A late behind from <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"81986\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/kadie-fletcher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kadie Fletcher<\/a> ensured that the match that particular evening would end in a draw. Both sides had players who played very well that evening that will no doubt feature prominently again this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Fletcher, expect the likes of <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"86737\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/luka-yoshida-martin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luka Yoshida-Martin<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29700\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/megan-hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Megan Hunt<\/a> to play well, while for the Bull Sharks <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"81975\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/mikayla-pauga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mikayla Pauga<\/a> was particularly impressive.  Last time was the first time all season either side had dropped any points, but things have been very different since the sides last met back in Round 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, both sides have had a loss since then. Bond lost to Aspley in Round 4 while UQ had a shocker against Coorparoo only two weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, if last time around is anything to go by, expect one hell of an entertaining match that could really go either way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the other grounds, Yeronga South Brisbane have the unenviable task of trying to take down the undefeated Southport, while Wilston Grange will be looking to kickstart its season against Coorparoo. While in the other game Maroochydore travel to Brisbane to take on Aspley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-qafl-women-s-round-7-fixture\">QAFL WOMEN&#8217;S ROUND 7 FIXTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bond University vs UQ<br>Southport vs Yeronga South Brisbane<br>Wilston Grange vs Coorparoo<br>Aspley vs Maroochydore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/luka-yoshida-martin\/\">Luka Yoshida-Martin<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/megan-hunt\/\">Megan Hunt<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/mikayla-pauga\/\">Mikayla Pauga<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFTER a competition wide bye last weekend, the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) Women&#8217;s is back and ready to go as it hits the halfway mark of its season.
