As the Lions found the game more on their terms, there was a moment of brilliance in the second quarter where Svarc turned the game for the Lions. Kicking the one goal, Svarc had a stellar afternoon, finishing with 19 touches and a game high of nine tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lions hungry, doing one percenters well<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst it was a tough grind for both teams in the first quarter, the Lions forwards and midfielders such as <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63293\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/greta-bodey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greta Bodey<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29683\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/ally-anderson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ally Anderson<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"75518\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/courtney-hodder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Courtney Hodder<\/a>, <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63291\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/dakota-davidson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dakota Davidson<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"54205\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/isabel-dawes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Belle Dawes<\/a> did not allow the Tigers defensive end any easy targets out of the defensive 50, being outnumbered in the stoppages and clearances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a unit, the Lions did well to spread the field and add quick goals and did well to back each other up and spread the ground well.  The Lions defensive unit also played their role in winning plenty of footy, the pressure of the Lions was too much to handle for majority of the match for the Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Graham and Miller hungry in defense for Tigers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two players that were a shining light in the defensive end was <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"50351\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/rebecca-miller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rebecca Miller<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"75534\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/libby-graham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Libby Graham<\/a>.
