Other Panthers in the team were midfielder Caitlin Couch<\/a> who was busy around the clinches, and forward duo Shae Archbold<\/a> (three goals) and Emily Brockhurst<\/a> (two).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Woodville-West Torrens also had a trio of teenagers joining Cutting in the side with Klaudia O’Neill<\/a> kicking a couple of goals up forward, while midfield pairing Imogen Trengove<\/a> and Lucy Moore<\/a> combined for 50 disposals, 23 tackles and 17 clearances in the win over North Adelaide. The Roosters contributed two defenders to the side in Ella Metcalfe<\/a> (15 disposals, 11 marks and six rebound 50s) and forward-turned-back Polly Turner<\/a> (16 disposals, four marks and six rebound 50s) in respective back pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other winning side in Round 10 was West Adelaide with skipper Madi Russell<\/a> anchored at full-back after a strong performance in her 50th game.
