By the seventh minute mark of the second term, she would have 1.3 to her name in an almost game-breaking effort had those behinds been goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a dominant patch from the Redlegs, it was the youth of the Dogs who regained control, with a handball from Evans to <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"94201\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/dakota-williams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dakota Williams<\/a> to snap Central&#8217;s second goal, and that triggered a nice run with <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"93115\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/jovanka-zecevic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jovanka Zecevic<\/a> converting from a free kick and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"42893\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/katelyn-rosenzweig\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Katelyn Rosenzweig<\/a> running into an open goal but uncharacteristically spraying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third term belonged to Norwood as the Redlegs kicked two more goals through <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"81907\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/grace-mulvahil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grace Mulvahil<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"81970\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/jade-halfpenny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jade Halfpenny<\/a> with the former looking to have kicked a second major but was deemed a behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mulvahil goal was the standout play of the day for the Redlegs, with <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"54290\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/tesharna-maher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tesharna Maher<\/a> bursting out of defence to hit up <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"104561\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/coby-morgan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coby Morgan<\/a> in midfield. The teenager burst off herself and kicked to <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"63278\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/najwa-allen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Najwa Allen<\/a> inside 50 who handballed to the hard-running Mulvahil to slot the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norwood did a lot of the attacking early, and it looked like the visitors were set to ice the game with just one more major. Halfpenny stepped up to have a quick shot but just missed, though it did push the margin out to a game-high 10 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first 14 minutes, it largely belonged to Norwood, but slowly but surely Central worked its way back into the game, with Teague winning a free kick and converting the set shot goal. Then, in the last 90 seconds of the match, Evans showed her class from a marking contest, tapping it to space for her to scoop up and kick off the outside of the boot for a match-winning goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE STAR:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/afl\/player\/caitlin-wendland\/\" data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"96073\" class=\"_dc_spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caitlin Wendland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In truth it was hard to split the Bulldogs&#8217; starting midfield of Wendland, Teague and captain <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"96045\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/shelby-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shelby Smith<\/a>. Wendland is becoming a bonafide star in the SANFL Women&#8217;s, and has a deadly left foot kick. One of the most precise users in the midfield, she had another outstanding game, collecting 17 disposals, four clearances, five inside 50s and laying nine tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SURPRISE PACKET:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/afl\/player\/emily-bartsch\/\" data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"124587\" class=\"_dc_spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emily Bartsch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though she will not necessarily get the credit outside the Redlegs&#8217; four walls, Bartsch was very impressive with her work, particularly in the back half of the ground. She finished with 14 disposals, two marks &#8211; one contested and two tackles, and while her stats do not jump off the page, she played an important role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOUNG GUN WATCH: <\/strong>Jasmine Evans<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was hard to go past the matchwinner who kicked her first ever SANFL Women&#8217;s goal with that sensational effort. Though she will be remembered for that kick to win the game, she played a really consistent four quarters, and showed plenty of talent leading out at half-forward, taking some good marks and delivering inside 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\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\/jasmine-evans\/\">Jasmine Evans<\/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\/caitlen-teague\/\">Caitlen Teague<\/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\/chantel-reynolds\/\">Chantel Reynolds<\/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\/sarah-branford\/\">Sarah Branford<\/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\/alana-lishmund\/\">Alana Lishmund<\/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\/dakota-williams\/\">Dakota Williams<\/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\/jovanka-zecevic\/\">Jovanka Zecevic<\/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\/katelyn-rosenzweig\/\">Katelyn Rosenzweig<\/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\/grace-mulvahil\/\">Grace Mulvahil<\/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\/jade-halfpenny\/\">Jade Halfpenny<\/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\/tesharna-maher\/\">Tesharna Maher<\/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\/coby-morgan\/\">Coby Morgan<\/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\/najwa-allen\/\">Najwa Allen<\/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\/caitlin-wendland\/\">Caitlin Wendland<\/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\/shelby-smith\/\">Shelby Smith<\/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\/emily-bartsch\/\">Emily Bartsch<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_e\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/?post_type=sp_event&p=43307\">Central District Women&#8217;s vs Norwood Women&#8217;s<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon -
