The former AFL ruck great taking Lions star under his wing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
JEFF White made his name in the AFL for more than a decade as an undersized, mobile ruck, playing for both Fremantle and Melbourne. Now, he's helping another ruck who wants to tap into their athleticism around the ground in Brisbane AFLW ruck Tahlia Hickie. When Lions coach Craig Starcevich made a call to his ABC commentary colleague to see if he wanted to come and become a specialist coach last year, White jumped at the chance. “I’d seen Tahlia from afar previously, but we wanted to try and max
How knee injury took Blue from impostor syndrome to All-Australian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IT'S NOT often that an ACL injury is actually a positive thing for a player. And at the time, Harriet Cordner certainly didn't see it that way. But looking back at the injury, which spelled the end of her time at Richmond, it was the starting point of the best form of her career.

But she's never played a better individual game than she did on Sunday against Adelaide. It might seem hyperbolic, sure. She's known as the AFLW's contested beast, usually racking up as many tackles as she does possessions. But her willingness to evolve with the competition – and her side – is the reason behind Sunday's unbelievable showing. In Bowers' best on ground performance
Davey kicks the sealer in first AFLW win of the season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COLLINGWOOD has released the pressure valve, breaking through for its first win of 2026 with victory over Greater Western Sydney on a tough day at Victoria Park. Up against windy conditions and crying out for someone to get dangerous in the front half, it was Ash Centra and Brianna Davey who stood up late in the piece to secure the 4.10 (34) to 3.7 (25) win on Sunday afternoon. MAGPIES v GIANTS Full match coverage and stats Davey, on return from illness that kept her out last week, kicked the se
