SANFL Player Focus: Ben Camporeale (Glenelg)
CARLTON father-son prospect Ben Camporeale started his top-age campaign in style over the weekend, racking up 31 disposals in Glenelg’s Under 18s win over West Adelaide.

SANFLW Player Focus: Violet Patterson (Glenelg)
THERE is something black and white about the way Glenelg winger Violet Patterson plays, and it is not just her affiliation to Collingwood. Her father Stephen played 96 games and kicked 88 goals for the Magpies between 1995-2000, with the top-age Patterson an eligible father-daughter prospect. Though Patterson might not be the biggest or strongest […]

USAFL Nationals Player Focus: Lindsay Eliasson (Minnesota Freeze)
THE Minnesota Freeze almost pulled off some history at the 2023 USAFL National Championships Women’s Division 1, but ultimately fell heart breakingly short, losing to the Golden Gate Iron Maidens in the final.
