class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Melbourne&#8217;s undefeated record remained in tact after a solid win over Geelong. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geelong certainly challenged the Dees for a fair chunk of the match, but once Melbourne&#8217;s handball game got going, it was hard to stop. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"50232\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/gabby-colvin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabby Colvin<\/a> played an important role in shutting down <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"42895\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/chloe-scheer\/\"

id=\"h-richmond-4-6-30-defeated-fremantle-5-7-37\"><strong>Richmond (4.6.30) defeated Fremantle (5.7.37)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fremantle got back on the winners list with a win over Richmond. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Richmond fought back late in the second half, but ultimately left their run too late. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Richmond&#8217;s approach to feeding its forward 50 was poor in the first half, which allowed the Dockers to skip ahead. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-carlton-6-8-44-defeated-sydney-6-3-39\"><strong>Carlton (6.8.44) defeated Sydney (6.3.39)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carlton also got back on the winners list with a hard fought win over the Swans. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Swans almost caused an upset, but ultimately ran out of time to fully complete it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-western-bulldogs-6-0-36-lost-to-st-kilda-8-6-54\"><strong>Western Bulldogs (6.0.36) lost to St Kilda (8.6.54) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>St Kilda picked up a second win in a row after defeating the Bulldogs to keep their opponents winless to start 2023. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Despite a second term Bulldogs fightback, the Saints held firm to keep their opponents to one goal in the second half to take the win. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-west-coast-6-3-39-defeated-port-adelaide-4-9-33\"><strong>West Coast (6.3.39) defeated Port Adelaide<\/strong> <strong>(4.9.33)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>West Coast finally got on the board in 2023 with a win over the Power.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It was close for much of the night, but strong ball movement is what ultimately helped the Eagles prevail. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-collingwood-6-7-44-defeated-essendon-3-6-24\"><strong>Collingwood (6.7.44) defeated Essendon (3.6.24)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Collingwood returned to the

rel=\"noopener\">Alana Porter<\/a> was particularly impressive as the Magpies kicked away late to take the win.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Things went from bad to worse for Essendon late when <a href=\"\/afl\/player\/sophie-alexander\/\" data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"42888\" class=\"_dc_spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sophie Alexander<\/a> was carted off late with a serious head

<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>North Melbourne bounced from last weekend&#8217;s shock loss with a win over GWS. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a low scoring affair, the Giants really pushed the Kangaroos but errors transitioning into attack really cost the young Giants. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It was such a low scoring match due to the high number of tackles and defensive pressure from both sides. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hawthorn-5-2-32-lost-to-brisbane-8-11-59\"><strong>Hawthorn (5.2.32) lost to Brisbane (8.11.59)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brisbane continued on its merry winning ways, defeating Hawthorn largely thanks to a move into the midfield from <a

data-id=\"63291\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/dakota-davidson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dakota Davidson<\/a> also dominated, booting three majors. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hawthorn relied too much on midfield dominance, but their defence struggled while under siege. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adelaide-7-5-47-defeated-gold-coast-2-3-15\"><strong>Adelaide (7.5.47) defeated Gold Coast (2.3.15)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adelaide kept its undefeated record in tact, largely thanks to its firepower after the Suns matched it in the midfield.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/madison-newman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madison Newman<\/a> dominated with a career best game of 25 disposals, nine marks, and 501m gained, which was 178m more than anyone else on the park.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/lucy-single\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lucy Single<\/a> claimed another scalp in her
