We keep you up to date with all the ins and outs so far in what’s shaping up to be a massive WAFL off-season.
There’s already been some big-name signings including several ex-AFL players, headlined by former West Coast speedster Jack Petruccelle and ex-Richmond defender Jacob Blight who are both heading to Subiaco.
A former Big Bash League cricket star is also locked in for season 2026, with Clint Hinchliffe, who impressed in the Perth Football League this year, having a crack at the WAFL with Swan Districts, years after playing State 18s for WA and Colts for West Perth.
