IN OUR new series, we take a look at a potentially exciting AFL Women’s head-to-head set to take place over the weekend, and how the match-up may transpire on game day.

Note: The match-up of course subject to the selection of both players in their respective sides.

This week’s match up is two of the competition’s younger stars who have achieved a lot in their AFLW careers to date- Collingwood’s Chloe Molloy and Essendon’s Madison Prespakis.

Both are quick and agile and are dangerous in the midfield, but how do their stats compare?

SEASON AVERAGES

Both Molloy and Prespakis have spent similar amount of time on the field this season, but Prespakis leads in many of the categories.

Just about the only category Molloy leads in is marks, but this due to her dual mid/forward role.

CAREER AVERAGES

Looking at both their careers more broadly, and Prespakis still leads many of the categories. This could be perhaps due to the slightly different nature of their roles and how much their teams have relied on them as an individual to win games, but that is up for debate.
