SOUTH Adelaide has dominated the SANFL Women’s Round 13 Team of the Week, with seven players named in the side. The Panthers enjoyed a huge win over the Bays and had three more representatives than any other side with Central District and West Adelaide (four) and Sturt (three) the other winners in Round 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this week’s hypothetical captain, Sturt midfielder Alisha Gepp<\/a> earned the nod after a massive 26 disposals, 12 tackles, 11 clearances, four inside 50s and the match-winning goal. She is well supported by South Adelaide ruck Soriah Moon<\/a> who starred against Glenelg with 20 disposals, five marks – three contested – four tackles, 22 hitouts, eight clearances and two inside 50s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joining Gepp in this week’s side is partner-in-crime and midfielder Isobel Kuiper<\/a>, as well as dangerous forward Georgia Swan<\/a>. The Double Blues’ opponent Norwood had the two representatives, and both slotted into the defensive 50 for this hypothetical side in Sophie Arkun<\/a> and Sarah Branford<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for Moon, she has a stack of teammates filling out almost one third of the team. Her midfielders Nikki Nield<\/a> and Jordann Hickey<\/a> both earned spots in the squad, while a trio of forwards dominated the front half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy Northcott<\/a> booted three goals in her 50th game, while Doreena Hansen<\/a> (three) and Melissa Anderson<\/a> (two) were also dominant in front of the big sticks. The other Panther was double bottom-age winger Layla Vizgaudis<\/a> who was outstanding once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Central District’s big win over North Adelaide yielded four players, as captain Shelby Smith<\/a> and competition leading goalkicker Katelyn Rosenzweig<\/a> slotted into the centre and centre half-forward yet again. Joining them this week were forward Tessa Doumanis<\/a> and Under 16s talent Tara Lord<\/a>. Roosters defender Kristi Harvey<\/a> was the sole North Adelaide prospect despite a tough afternoon in the backline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The return of Sarah Campbell<\/a> for her first game since 2022 resulted in the forward kicking three goals and making it into the forward pocket, while young defender Emily Mableson<\/a> and experienced midfielders Zoe Venning<\/a> and Iilish Ross<\/a> also found their places in the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woodville-West Torrens still had two representatives despite the defeat to Norwood, with ruck Leah Cutting<\/a> the backup to Moon for this week, while Eagles skipper Annie Falkenberg<\/a> was named at centre half-back. The remaining player in the 24-strong squad was Glenelg midfielder Jo Miller<\/a> who had a tough day out in a heavy loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n B: <\/strong>Emily Mableson (West Adelaide) – Kristi Harvey (North Adelaide) – Sophie Arkun (Norwood) EMG: <\/strong>Aprille Crooks (North Adelaide) – Madi Russell (West Adelaide) – Jovanka Zecevic (Central District)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n2024 SANFL WOMEN’S ROUND 13 TEAM OF THE WEEK:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
