) and\u00a0Annabelle Embleton\u00a0(10) were impressive behind the ball.<\/p>\n
SANFLW<\/p>\n
South Adelaide won the SANFLW Grand Final.<\/p>\n
QAFLW<\/p>\n
Southport 14.16 (100) def. Morningside 3.3 (21)<\/p>\n
Reigning premier Southport won its way through to the QAFLW Grand Final with a commanding performance over Morningside on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
A host of top draft prospects starred for the Sharks, including\u00a0Mikayla Nurse\u00a0(13 disposals, three inside 50s) who turned on the jets,\u00a0Dekota Baron\u00a0who kicked four goals, and\u00a0Georja Davies\u00a0who finished with 30 hitouts and 26 disposals.<\/p>\n
Sunny Lappin\u00a0also finished with 30 disposals and eight inside 50s in the win, as Carlton, St Kilda, and Gold Coast all fight for her services come December’s draft.<\/p>\n
Sienna Graham\u00a0was Morningside’s only avenue to goal, with all three majors of the day, while\u00a0Kylie Lawrence\u00a0finished with 25 disposals and four tackles.<\/p>\n
Morningside will face Coorparoo in a preliminary final next week, with the goal of qualifying to the Grand Final to face Southport once again.<\/p>\n
Bond University 3.2 (20) def. by Coorparoo 4.7 (31)<\/p>\n
Edie Fraser\u00a0\u2013 a Brisbane Academy member who will be eligible for the 2026 Telstra AFLW Draft \u2013 was impressive for Coorparoo in its semi-final win over Bond University, with 16 disposals, three inside 50s, and a goal.<\/p>\n
Chelsea Winn\u00a0(19 disposals, eight tackles),\u00a0Ayla Fetahagic\u00a0(20 disposals, six clearances), and\u00a0Grace Roberts-White\u00a0(22 disposals, four inside 50s) were also impressive for the victors.<\/p>\n
Gold Coast Academy player, and potential draftee\u00a0Annabelle Foat\u00a0(10 disposals, four tackles) was handy for Bond University despite the loss, as was\u00a0Shannon Nolan\u00a0(21 disposals, seven clearances).<\/p>\n
WAFLW<\/p>\n
Claremont 3.6 (24) def. Swan Districts 3.5 (23)<\/p>\n
Last year, Claremont sensationally won the flag with a late\u00a0Rachel Ortlepp\u00a0goal to snatch the lead. This year, it held on grimly to claim a consecutive title.<\/p>\n
Ortlepp did goal again on the biggest of days, as did former Fremantle midfielder\u00a0Matilda Sergeant, who also led the side with 21 disposals, and\u00a0Jayme Harken\u00a0was awarded best on ground for her 20 disposals and 18 tackles.<\/p>\n
Potential AFLW draftee\u00a0Juliet Kelly\u00a0was also important in the Claremont win, with 18 disposals and eight tackles of her own.<\/p>\n
For Swan Districts, it was\u00a0Carys D’Addario\u00a0\u2013 another draft prospect later this year \u2013 who led the way with 25 disposals and nine tackles, while\u00a0Jaime Henry\u00a0finished with 22 disposals and 22 tackles, and\u00a0Summer Yarran\u00a0kicked all three of the Swans’ goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Claremont celebrates winning the 2025 WAFLW premiership.
