Round 14 had something for everyone!

Our youngest players wrapped up their seasons in the Lightning Carnivals, while the older age groups delivered football worthy of the edge of your seat. Multiple matches went down to the wire this week, including a rare draw. Momentum flipped, leads vanished, and one standout player refused to let her side go quietly.

This past weekend, U16s @wphawks player Bella-Cruize Appelman played her 150th game in the SMJFL, making her only the third girl to do so in league history, and the second to mark this milestone at one club.

Girls' footy looked very different back in 2016 when Bella started out, with the @aflw ramping up to launch in her first year of competition. Throughout her journey, Bella has marked many milestones and opportunities, including the @stkildafc Next Gen Academy (now STK Academy), SMJFL Interleague, and receiving her 10 year player award in 2025.

Bella continues to be heavily involved in footy in almost every way possible, including by Assistant Coaching the U14 Waverley Park Hawks Girls team, and goal umpiring in the @westgippslandfn Senior Men's Competition on Saturdays.

Congratulations to our Round 13 Snap of the Week Winner, Michelle Williams!

Another week, another review - and @cabrinihealth Wellness Round didn’t hold back.

This week was full of flipped leads, disappearing margins, and late surges. Some sides controlled from the first bounce, others left it late, and one comeback in particular might just be the best finish we’ve seen all season. And amongst it all, a very special 150th game celebration for our Player of the Round.
