The women's side sat out the 2020 AFL North West season due to a range of reasons including availability issues but a number of Kangaroos still managed to get some footy in.
A couple players linked up with the premiership-winning Gunnedah Bulldogs outfit while others filled in for Moree from time to time.

Douglas said the club would be driving to get a team back on the paddock to give the players regular opportunities to play Aussie rules.
"The girls are pretty keen to get back playing again," he said.
"We're definitely pushing hard for that.
"I think it'll be a developing side again, there'll probably be a fair few first year players, but we'll be pushing fairly hard to get a team together."
Douglas was named president at the club's annual general meeting alongside a new-look committee.
"We have a few news ones on the committee," Douglas said.
"We have a new secretary, Bridget Galvin is taking on that role. She's keen. Savannah Shepherd has taken on the vice president and treasurer roles.
"Carl Frazier and Brendon Rakus have come onto the committee with Sarah Dadd and Bryson Shepherdson."
The Kangaroos will next come together for their presentation night on November 27.
The club also plans to have a light session in December before getting stuck into pre-season training in January.
"That's the plan of attack and with the [AFL] 9s, there's a bit of footy happening anyway and they're having a kick and a run around," Douglas said.
The Kangaroos also hope to finalise their coaching appointments in the near future as well.
