Quick Chat with Brighton Robins AFC

The Brighton Robins Aussie Rules club in Tasmania’s Southern Football League wouldn’t normally capture the attention of people around Australia, however their run of heavy losses through the 2026 season - losing their opening 8 games by an average of 229 points - certainly had people taking notice. The senior women’s team scored a single point throughout that period while playing in the Premier League competition. But as skipper Lauren Dykes and ruck Shanee Evans explain, the team isn’t playing in that division by choice - it’s necessary for their men’s club to continue playing at the top level. The selflessness, optimism and perspective of the players is admirable, while also a great lesson that playing sport is about the journey and not always the result.
