Stat Leaders: 2022 NAB League Girls – Round 2
ROUND 2 of the 2022 NAB League Girls season saw an even spread of stars top the charts in a stats sense. Western Jets’ Charlotte Baskaran was among the standouts in her maiden outing for the season, but there were plenty more players who rose to the occasion in Round 2. Find out who as we take a look at all of this week’s stat leaders.
>> Results/Votes: Round 2 wrap | Scouting Notes | Player of the Week: Charley Ryan (Dandenong Stingrays)
It took little time for Western Jets star Baskaran to get going, with her side entering the competition this week after a bye in Round 1. The classy midfielder and ultimate professional showcased her work rate to rack up a high of 32 disposals, falling just a couple of stats short of both the kick and handball leads, too. Teammate Krystal Russell played a big part in those exploits, winning a monster 38 hitouts.
Topping said charts were Lilli Condon and Charley Ryan (both 21 kicks), and Northern Knights bottom-ager Ava Jordan (14 handballs). Both Condon and Jordan were standouts in respective losses, while Ryan came to prominence in Dandenong’s record 135-point win over Gippsland.
The Stingrays midfielder also shared top spot in the goalkicking tally this week, booting five majors to match the feats of Geelong Falcons match winner Elizabeth Dowling. Ryan’s prolific teammate Amber Clarke features here for the second week running, contributing a round-high of eight inside 50s. She currently leads the competition for goals with nine.
On the flip side, Sandringham Dragons defender Georgia Foran was a rock in defence once again and set her side in motion with 13 rebound 50s. Her intercept game was sound, as was the marking game of Knights winger Brooke Plummer. She worked hard for a total of eight, while Calder’s Amy Gaylor laid 13 tackles in the same game – matched by Bendigo’s Scarlett Orritt.

Stoppage dominance key to Crows’ win
A REMARKABLE stoppage differential in both the hitouts and clearances helped Adelaide defeat a gallant West Coast on the road, securing the all-important minor premiership. Though many expected the Crows to romp to an easy victory over the bottom four side, the Eagles never gave in, and Adelaide fought to the line to win, 11.5 […]
Saints salute in Moorabbin fortress
HOME is where the heart is, and for St Kilda, it is also where the four points come from each week, with St Kilda continuing its home dominance with a massive upset win over premiership contenders, Brisbane Lions at RSEA Park. The Saint held sway throughout the match and went head-to-head in a thrilling final […]
The Butler did it: Collingwood back in business
IS COLLINGWOOD a contender? Seven rounds into the AFL Women’s season and it is a poignant question. The Pies’ best is clearly good enough, and with wins over Brisbane, Essendon and Carlton in the past three weeks, the black and white army is surging with belief again. It was a very different story back in […]
Balanced ball-winning the secret key to Cats success
GEELONG notched up its fourth win of the AFL Women’s season on the weekend when it downed Walyalup in Round 7, but what the Cats were able to get back to was a balanced inside-outside dominance. The Cats had lost three of their past four games to fall into a bit of a slump after […]
Murder of Crows: Adelaide’s pressure sinks Suns
IN a season where there are four distinct contenders – with perhaps one or two dark horses – the gap between second and fifth was telling on the weekend. Adelaide, a side never too far away from success and in fact the most successful team in AFL Women’s history, put Gold Coast to the sword […]
Lions roar off the back of stoppage dominance
IT was brewing on the edge of half-time, and once the machine that is the Brisbane Lions got going, there was little Hawthorn could do to stop the title contenders on the weekend. Clashing in Frankston on Sunday, the Hawks threatened to cause a boilover early off the back off a strong midfield performance, before […]
Dockers defence nullifies Eagles clearance dominance
DEFENCE wins matches according to the old adage, and that was certainly the case for Fremantle during its win over West Coast. Laying a club-record 98 tackles, the Dockers achieved the feat minus arguably the best inside midfielder, and certainly best tackler in the game, Kiara Bowers. However, the Eagles show some promising signs, dominating […]
Young’s tops AFLW U18s goalkicking charts
TOP AFL Women’s Draft prospect Lauren Young lived up to expectations in her return from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury by taking out the leading goalkicker title at the AFLW Under 18 Championships. The South Australian star won an MVP two years ago as a 15-year-old, and after missing all of 2022, came back […]
