Star @lornefnc recruit Charlie McCartin claimed br

Star @lornefnc recruit Charlie McCartin claimed bragging rights as the only senior premiership player in his family on the weekend, a title he may not hold for much longer.

Charlie’s brother Tom is gearing up to play a key role in Sydney’s AFL grand final side against Brisbane this weekend.

The Swans have had a special connection with the McCartin family, with Tom and older brother Paddy both playing in the club’s 2022 AFL grand final team, while Charlie has had an opportunity with the Swans’ VFL team this year.

While they had mixed outcomes in their grand final

While they had mixed outcomes in their grand finals, talented Colac siblings Ellinor and Ingemar Borrack achieved a rare double in footy and netball.

Ellinor led @southcolacsc to a 17-and-under netball premiership, claiming best-on-court honours to cap off a big season for the A Grade rising star.

A dominant South under-14.5 footy outfit had the better of Ingemar’s @westerneaglesfnc_ side in their decider, but officials adjudged the youngster as the best performer on the field.

Not even four forced changes and coming up against

Not even four forced changes and coming up against the minor premiers could stop Alvie from winning this year’s reserves premiership.

The Swans lost four senior players from the second semi-final team that beat the Tigers a fortnight ago after Alvie’s seniors got knocked out of finals last year.

But reserves coach Liam Williamson said he was confident all along that Saturday’s group could get the job done, with
the Swans winning, 9.9 (62) to 4.2 (26).

Star Alvie playing-coach Jaymie Lowe never envisag

Star Alvie playing-coach Jaymie Lowe never envisaged her return to netball would pan out like it did in 2024 after a serious knee injury put her successful career on hold.

The Swans co-coach led the club A and B Grade grand finals in her first season at the helm alongside A Grade superstar Ruby Bowers, hitting the court again after a ruptured ACL sidelined Lowe last year.
