>> RESULTS: VFLW Round 10 wrap
A bunch of AFLW-listed talents headline the Round 10 stat leaders, starting with speedy Carlton youngster,
Maddy Guerin. While her Blues went down to the Western Bulldogs, Guerin came out on top for disposals (32) and kicks (28) in a display typical of her running style. Geelong’s
Renee Garing also claimed a round-high, dishing out 15 handballs among her 23 touches as the Cats defeated Essendon, jumping to second spot in the process.
Collingwood dominated North Melbourne in enemy territory on Saturday, with senior-listed forward
Sophie Alexander booting two majors and clunking a high of nine marks. She shared that honour with North’s
Meagan Kiely, who has proven dominant in 2021 and currently leads the league for overall disposals, kicks, and marks after 10 games – a mighty effort in a bottom six side.
While Alexander and nine other players snared two goals in Round 10,
Maddison Gay stood alone atop the goalkicking charts with three as Casey downed Williamstown.
Annalyse Lister laid 19 tackles for Darebin to be a standout in that category, while
Tamara Luke enjoyed a day out for Hawthorn, with 37 hitouts among her impressive numbers all-round.
In terms of the season stat leaders, Casey pair
Eliza West and
Imogen Milford remain top of the handball and goalkicking charts respectively, with Kiely dominant across her three categories. Carlton tall
Jorja Borg remains the number one hitout winner with an average of 23.1, while Geelong’s
Tamara Smith now leads the competition for tackles having laid another 10 on Saturday, leading Port Melbourne’s
Courteney Bromage by the slimmest of margins.
