West Coast AFLW delists four after just four wins

Drennan, an experienced midfielder, did not play 2026 after announcing her pregnancy.

West Coast AFLW has ended contracts for four players after finishing 13th with just four wins this season. Roxy Roux departs after 22 games, having joined from Fremantle in 2024.

Sanne Bakker played 20 games since arriving as an injury replacement the same year. Natasha Entwistle made three games after debuting against Gold Coast in round two.

Alison Drennan, who arrived via trade from Gold Coast in 2023, did not feature in 2026 after announcing she and her partner were expecting their first child. West Coast's recruiting manager thanked all four for their contribution on and off the field.
