Saturday February 22
West Adelaide v Glenelg at Hisense Stadium from 12.30pm
Amongst the exciting youthful talent Glenelg as attracted this off-season, North Adelaide premiership defender Ella Quinn will provide plenty of experience for the Bays in 2025.
The 28-year-old featured in the Roosters’ 2022 flag and is expected to rebound off half-back as well as push into the midfield when required.
With 34 games of SANFLW experience under her belt, Quinn will provide plenty of guidance for the Tigers’ emerging youngsters.

New Glenelg coach Talia Radan knows exactly what to expect when she guides Tiger young gun Georgie Fielder.
Radan was an assistant coach for the SA U16 team in 2024, where Fielder displayed her dynamic style of play as she earned All-Australian selection.
Still just 16, Fielder – who has a background in athletics – played five SANFLW League games last year and is seeking to build on that in 2025 after posting an exciting pre-season.
