SANFLW stars shine at AFLW Awards

Two SANFLW draftees have made history for their respective AFLW clubs at the 2025 AFLW Awards.

South Adelaide premiership player Indy Tahau was recognised for her record-breaking season after making the move into attack for Port Adelaide.

Tahau kicked 25 goals in the home-and-away season – the most of any player in the AFLW since its inception.

In a standout season where she averaged 2.1 goals per game, Tahau also earned her first All-Australian selection, named at full forward.

She was joined by former Glenelg SANFLW player Matilda Scholz, who, after a breakout season for the Power in 2024, was rewarded for another consistent year with her first All-Australian blazer.

Scholz, who spends the majority of her time in the ruck, was named on the interchange bench.

Tahau and Scholz are the first All-Australian selections for Port Adelaide’s AFLW side since it joined the League in 2022.
