As we head into our fourth week of an enthralling BFLW senior women's season, lets have a look and how each of our clubs has started their year and what's on the horizon.

The reigning back-to-back premiers are yet to drop a game to start the season.
Opening round saw the Devils face off in a grand final rematch with rivals Redan, in a game that was full passion and tenacity where Darley came out 7 point victors.
In Rounds 1 and 2, the Devils took out comfortable wins over Lake Wendouree and East Point respectively.
With plenty of team success, last week saw individual achievements claimed when club stalwart and loved teammate Kim Bessell booted her 300th league goal.
The celebrating continues this weekend when they hoist their 2024 BFLW Senior Women’s Premiership Flag at Darley Park.
Can The Devils keep riding this winning wave or will an unexpected upset happen against the Redbacks this weekend?

The Marsh have started strong in season 2025 winning their first three games and holding opponents East Point, Carisbrook and Lakers to no score.
For this reason, remarkably, the Cobras still are yet to register a percentage on the ladder despite putting 316 points on the board themselves to begin the year.
This week will see the Cobras take on Redan in an evenly matched game one would think given both team's start to year.
The contest should put Bacchus Marsh in good stead for their following match after Easter against cross town rivals Darley.
Bacchus Marsh have also been celebrating milestones with Summer Marchewka chalking up her 100th game of footy in Round 2, it’s worth noting that 98 of these games were played at Bacchus Marsh!
Played: 3 - Won: 2 - Lost: 1 - 529.41%
Redan have had a good start to 2025, following a good competitive game against Darley in opening round.
The Lions hit the front in the last quarter to only go down by 7 points in a hard-fought game.
Rounds 1 and 2 saw Redan claim good wins over East Point and Carisbrook, to get their season rolling.
This week they will take on Bacchus Marsh, in what should be an evenly matched contest with the winner set to take bragging rights on the ladder.
The Lions are also supporting the OnTrack foundation as part of this weekend's Wellness Round and accepting Donations throughout the week.
Redan have been a well oiled machine with plenty of experience on their side, watch out for the Maroon and Gold as the season progresses.
Played: 3 - Won: 1 - Lost: 2 - 39.66%
The Lakers had a win over Carisbrook in Opening Round but have gone on to register two losses over the past fortnight.
This week they take on East Point which predicts to be a very even tussle between two fiercely competative sides.
Both clubs will be looking to get the win before heading into the Easter break and enjoying the long weekend with a W in their basket.
The Lakers will be keen for Captain Demi Thompson and small forward Chelsea Dew to bag a few this weekend to come away with the win.

Opening Round saw the Dragons debut 8 senior players as the new look side continues to grow together to start the year.
Whilst East Point are yet to win a game they are certainly starting to gel through the midfield with their aim now to get a stronger score on the board.
Their first win could come this week over the Lakers.
It will be a big day for the club as they celebrate its 'Live4life' round, with raffles and memrobillia being sold on the day for the charity.
Lauren Butler from the Collingwood AFLW team will also be in attendance for a post match function, so expect a big turnout down at Eastern Oval on Sunday!
With plenty of fresh faces, it will be worth keeping an eye on the Dragons' devlopment, as each week will bring more confidence and moving into the back end of season could see East moving up the ladder.
Played: 3 - Won: 0 - Lost: 3 - 0%
The Redbacks come into the competition this year with a young side that is full of spirit.
Last week saw captain and young gun Olivia Butler play her 100th game of footy with a majority of these as a homegrown Carisbrook Redback.
What a wonderful achievement for someone at the age of only 20!
Whilst Carisbrook is yet to record a win, you would think this weekends game against Darley will be a tough assignment.
The Redbacks will be looking for strong team effort after Easter Break when they take on East Point.
