#3 <\/strong>Chloe Baker-West<\/a>
Midfielder | 165cm | 02\/02\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 44 disposals, 7 marks, 5 tackles, 9 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 13 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baker-West returned from injury like she had never left, producing a stat-stuffing performance in a clear best on ground effort. She was able to win the ball in all thirds of the ground and consistently got behind the ball to intercept and turn defence into offence. She set up the Cannons’ opening goal to Felicity Mahoney, and though often under pressure with her disposal, never let up and continued to be clean in the air or at ground level. A phenomenal effort considering the time she has missed due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#15 <\/strong>Shauna McElligott<\/a>
Forward\/Midfielder | 162cm | 05\/03\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 18 disposals, 1 mark, 16 tackles, 4 clearances, 3 inside 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While not able to hit the scoreboard this week, McElligott’s defensive pressure was red-hot throughout the game, not giving any opponent an inch on her way to laying 16 tackles. She was good out of the middle winning clearances, and gave her side ongoing chances to lock the ball in the front half with her fierce tackling at half-forward or around the coalface when further afield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandringham Dragons<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#24<\/strong> Claudia Kogler<\/a>
Midfielder | 172cm | 03\/04\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 27 disposals, 3 marks, 11 tackles, 6 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 1 goal, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A talented double bottom-ager with great hands in closer, Kogler has a nice release with ball in hand, and though could have been a touch cleaner at ground level, worked hard with multiple defensive efforts. She won her own ball and stripped the opposition of it time and time again, with her multiple efforts on show when streaming forward in the first half but missing to the left from 40m. Kogler would earn her deserved goal with a clever finish on the move eight minutes into the final stanza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#34 <\/strong>Peggy Martin<\/a>
Forward | 170cm | 05\/05\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 13 disposals, 4 marks, 5 tackles, 2 goals, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looked lively deep in attack, and though she missed a couple of early chances, was able to finish with two majors, both of which came in the fourth quarter. Her first was a quick snap off the boot which sailed home, then in the dying minutes used her body positioning well to mark in front and convert the set shot from 25m out straight in front. Applied some nice defensive pressure inside 50 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#39<\/strong> Chloe Williams<\/a>
Wing | 175cm | 23\/04\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 23 disposals, 7 marks, 1 clearance, 7 inside 50s, 5 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really showed an array of draftable traits in the match, working hard on the outside to transition the ball from the back half into the forward 50. She spread into space, became a switch option or wide target, then used her ability to wheel onto the left and look for 45-kicks to open up play. Covered the ground exceptionally well and has a nice balance of between being able to impact in the air and in possession chains as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#59<\/strong> Maya Duane<\/a>
Midfielder\/Forward | 179cm | 16\/03\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles, 3 hitouts, 4 clearances, 9 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 1 goal, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoying a really promising start to her Coates Talent League Girls career, the top 2009-born prospect was able to consistently put pressure on the Cannons’ defence with her booming right peg going forward. She kicked a nice goal in the second term then won a centre clearance shortly after, doing it all. For a tall she has such outstanding athleticism and lateral movement, slicing between opponents who can seemingly not lay a hand on her. Another impressive game.<\/p>\n

#2 <\/strong>Addison West<\/a>
Midfielder | 166cm | 16\/05\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 1 mark, 6 tackles, 5 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was not West’s most efficient outing, but the explosive bottom-ager essentially played full-time midfield after easing in from a starting wing role this season. She won the bulk of her touches under immense pressure, and while not having as much space as she would like, showed she can crack in and win the hardball and was not afraid to put her body on the line consistently. West also laid numerous tackles to lock the ball at the coalface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5<\/strong> Tayla Olivieri<\/a>
Midfielder | 159cm | 14\/02\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 1 mark, 12 tackles, 9 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olivieri is one midfielder no stranger to getting her hands dirty and she was a standout for the Jets in defence. Either fending off would-be tacklers or throwing it on the boot to clear it from congestion into space, the bottom-age midfielder is a real goer. Her polish is an area that can further improve, but Olivieri is one of those players teammates would love to suit up alongside given her determination and contested work leading by example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oakleigh Chargers<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#11<\/strong> Isabella Mazzei<\/a>
Midfielder | 170cm | 06\/06\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 20 disposals, 4 tackles, 3 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really think she is a touch underrated for what she offers in the midfield, with Mazzei having some exciting traits for next year. She is as clean as any player going around and has a great burst of speed that can get out of a stoppage consistently which was illustrated by her top 10 finish in the 20m sprint at the start of the year when she clocked a time of 3.21 seconds. Like a few in the game, can still get better with that final execution but there’s a lot to like and she can win the ball in a multitude of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isabella Mazzei has had a really impressive bottom-age season for the Chargers. Image credit: Rookie Me Central<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n #26<\/strong> Teagan Murtic<\/a>
Midfielder | 169cm | 22\/10\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 31 disposals, 5 marks, 9 tackles, 6 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sole listed Vic Metro member in the match – not including training partners – Murtic went back to the level and showed why she had earned the honour. Racking up the ball with ease, she was everywhere around the ground and exhibited clean hands and great ground level play as always, but also found space on the outside. A traditional inside talent who is best known for her handball release to bring others into the game, Murtic worked hard to flow to the outside and be an option there too, disposing of the ball well down the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#32<\/strong> Scarlett Bown<\/a>
Tall Forward | 178cm | 22\/09\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 5 marks, 6 tackles, 6 hitouts, 2 inside 50s, 2 goals, 3 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Under 16s Bown was a serious threat up forward for the Chargers in the match, providing an aerial focal point, while also having great recovery and second efforts. She kicked a couple of majors and even left some out there with shots on goal. Will likely be a future midfielder\/forward similar to her sister, but showed that without Bailey Martin<\/strong> in the side, can take over that number one forward role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#50<\/strong> Cleo Barbakas<\/a>
Key Position Utility | 182cm | 07\/01\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 22 disposals, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 13 hitouts, 8 clearances, 8 inside 50s, 2 goals, 3 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Rookie Me Central<\/em> Player of the Week, Barbakas just did a little bit of everything around the ground. She can play ruck, forward, midfield, you name it. Has great athleticism for a tall and competes well both in the air and at ground level. Still has some fundamentals to work on, but finished the game strongly with two second half goals. An exciting prospect for the future who has come alive with the Chargers since coming in off the back of the National Development Championships.<\/p>\n

#21<\/strong> Ally Lappin<\/a>
Tall Defender | 172cm | 21\/09\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 15 disposals, 3 marks, 12 tackles, 2 clearances, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While twin sister Meg<\/em><\/strong> was out of the side representing Vic Country, Ally took up a running half-back role where she was able to both challenge the Stingrays’ forwards in the air, and then use her athleticism to burst away and provide important run and carry. She showed quick hands when under pressure and great strength when confronted to fish off to teammates nearby. Arguably her most influential game of the year, laying 12 tackles as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#24 <\/strong>Alana Mulvahil<\/a>
Midfielder | 163cm | 16\/02\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 2 marks, 10 tackles, 7 clearances, 3 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stepped up around the ball in the absence of Georgia Tyrrell<\/strong> and Stella Huxtable<\/strong>, and showed that she can impact the game be it off a wing or around the coalface. Racking up a clearance more than every third disposal as well as laying 10 tackles, she attacked it hard and was relatively efficient with ball in hand. Mulvahil does have the capacity to use her field of vision to switch when required, though most of her possessions in this game were around the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#26<\/strong> Ava Bilyk<\/a>
Forward\/Midfielder | 167cm | 07\/07\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 12 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The talented bottom-ager was one stiff not to make Vic Country’s final squad given her MVP-winning achievements last year. Playing forward, Bilyk kicked two goals in the second term to provide a spark for her side with one being a snap around her body and another running from the stoppage as she was dragged down. In a sour moment during Geelong’s win, the later saw Bilyk leg twisted under her and having to come off as the half-time siren sounded, not reappearing after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/strong> Nikita Harris<\/a>

The tackling machine worked hard around the middle and was able to dispose of the ball exceptionally quickly when under pressure. She released by hand well and extracted it from the inside to outside, then got reward for effort early in the fourth term when kicking a nice goal out of nothing playing off a wing. Not afraid to take the game on as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#13<\/strong> Indi Sherritt<\/a>
Forward | 158cm | 02\/06\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 31 disposals, 2 marks, 8 tackles, 7 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Racked the ball up around the ground and stood tall during the absence of a host of Vic Country teammates. She won the first centre clearance of the day and kept going from there, being the most prolific player on the ground from a numbers perspective. Given her increased contested work, her efficiency dropped, but Sherritt showed tenacious second and third efforts and battled hard throughout the four quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#55<\/strong> Lily Brittain<\/a>
Wing | 163cm | 26\/01\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 1 clearance, 4 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Under 16s jet played another eye-catching game off the wing and might have some of the best release hands to have come through the pathways. She flicks the ball on at the speed of light to the right spot each time, with he ability to sum up the situation and dish off before her opponent has reacted so well. Had a shot on goal from 35m out that pushed wide and fell short, but otherwise applied great defensive pressure and looked lively in the front half.<\/p>\n

Had a lively game up forward kicking two goals in bookended quarters from set shots in the pockets, but also worked up the ground and spent time around the ball. Barwin adds some evasion and nice lateral movement around the stoppages when in midfield, while also applying great defensive pressure and worrying opponents out of it. Has that X-factor which catches the eye and does well getting in front of opponents when inside 50 to lead into space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#9 <\/strong>Mia Anderson<\/a>
Midfielder | 171cm | 14\/02\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 16 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 8 clearances 1 inside 50, 3 rebound 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Returned from her Allies game to play a key role through the middle and rack up eight clearances from 16 touches with the Devils. A quintessential inside midfielder, Anderson just shows little bits and pieces on the outside as well, kicking another great long-range goal off an intercept mark late in the match. Strong over the ball and fierce as they come, playing a great team game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#15<\/strong> Priya Bowering<\/a>
Midfielder | 169cm | 02\/01\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 7 marks, 5 tackles, 6 clearances, 6 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looked hungry throughout the entire match, determined to win the ball for her side with a point to prove. She was huge around the stoppages as usual, but what really stood out in the clash was her aerial strength not just up forward, but between the arcs too. She leapt for high balls and competed one-on-one, which has always been among her strengths. Best known for her ground level play, it is great to see her starting to adapt traits that are often associated with her when playing forward, around the ground as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#26<\/strong> Harriet Bingley<\/a>
Forward | 174cm | 23\/03\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 15 disposals, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 2 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provided a strong target inside 50 and was strong one-on-one or on the lead. Had a couple of shots that fell short or when wide before converting a nice goal snapping around her body when a few metres out. Applies forward half pressure when inside 50 which is important for a big, and performed her role, doing what she could for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eastern Ranges<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4<\/strong> Asher Fearn-Wannan<\/a>
Wing | 177cm | 14\/12\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 1 clearance, 6 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provided no shortage of run and carry throughout the match and even had a brilliant run-down tackle on Mia Anderson late in the second term. She also got run-down a few minutes later, but risked it consistently to break the lines and put pressure on the opposition defence. Clean off the bounce and capable of working forward once turnovers occur, she was solid throughout the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#6 <\/strong>Tayla McMillan<\/a>
Midfielder | 161cm | 25\/05\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: <\/strong>17 disposals, 1 mark, 5 tackles, 4 clearances, 3 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Started on-ball and worked into the back half at times, McMillan was her consistent self popping up just about everywhere. She has had bigger numbers, but still showed the same impact with her movement through traffic, clean hands and smart decision making skills. In the opening minute of the second term she ran-down the evasive Barwin, and remained a valuable player in the Eastern midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started at half-back, Allen used her athletic gifts in the game to create speed on transition and set up her teammates down the field. On more than a few occasions she charged off the defensive centre line to win the ball, but also had a stint at the coalface where she got her hands dirty winning groundlevel possessions. The conditions and pressure lowered her efficiency, but her metres gained are always where she maximises her impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#12<\/strong> Emily Rankin<\/a>
Midfielder\/Forward | 166cm | 11\/05\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 22 disposals, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 4 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rankin continues to just do her job each week at the stoppages, winning a lot of her touches in close, firing off handballs or just disposing of it before being brought down. Clever around goal, she had some opportunities for scoring assists, but also worked back into defence to apply fierce pressure. Has great hands in close and is clean with her extraction work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
