WAFLW PLAYERS COMMIT FOR 2026
South Fremantle’s WAFLW players have shown remarkable commitment to the Bulldogs, re-signing in strong numbers ahead of the 2026 season.
After a program reset under Pia Faletti in 2025, the team made significant progress on and off the field throughout the season.
Included in a long list of returning players is reigning Best and Fairest winner TJ Mulder, joined by 2025 co-captains Hunter Cronin and Lauren Vecchio, ace wingers Tara Stribley and Ella Matthews, rising star Hannah Burt, recent Charmaine Rogers Medalist Madi Hadley and many more.
“It’s fantastic to see so many players not only commit to another season, but to each other and the Club,” said Sean Pollard, Manager of Female Football.
“The progress they made under Pia last year was undeniable, and with that foundation and coaching group remaining in place, we’re excited to see them build even stronger connections, drive higher standards and continue their growth together in 2026. It’s a great time to be a Bulldog.”
