DAREBIN and Geelong headline the Victorian Football League (VFL) Women’s Team of the Week with three representatives each, after impressive wins on the weekend. On the other hand, Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs have one each after their losses in Round 14, while last-placed Essendon has no representatives after suffering a big defeat against the Cats. Every other team has two representatives in this week’s best 22.

The backline is spearheaded once again by Jayde Van Dyk, who is a mainstay in the back six. Western Bulldogs defender, Lauren Spark, who held her own against the Hawks, accompanies Van Dyk in the key position stocks. NT’s Jenna McCormick managed to get her hands on the ball a lot, gathering 31 disposals in an impressive game across half-back.

The midfield picked itself this week with NT captain, Angela Foley demanding her spot after a match-winning two goal and 29-disposal performance. Jess Duffin was also instrumental in Williamstown’s one-point win against Richmond with 30 touches and a goal. Vic Metro representative, Madison Prespakis dominated for Melbourne University, kicking a goal to go with her 28 disposals.

Round 14 was the round of the spearhead forward in the Victorian Football League (VFL) Women’s competition with Hannah Mouncey, Kate Dixon and Sarah Perkins all prominent in their matches. Hannah Mouncey has found herself in some form once again with two goals to go with her 16 disposals for Darebin. Richmond’s Kate Dixon also managed to kick two goals while Sarah Perkins kicked three majors in Hawthorn’s mauling of the Dogs.

Melbourne University captain, Ashleigh Riddell can count herself as unlucky to miss out on a spot in the best 22 this week. She was a pivotal cog in the midfield with one goal from 18 touches. Geelong pair, Richelle Cranston and Mia-Rae Clifford are also extremely unlucky. Cranston was superb in the middle of the ground with 24 touches, while Clifford’s two goals from 13 touches were vital in the win.
