Stats Leaders: 2022 NAB League Girls – Round 10
INTERCEPT marking machine Georgia Foran was up to her old tricks, as Round 10 of the NAB League Girls season brought an end to the home-and-away fixtures. There were plenty more players who also rose to the occasion this past weekend, find out who as we take a look at all of this week’s stats leaders.

Foran clunked seven intercepts among her round-high eight marks, but could not quite inspire Sandringham Dragons to a win over Greater Western Victoria. The top-ager defender also topped the rebound 50s charts with 11, surpassing her incredible season average of 8.7.
Teammate Sofia Hurley was similarly prolific in a ball winning sense. While Murray’s Keeley Skepper topped the disposal tally for Round 10 with 30, Hurley racked up 23 kicks among her 29 touches. 2006-born Geelong talent Sara Howley also had an outstanding weekend, matching Hurley’s kicking feats.
Good form is key on the eve of finals, and Montana Ham has plenty of that behind her. The Western midfielder was dominant for her unbeaten 16 handballs, despite the best efforts of Eastern Ranges players like Jade Hutchinson who laid a high of 10 tackles, alongside Gippsland’s Indiana Makai.
Round 10 saw a few top-age guns get back to their bottom-age best, and Dandenong’s Emily Shepherd was one such player. She spent plenty of time deep inside 50 and took full toll with five goals – her clear best haul for the season. Elsewhere, the top hitout spot was shared by Lauren Jatczak (Northern) and Ellie Sbeghen (Calder) as both players won 24.

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 […]
