Rotating between on-ball and the wing, Patterson kept cracking in, and had a few &#8216;almost moments&#8217; where she could not cleanly get it away. Still, the potential Collingwood father-daughter prospect ended her SANFLW season not taking a backwards step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#9<\/strong> <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"124884\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/eloise-mackereth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eloise Mackereth<\/a> <strong>(Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 1 disposal, 2 tackles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a tough day out for the talented bottom-ager who just could not get her hands on the ball, and when she did she was immediately tackled. Her one touch came early gathering off the bounce on the attacking side of the wing and bombing it high into the corridor. Mackereth still applied some great pressure however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#19 <\/strong><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"124521\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/matilda-wilmore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matilda Wilmore<\/a> <strong>(Forward\/Wing)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 4 disposals, 1 mark (1 contested), 3 tackles, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working hard in the attacking half for the ground and running back to assist the defence, Wilmore had a shot on goal in the third term after a great tackle that was unluckily stopped on the line. She kept her pressure up throughout the game and did take a strong contested mark late in the first half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#20 <\/strong><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"85592\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/poppy-scholz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poppy Scholz<\/a> <strong>(Defender\/Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 5 disposals, 3 marks (1 contested), 2 tackles, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning from an ankle injury that threatened to curtail her season, Scholz started in defence and then was thrown forward in the second half before going back to half-back midway through the last quarter. The rust was still there for Scholz, but she took a great mark one-on-one then sidestepped her opponent and slotted a nice goal on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#59<\/strong> <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"156192\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/georgie-fielder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgie Fielder<\/a><strong> (Defender\/Wing)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 2 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle, 1 inside 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another player who couldn&#8217;t get her hands on the ball this game after a few strong performances. She kept running hard and worked up the ground to add another number to the stoppage at times. She only finished with the couple of touches &#8211; which both game in the second term which was a long kick inside 50 and handball away &#8211; but never stopped running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Norwood:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#2<\/strong> <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"104561\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/coby-morgan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coby Morgan<\/a> <strong>(Wing)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 3 disposals, 2 tackles, 2 clearances, 1 inside 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan&#8217;s defensive pressure was on show during the game even if not rewarded for tackles at times. She worked up and down the ground, won a couple of clearances when heading into the stoppage while being on the wing, and had a few nice moments. Ultimately she couldn&#8217;t find much of the ball, but still presented as a running option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#39<\/strong> <a href=\"\/afl\/player\/charli-hazelhurst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Charli Hazelhurst<\/a> <strong>(Defender)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 7 disposals, 2 marks (1 contested), 3 tackles, 2 inside 50, 1 rebound 50)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tall defender did not need to do much at times, but featured through the third term on Scholz as Glenelg started to get more forward 50 entries. She laid a fantastic tackle on <strong>Ash Dyer <\/strong>at half-forward to win a free and kick inside 50 late in the third quarter, and had another eye-catching moment with a lovely kick into <strong>Adrienne Davies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#61 <\/strong><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"151998\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/kate-alexander\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kate Alexander<\/a><strong> (Ruck)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stats:<\/strong> 5 disposals, 2 marks (2 contested), 5 tackles, 21 hitouts, 1 clearance, 2 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Under 16s ruck did well at the ruck stoppages, taking control and sharing the load with Rosie Boon. Norwood dominated the hitout count, and Alexander also clunked a couple of contested marks and applied strong pressure once the ball hit the deck, with her biggest moment coming via a kick inside 50 to co-skipper <strong>Steph Simmonds <\/strong>to slot the go-ahead goal.<\/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_t\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/team\/norwood-womens\/\">Norwood<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_t\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/team\/glenelg-womens\/\">Glenelg<\/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\/violet-patterson\/\">Violet Patterson<\/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\/eloise-mackereth\/\">Eloise Mackereth<\/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\/matilda-wilmore\/\">Matilda Wilmore<\/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\/poppy-scholz\/\">Poppy Scholz<\/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\/georgie-fielder\/\">Georgie Fielder<\/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\/kate-alexander\/\">Kate Alexander<\/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\/event\/glenelg-vs-norwood\/\">Glenelg vs Norwood<\/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>NORWOOD advanced through to the SANFL Women&#8217;s Grand Final after an impressive hard-fought win over Glenelg, coming from fourth spot to send out the Bays in straight sets.
