    JEFF White made his name in the AFL for more than a decade as an undersized, mobile ruck, playing for both Fremantle and Melbourne.

    KIARA Bowers has played a lot of very good games. She's even been the equal winner of the AFLW best and fairest award. 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
