Launceston’s accurate kicking was the key to a big winning margin in this game. After kicking 3.1 in the first quarter, the Blues piled on six unanswered goals in the second term to open up a 54-point margin at half time. The behinds were slim in the second half as well, with the away side kicking 9.4 to claim a 94-point win. Brie Rattray was the star up forward with five majors while Mikayla Binns, Angela Dickson and Meg Radford each kicked two. Radford, who is a Tasmanian Under 18 representative, has now kicked 11 goals from five games. Fellow Under 18s representatives, Camilla Taylor and Georgia Hill also got on the board with a major, and Taylor was also named in the best, along with Radford. Rattray was named best-on-ground with that five-goal performance, and was complemented by Eastern Allies player, Mia King, who was the only Tasmanian representative in the 48-player AFL Women’s Under 18 All-Australian squad this year. King came up against fellow Tasmanian representative, Lauren Stevenson in this game, who was named second best in Burnie’s loss. Emily Doig was judged best afield. Emily Duncombe, Shelby Aitken, Lila Wijesingha-Frohmader and Shaeli Rodman were the other impressive players for the Dockers. Tasmanian Under-18 representative, Samantha Langmaid also featured in the loss.
