Rounding out the on-ball group is South Fremantle’s Liusaidh Gilchrist<\/a>, with Subiaco’s Hayley Corlett<\/a> and West Perth’s Taylor Ferguson<\/a> both filling out the specialist wing spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with Gilchrist, the Bulldogs had a further three representatives with that being AFLW-listed Tahleah Mulder<\/a>, forward Shannyn Pomersbach<\/a> and the versatile Madizen Wilkins<\/a>. Ferguson was joined in the side by fellow Falcon Emily Bennett<\/a>, while Corlett had Lions teammates Beatrice Devlyn<\/a> and Krstel Petrevski<\/a> for company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Claremont was the other side to record four players in this week’s side with the top of the table Tigers having a strong presence once again. Defender Claire Ortlepp<\/a>, forward Adele Arnup<\/a> and midfielder Jayme Harken<\/a> featured, as did young gun Eva O’Donnell<\/a> who was named at half-forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The remaining two players in this week’s side were both at half-back, with bottom-age Rising Star Evie Cowcher<\/a> and Royal defender Sabella Banks<\/a>.
