A CONFIDENT Geelong is up and running now with a second consecutive win in the VFL Women’s competition, knocking off Western Bulldogs by 23 points at Deakin University. The Cats continued their impressive work of late, while a stacked Casey Demons filled with AFLW talent destroyed Essendon for their win of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ROUND 10 SCORES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Williamstown 1.6 (12) def. by North Melbourne Werribee 4.9 (33) DRAFT PROSPECTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Over-age Cat Mekah Morrissy<\/a> was brilliant in her side’s victory over the Western Bulldogs, amassing 23 disposals, four marks, 10 clearances, seven tackles and four inside 50s to show off her inside ball-winning ability. The ex-Falcons captain was one of a number of players with past AFLW Draft interest as Abby Favell<\/a>, Lily Jordan<\/a> and Mel Staunton<\/a> all impressed, as did ruck Hayley Peck<\/a> who is enjoying a great year not just at the stoppages but around the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlton’s Amy Trindade<\/a> continues to be a shining light in the Blues’ disappointing season, recording 24 disposals, six clearances, nine tackles and three inside 50s in the most recent loss to Port Melbourne. Similarly in defeat, Emily Eaves<\/a> crashed and bashed her way to 10 clearances from 17 disposals, four marks, three tackles and a goal against the Roos, while Jemima Wrigley<\/a> was equally fierce with 11 tackles from 19 disposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a low-scoring, narrow win, former East Fremantle defender Natasha Entwistle<\/a> had a big day out playing midfield for the Sandringham Zebras, recoding 10 clearances and 15 disposals – 14 contested – to team up well with Abbey Tregellis<\/a> (15 disposals, six clearances and eight tackles). Ex-Hawk Sophie Locke<\/a> booted both of her side’s goals in the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a surprise to few, Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Tahlia Sanger<\/a>‘s outstanding venture up to VFLW level rolled on with 24 touches, six marks, four clearances, six tackles and three inside 50s against the Hawks, as former Stingrays teammate Ruby Murdoch<\/a> had her side’s most touches with 17 as well as five marks. Charlotte Brewer<\/a> (Collingwood) and Isla Baldwin<\/a> and Stasia Stevenson<\/a> (Box Hill) also had some important moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ROUND 11 FIXTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Friday, July 4<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Western Bulldogs vs. North Melbourne Werribee @ Whitten Oval, 7:35pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, July 5<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Collingwood vs. Carlton @ Victoria Park, 10:05am Sunday, July 6<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Casey Demons vs. Geelong @ Casey Fields, 11:05am <\/p>\n\n\n\n
