It was a low-scoring start to the game, but in the end Darebin could not get the score on the board as the Pies kicked away a little to take the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29727\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/lauren-brazzale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lauren Brazzale<\/a> was the pick of the goalkickers that day with two, while <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29892\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/angelica-gogos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Angelica Gogos<\/a> picked up a whopping 15 clearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>KEY MATCH UP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"98772\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/megan-ryan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MEGAN RYAN<\/a> vs <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"50244\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/monique-dematteo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MONIQUE DEMATTEO<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although she is not their only avenue to goal, DeMatteo is by far Darebin\u2019s most important one. Playing against her old side today, she has evolved a lot as a player since coming across from Collingwood after last season, and has become even more of a dangerous target than she was before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One player that did not play with her last year but is suited to match up on her is the Pies\u2019 skipper in Ryan. Although normally a midfielder or a ruck, she is listed to start down back today and has played a bit of defence this season, and has both the height and the body strength to match it with a DeMatteo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RAMIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Collingwood, if the Magpies win today they will jump into the top six. Lose, and it becomes a do-or-die battle for finals next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Darebin on the other hand, the equation is pretty simple. Win, and the Falcons keep the faintest of finals hopes alive. Lose, and their season is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-matches\"><strong>OTHER MATCHES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlton vs Southern Saints | 12pm at Ikon Park<\/p>\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\/lauren-brazzale\/\">Lauren Brazzale<\/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\/angelica-gogos\/\">Angelica Gogos<\/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\/megan-ryan\/\">Megan Ryan<\/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\/monique-dematteo\/\">Monique DeMatteo<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THERE may be half as many games in the VFLW today as compared to yesterday, but Sunday&#8217;s action is just as important in determining the way the ladder will look at the end of the season.
