IN A THROWBACK to yesteryear, East Fremantle joined ladder leaders Claremont with a league-high five representatives in our WAFL Women’s Team of the Week for Round 12. The Sharks and Tigers both had big victories, while other winners South Fremantle and West Perth – who also accounted for their opponents well but had more even performers – had three and the four losing sides managed two players each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claremont midfielder Sarah Viney<\/a> was one of five Tigers in the team, and earned the captaincy after a 30-disposal, two-mark, nine-tackle and four-inside 50 performance in the win over Perth. One of her opponents in Demons co-skipper Isabella Shannon<\/a> was awarded the vice-captaincy after another big performance. She finished with 25 disposals, four marks, 12 tackles and six inside 50s in the loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shannon was named alongside last week’s skipper in Jasmine Single<\/a> who was prolific on the wing, as Claremont wing and State squad captain Kate Orme<\/a> was named on the other wing. Other Tigers in the team were ruck Matilda Husband<\/a>, forward Rachel Ortlepp<\/a> and two-time Dhara Kerr Medallist Jayme Harken<\/a> who made it onto the bench in her return WAFLW game from injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n East Fremantle’s vital win over East Perth yielded five representatives with defender Madison Evans<\/a> again named in the back six, while tall Sarah Wielstra<\/a> takes up her spot at centre half-forward. Beside her is the exciting Noa McNaughton<\/a>, while on the bench are skipper Ashleigh Gomes<\/a> and forward Eve Wilson-Sieber<\/a>, the latter of whom kicked two goals alongside Wielstra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n West Perth second gamer Lunay Van Den Heever<\/a> booted 2.3 in the Falcons’ bounce-back win over Peel Thunder, with Madison Dodd<\/a> named at half-back once more, while Mia Robis<\/a> made her Team of the Week debut on the bench. From the Thunder, experienced pair Ebony Dowson<\/a> and Cassie Davidson<\/a> were prolific as always, while East Perth’s Hayley O’Donnell<\/a> made it in at centre half-back, while teammate Layla Firns<\/a> was named on the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In South Fremantle’s upset win over Subiaco, three Dogs made it into the Team of the Week. Liusaidh Gilchrist<\/a> was named off a half-back flank with tackling machine Jasmine Bazeley<\/a> (half-forward) and the returning Alira Fotu<\/a> (full-forward) rewarded for their two goals each. Subiaco’s reliable midfield duo of Krstel Petrevski<\/a> and Paige Sheppard<\/a> rounded out the 24-strong squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While there were plenty of choices for emergencies, the three chosen were South Fremantle’s Hannah Burt<\/a>, Subiaco’s Hayley Corlett<\/a> and West Perth’s Liliana Grassenis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2025 WAFLW TEAM OF THE WEEK: ROUND 12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n B: <\/strong>Ebony Dowson (Peel Thunder) – Madison Evans (East Fremantle) – Cassie Davidson (Peel Thunder) EMG: <\/strong>Hannah Burt (South Fremantle) – Hayley Corlett (Subiaco) – Lilliana Grassenis (West Perth)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
