DAREBIN Falcons are on the charge. The standalone side made it four consecutive wins in the VFL Women’s after taking care of the winless Geelong Cats in Round 7 over the weekend. The Falcons are the in-form side of the competition, with Collingwood also making it three straight since their defeat at the hands of Darebin in Round 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROUND 7 RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Essendon 3.7 (25) def. by Box Hill Hawks 6.6 (42) SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The ladder keeps chopping and changing each week and it was North Melbourne Werribee’s turn to take pole position thanks to a 27-point win over Port Melbourne on Sunday. The Roos leapt past Essendon who slipped to third after losing to Box Hill Hawks, while Williamstown joined the three sides on five wins from seven games after winning against Western Bulldogs. The Magpies blitzed the Zebras to close within two points of the top six alongside Darebin, while Carlton secured its second win of the season with a dominant performance over Casey Demons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AFLW DRAFT WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Box Hill’s eye-catching duo of Stasia Stevenson<\/a> (19 disposals, nine tackles, four clearances and five inside 50s) and Isla Baldwin<\/a> (19 disposals, dive marks, two clearances and three rebound 50s) were at it again for the Hawks in the win over the Bombers, while Giants Academy member Amelie Prosser-Shaw<\/a> donned the brown and gold to finish with 11 disposals, two clearances and five rebound 50s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlton’s usual suspects stood up once again with Amy Trindade<\/a> (27 disposals, five marks, three tackles, four clearances and six inside 50s) having some sort of season alongside Octavia Di Donato<\/a> (26 disposals, 12 tackles, three clearances, five inside 50s and a goal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Pies, Dominique Carbone<\/a> lead from the front on her way to 27 disposals, seven tackles, three clearances, seven inside 50s and a goal, while Charlotte Brewer<\/a> (18 disposals, eight marks and four inside 50s) and Tahlia Sanger<\/a> (13 disposals, four marks, 10 tackles, three clearances, four inside 50s and a goal) were both impressive over-agers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In defeat, Abbey Tregellis<\/a> continues popping up for the Zebras, managing 20 disposals, four tackles, three clearances, two inside 50s and two rebound 50s, while her near-namesake Abby Favell<\/a> worked tirelessly in Geelong’s loss to the Falcons, accumulating 23 touches, 11 tackles, eight clearances, four inside 50s and three rebound 50s. She was impressive alongside Lily Jordan<\/a> and Mel Staunton<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lulu Beatty<\/a> laid 11 tackles from 13 disposals, three clearances and three inside 50s in the win, while for the Seagulls, Emily Eaves<\/a> was ridiculous with 14 clearances and seven inside 50s from 19 disposals and nine tackles in Williamstown’s win over Western Bulldogs. Stephanie Asciak<\/a> was the pick of the VFLW-listed Dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ex-Bomber Renee Tierney<\/a> put her hand up for a second chance at AFLW level with 18 disposals, three marks, five tackles, four clearances and a goal, while Alana Barba<\/a> was terrific on the inside for the Roos. Nyakoat Dojiok<\/a> booted another three goals from 14 touches and four marks. For Port Melbourne, Mia Caffry<\/a> (19 disposals, 13 tackles and eight clearances) was the standout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ROUND 8 FIXTURES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, June 14:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Western Bulldogs vs. Port Melbourne @ Whitten Oval, 11:05am Sunday, June 15:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sandringham Zebras vs. Carlton @ Trevor Barker Beach Oval, 11:05am<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
