After trailing by four points at quarter time, the Chargers kicked 3.3 to 0.0 in the second term to take a 17-point lead into the main break. Though it looked like they had it under control, the Stingrays did manage to peg back the margin to a straight kick, before Oakleigh booted the last goal and held sway in a dour last term with the weather at its worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE MOMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crucial 50m penalty to <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"95009\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/abbey-vicino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abbey Vicino<\/a> came against the tide with five minutes left in the match. The talented top-ager who has plied her trade as a forward this season, went to point blank range and nailed the goal to stretch the lead back out to two goals with her side to have the breeze in the final term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>KEY STATS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disposals:<\/strong> 254-219<br><strong>Marks: <\/strong>23-29<br><strong>Inside 50s: <\/strong>43-20<br><strong>Rebound 50s: <\/strong>17-36<br><strong>Tackles:<\/strong> 111-94<br><strong>Hitouts:<\/strong> 39-42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>INDIVIDUAL STATS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"134168\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/chloe-bown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chloe Bown<\/a> (Oakleigh Chargers) 26 disposals, 5 tackles, 4 inside 50s<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"152086\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/zoe-curry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoe Curry<\/a> (Oakleigh Chargers) 22 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 4 inside 50s<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"97454\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/maggie-mahony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maggie Mahony<\/a> (Oakleigh Chargers) 18 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 3 inside 50s<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"97450\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/sarah-poustie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarah Poustie<\/a> (Oakleigh Chargers) 18 disposals, 17 tackles, 4 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<br><strong>Abbey Vicino<\/strong> (Oakleigh Chargers) 18 disposals, 8 tackles, 3 inside 50s, 1 goal<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"101918\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/tahlia-sanger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tahlia Sanger<\/a> (Dandenong Stingrays) 19 disposals, 4 tackles, 3 rebound 50s<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"159122\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/lillian-snow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lillian Snow<\/a> (Dandenong Stingrays) 16 disposals, 6 tackles<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"100425\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/jemma-reynolds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jemma Reynolds<\/a> (Dandenong Stingrays) 16 disposals, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 2 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"128677\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/elli-symonds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elli Symonds<\/a> (Dandenong Stingrays) 14 disposals, 9 tackles, 12 hitouts<br><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"101916\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/zoe-besanko\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoe Besanko<\/a> (Dandenong Stingrays) 9 disposals, 6 tackles, 19 hitouts, 3 inside 50s<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<div class=\"t7_match_result match-result-comparison rmc-block is-match-preview\">\n<div class='match-result_legend'><ul><li>Team<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class='match-result_team'><ul><li class='column-head'><h5 class='heading title h5'>Geelong Falcons<\/h5><img src='https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/geelong-150x150.jpg' \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class='match-result_team'><ul><li class='column-head'><h5 class='heading title h5'>Eastern Ranges<\/h5><img src='https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Eastern-Ranges-logo-150x150.jpg' \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong><em><strong><em>Geelong Falcons 2.3 (15) lost to Eastern Ranges 5.5 (35)<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MATCH SUMMARY:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some of the worst conditions of the season &#8211; right up there with Eastern&#8217;s hard-fought win over the Stingrays in Frankston &#8211; the Ranges came away with a 20-point victory thanks to a fast start. Though pelted by rain and small hail at times, the Ranges raced out of the blocks to pile on 4.2 (26) to 0.0 (0) at quarter time and looked likely to defy conditions and storm to a huge win. But alas, the conditions, and the fierce Falcons defensive efforts caught up with them. Geelong incredibly kicked back-to-back goals early in the fourth term to give them the slimmest of chances, before Eastern booted the sealer midway through the quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE MOMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern&#8217;s first quarter as a whole, but to be specific the first 3:35 which saw the Ranges pile on a goal per minute and not look like missing despite the horrid conditions. <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"151920\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/scout-semple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scout Semple<\/a> booted the first two &#8211; including one ripping snap before a set shot &#8211; then <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"98091\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/georgia-knight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia Knight<\/a> got in on the fun with an equally brilliant finish under pressure.
