IN the Round 7 edition of number crunching we reveal who fared best in each stat, including a nod to regular game breakers, Jenna Bruton and Erin Phillips, and a number of other players who managed to dominate multiple areas.

Jenna Bruton tried her heart out for North Melbourne in a losing effort in their do or die clash on the weekend against Fremantle. Bruton was outstanding for the Kangaroos, collecting a round high effort of 19 kicks from 26 disposals. Teammate, Emma Kearney was not far off the mark as she amassed a whopping 17-contested possessions, the most of any player. Given both players took the field for the losing side, this is a testament to how well Fremantle played on the weekend to earn a finals spot.

At the conclusion of the home and away season Fremantle’s Kiara Bowers heads the tackle count with 83, sitting 21 clear of next on the table. Bowers is likely to continue her good tackling form in finals and is sure to push to maintain her strong lead.

Collingwood forward, Sarah D’Arcy convincingly beat the Brisbane defence and was a constant threat in the air in Round 7. Four of her 11 marks were contested, both the highest tally in the round by some margin.

Carlton’s Brooke Walker was a surprise package in the last round of the season, kicking a career high three goals to be the highest individual goalkicker this round. Hopefully she can continue this good form heading into Carlton’s inaugural AFLW finals run this week. At the conclusion of the 2019 AFLW home and away season, Adelaide’s Stevie-Lee Thompson has kicked the most goals, with 13 majors from seven games and finals footy on the way.

North Melbourne’s Emma King showed her versatility, moving back into the ruck after spending time up forward in recent weeks. She had the most hitouts on the weekend with 32, well up from her average of 17.

Collingwood’s Ash Brazill was instrumental from half-back and incredibly composed in her sides first win for 2019 over Brisbane, managing 14 effective kicks of 19, from 23 disposals, setting a new AFLW record.
