Team of the Week: Vixens' Hannah Mundy has capped her best outing with TOTW honours. Cast your vote
Vixens wing attack Hannah Mundy has capped her best game of the season with team of the week honours with only a split hair separating four Diamonds squad contenders at wing attack.
Mundy's showing in the Vixens' Victorian derby win over the Mavericks on Sunday was outstanding, with a workhorse performance giving her a narrow points victory over Diamonds vice-captain Paige Hadley, newest Diamond Georgie Horjus and national team training invitee Alice Teague-Neeld.
The competition between the quartet was typical of the competition in round 4, even within matches, with little separating the nominees for each match in a round of tight matches.
Just eight goals separated the teams in Sunday's two games, while the Giants took their first win of the season on Saturday by just a goal over the Thunderbirds and only two points separated the Fever and Lightning in Perth.
Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard won her second consecutive team of week nomination at goal shooter in an emotional return to RAC Arena, while the Lightning's Courtney Bruce booked Code's slot at goalkeeper after racking up six gains and 11 deflections while doing her best to contain the Jamaican great.
Bruce only just won the contest in her own match, however, after Fever keeper Kadie-Ann Dehaney's match-winning intercept in the dying stages was among her six gains in Perth.
Vote for your team of the week from the selections below.
GA Helen Housby (Swifts)
WA Hannah Mundy (Vixens)
C Leesa Mi Mi (Lightning)
WD Latanya Wilson (Thunderbirds)
GD Jodi-Ann Ward (Giants)

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese opens Seven Network's new Melbourne HQ
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has officially opened Seven's brand new, state-of-the-art Melbourne headquarters in one of the CBD's hottest locations. The opening, on Wednesday night, saw the launch of Seven's entire Melbourne operation at the stunning Melbourne Quarter Tower in Collins Street. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, Sport and Communications Minister Anika Wells, Seven West Media Chairman Kerry Stokes AC, SGH managing director and CEO Ryan Stokes AO and Seven West Media managing director and CEO Jeff Howard were also on hand for the opening. 'Seven is part of the fabric of Australian life — informing us, entertaining us, and helping shape the national conversation,' Mr Albanese said. 'This new purpose-built Melbourne headquarters is a major investment in the future of Australian media. It's not just a home for journalism and unforgettable sporting moments, but also a symbol of innovation and ambition. 'Congratulations to everyone involved. From suburbs to stadiums, Seven continues to play an ongoing role in telling our stories. And this world-class facility makes sure Melbourne remains at the heart of it.' Ms Allan praised the studio as one that would be home to 'those who tell the stories of our city and State'. 'Whether it's footy, breaking news or the moments that bring us together — they'll be told from Australia's sports and major events capital — here in the heart of Melbourne.' Mr Stokes said the new Melbourne headquarters was 'more than just a state-of-the-art facility'. 'It's a reflection of the city's important role in our national sporting and media landscape, and our commitment to delivering world-class content to all Australians,' he said. 'Every day and night, millions of Australians watch Seven, both on free to air television and on 7plus. They trust us to deliver the breaking news events and the unmissable sporting moments that matter most to them. Our new Melbourne studio strengthens our ability to tell those stories with even greater impact and in more innovative ways.' The centre incorporates 52km of cable and more than 190 screens. Inside the studio a digital IP-based television facility, full HD LED based news set and large-scale sports control room make it one of the most technologically advanced broadcasting centres in the country. Mr Howard said it represented 'a significant investment in both our people and our technology, ensuring we continue to deliver the very best content to our viewers now and into the future'. Seven Melbourne's managing director and Victorian sales director Peter Charles said the headquarters wasn't just a workplace, it was a 'hub of innovation and collaboration that is already seeing our teams work together in exciting new ways'.

Signs point to Reid remaining at Eagles in 2026
West Coast's highly sought young star Harley Reid is leaning towards remaining at the Eagles in 2026 rather than seeking a trade back home to Victoria. Reid, who has been subject to constant speculation – and interest from Victorian clubs since his outstanding debut season in 2024 – is said to be more likely to remain in Perth and play for West Coast next year, according to rival clubs and industry sources who spoke to this masthead on Wednesday. Reid is contracted for 2026, under the AFL's three-year mandatory minimum for first round picks, which means West Coast has a hold on him in any case. Of course, the prospect of Reid moving home to Victoria when his contract expires at the end of 2026 remains a live possibility. While he is more inclined to stay than leave, this is not a definitive position and it cannot be completely ruled out that he might seek a trade. The likelihood that Reid, the 2023 No.1 draft pick, will stay in Perth creates a series of dominoes for rival clubs, given that relatively few were well-placed to satisfy West Coast in a trade this year. Richmond and Essendon would arguably be the Victorian clubs with the best draft capital if Reid was willing to play for those clubs, and both are in the throes of rebuilding or replenishing their lists with youth rather than contending for the premiership. Of the Victorian clubs in contention mode, Geelong and Collingwood do not have first round choices this year in the national draft, while Hawthorn have Carlton's first round pick. Melbourne and Carlton, thus, are without first round picks, although the Blues would gain a top-10 choice, based on current ladder position, if they lost free agent Tom de Koning to St Kilda, who have offered the ruckman a staggering deal worth close to $1.7 million a season over a long-term.
