#32<\/strong> Scarlett Bown<\/a>
Forward\/Defender | 178cm | 22\/09\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 12 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 1 hitout, 1 clearance, 2 inside 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The talented tall made the most of her chances in the first term with both of her side’s majors to keep the Chargers in touch early. Her leading, marking and set shot goalkicking all stood out, and then got a taste for life up the other end late in the game where she took a nice mark at half-back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#34 <\/strong>Tatyana Perry<\/a>
Defender | 170cm | 28\/02\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 3 marks, 1 tackle, 1 clearance, 7 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Showed her experience with such a young team and did what she could in defence. Her reading of the play was very good and while often her piercing kicks might have been turned over due to Tasmania’s smart setup in its attacking 50, she was a rock in the backline, spreading and trying her best to find exits. Did well one-on-one too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#40<\/strong> Jessica Owen<\/a>
Ruck | 191cm | 07\/12\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 14 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle, 28 hitouts, 8 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The over-age ruck used her considerable height advantage to take full toll in the ruck and get first hands to it consistency. She racked up 28 hitouts and eight clearances, looking to get the ball forward each time. Posed as a target between the arcs who at the very least could bring the ball to ground, but did her best work at the stoppages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tasmania Devils<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#1<\/strong> Mischa Barwin<\/a>
Forward\/Midfielder | 167cm | 04\/12\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 22 disposals, 5 marks, 9 tackles, 1 clearance, 4 inside 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worked well playing forward and rotating through the middle, often using her evasive skills and smarts to find space in the front half of the ground. Time and time again she worked into the right spots to mark, converting two goals from long-range and using quick hands to keep the ball moving when further afield. Barwin’s defensive pressure was particularly impressive, not giving her opponents an inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4<\/strong> Ava Read<\/a>
Tall Defender | 179cm | 21\/06\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 6 marks, 5 tackles, 4 inside 50s, 7 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the full-strength nature of the team and dominance on the scoreboard, Read stayed in defence for the match rather than be thrown forward or roll through the midfield. She was an intercepting force once again, but also applied great groundlevel pressure too. While at times she may have turned the ball over by foot, she always looked to open the game up. Took a couple of contested marks too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#9 <\/strong>Mia Anderson<\/a>
Midfielder | 171cm | 14\/02\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 37 disposals, 5 marks, 2 tackles, 4 clearances, 9 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An enormous performance from our Rookie Me Central<\/em> Player of the Week with a Coates Talent League Girls career-high 37 disposals as well as nine inside 50s and two goals for the Devils. She loves the inside work, but has a raking kick and is a great finisher on goal which is one of those ticks for midfielders. Enjoying a really consistent top-age season for the Devils and first-up for Allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#15<\/strong> Priya Bowering<\/a>
Midfielder | 169cm | 02\/01\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 18 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle, 6 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly only had the one mark and one tackle which is usually where she separates herself from the rest, but instead she got her opportunity to use her explosive pace and evasion in the game. Often she is feeding it out to teammates, and while she did just that, Bowering had a couple of moments where she could take grass and back herself. Almost kicked a ripping goal but was unfortunately pinged for running too far. Did end up hitting the scoreboard from a handball receive from 40m in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward | 174cm | 23\/03\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 18 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presented at centre half-forward as a marking option and though only credited with two grabs, was able to compete each time and bring it to ground. A powerful kick of the ball, Bingley did well to lower the eyes at times going inside 50, and after missing a snap in the opening minute of the fourth term, had a similar chance not long after and put it through the big sticks.<\/p>\n

#10<\/strong> Katelyn Busuttil<\/a>
Midfielder\/Forward | 164cm | 15\/02\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 30 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 7 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 5 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tried hard all game in defeat and was a reliable ball-winner through the middle. She was a touch fumbly at ground level, but once she had the ball, was able to extract it and bring teammates into the game. Her clearance work stood out as a highlight and Busuttil reads the ball well off hands with nice stoppage IQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#17 <\/strong>Alli Allen<\/a>
Midfielder | 172cm | 15\/10\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 14 disposals, 1 mark, 10 tackles, 5 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got her opportunity through the middle and while not a massive ball-winner, was fantastic defensively and held the opposition to account. A little more composure at times can further enhance her execution, but with time and space she used it effectively and often looked for the little lateral kicks to spread the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#23<\/strong> Phoebe Hargreaves<\/a>
Midfielder | 161cm | 15\/07\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 20 disposals, 1 mark, 4 tackles, 5 clearances, 3 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First game in the midfield after being a small forward all year and Hargreaves produced her most consistent performance, leading by example. The top-age Vic Metro rep has a terrific sidestep that stands out and finds space in tight gaps, and she covers the ground well too. Her clearance work was very good and she always attacks it hard even if at times can be a touch light to stick tackles on bigger bodied players. Impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geelong Falcons<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3<\/strong> Kate O’Brien<\/a>
Ruck | 180cm | 11\/05\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 6 marks, 4 tackles, 30 hitouts, 4 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O’Brien’s performances have been building this year and took advantage of no Isobella<\/strong> Hishongwa-Gibb<\/strong> to use her experience and strength at the stoppages. While her winning hitouts was no surprise – she has done it all year – her work around the ground as a marking target, and at ground level with second and third efforts, was right up there. Took a couple of strong intercept marks as well behind the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#6<\/strong> Chloe Bryant<\/a>
Midfielder | 165cm | 12\/09\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 30 disposals, 6 marks, 4 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Came back into the side with Stella Huxtable <\/strong>and Georgia<\/strong> Tyrrell<\/strong> out and played her role, winning the ball with ease and helping transition it from defence into offence. Her experience at stoppages was key, but having played as a predominant wing in the past who moved inside in stints, she also knew where to run to find space and impacted in both manners. Best on ground in the Falcons’ win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#24 <\/strong>Alana Mulvahil<\/a>
Midfielder | 163cm | 16\/02\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 2 tackles, 1 clearance, 1 inside 50, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of those midfielders who can play both inside and outside like Bryant, Mulvahil showed lightning hands when she won it and was often able to then spread and be a link-up option between the arcs. Her decision making is an area that could further improve such as kicking to a one-on-three inside 50, but she was clean at ground level and applied pressure even if not rewarded with tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#52 <\/strong>Ella Condon<\/a>
Forward\/Ruck | 182cm | 23\/04\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 6 disposals, 2 marks, 3 tackles, 14 hitouts, 1 clearance, 1 inside 50, 2 rebound 50s, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The double bottom-ager started forward then gave O’Brien a chop out in the ruck and held her own. Only won the six touches but was noticeable in the way she presented when inside 50, plucking a mark over the top of her smaller opponent at one stage, then tapping it to herself from a ruck stoppage and following up to slot her second goal. The Vic Country Under 16s MVP poses as a big threat to most defenders.<\/p>\n

Defender\/Midfielder | 165cm | 13\/01\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 1 mark, 7 tackles, 3 clearances, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dodd provided a steady hand in defence for the most part, and was one of a number of rotations on-ball throughout the course of the game. The top-age utility was strong in tackles and effective through tackles, boasting a nice sidestep to get herself out of trouble. Always one to have a crack, it was no surprise to see Dodd among the most prominent tacklers on the field as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midfielder\/Forward | 168cm | 15\/10\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 1 mark, 4 tackles, 6 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 2 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Has been able to hold her own along plenty of talented teammates and played a role in the mid\/forward positions. She tracks it well and can get into ball-winning positions including inside 50. While potentially being cleaner at ground level, Perri is talented in extracting the ball from the stoppage and can win it both on the inside and outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#10<\/strong> Sophia Green<\/a>
Midfielder | 169cm | 22\/11\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 1 mark, 10 tackles, 1 clearance, 1 inside 50, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spent plenty of time on-ball, and though only having the one clearance, was really tough in congestion. She laid double-figure tackles and was able to use either side of her body which helped in transition. Won a lot of touches in a second or third-possession manner and linked up by hand cleanly, covering plenty of ground with her run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#11<\/strong> Majella Day<\/a>
Tall Forward | 176cm | 11\/03\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 12 disposals, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 2 clearances, 1 inside 50, 3 goals, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day continued her great form in front of the big sticks to add another three goals to her season tally, providing a marking target inside 50. She had a couple of soccer attempts of which one went out of bounds but the next went sweetly through the big sticks. Applied pressure effectively for a tall and was quite a handful both in the air and once the ball hit the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#14<\/strong> Ellie Hall<\/a>
Tall Utility | 174cm | 07\/07\/2006<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 27 disposals, 6 marks, 7 tackles, 8 clearances, 7 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hall’s stat-stuffing efforts continued in Round 13, with six or more marks, tackles, clearances and inside 50s to go with 27 touches and a goal. Murray was on top for the most part so the tall over-ager had the ability to push forward and do a lot more offensive work, including finding space to mark and convert a close-range set shot. Always brings effort and knows where to be to win the ball at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#15 <\/strong>Nikhita Spiteri<\/a>
Forward\/Midfielder | 171cm | 20\/07\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 30 disposals, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 4 clearances, 13 inside 50s, 2 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spent a lot of time at half-forward and still racked up more touches than anyone else on the field. She is such a highly competitive player with a great defensive attitude, and while that finishing precision is an area that still has development left, she ran hard throughout the match to be a distributor going long inside 50. Kicked a couple of behinds for the match, but was among the better Bushies for her work rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#24<\/strong> Rose Bell<\/a>
Defender | 170cm | 18\/03\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 21 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle, 1 clearance, 5 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the strength of the attack, Bell was instead used off half-back where she linked up well with her penetrating kicking skills and aerial ability. The bottom-ager showed effective hands over hand and in transition, often intercepting and kicking long down the ground to clear the danger. Bell also spread well and her second and third efforts caught the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calder Cannons<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#31 <\/strong>Chloe Bullen<\/a>
Tall Defender\/Forward | 172cm | 15\/01\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 15 disposals, 1 mark, 2 tackles, 1 clearance, 8 rebound 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A shining light for the Cannons in a tough afternoon, Bullen was often under immense pressure having to clear the ball from danger. She mopped up and did take the odd kickout as well to clear to half-back, trying to get some transitional football happening. Strong and competes above her height, she was thrown forward late in the game where she clunked a mark 30m out and converted the set shot from a 45-degree angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#33 <\/strong>Tessa Berryman<\/a>
Defender | 164cm | 17\/02\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 13 disposals, 4 marks, 4 tackles, 1 clearance, 2 inside 50s, 5 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A raw, but talented player. Berryman provided plenty of run and carry off half-back and she showed a fair aerial ability and understanding of the game. The 16-year-old’s precision can be further improved, but she backs herself, takes the game on and looked really exciting in doing so. One who can aid in transitioning the ball from defence to offence.<\/p>\n

Wing | 169cm | 01\/07\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 15 disposals, 4 marks, 7 tackles, 5 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A smart player who has some exciting traits both offensively and defensively. She pressure opponents around the ball and attacks every contest at full tilt. Throughout the game, she looked to run hard down the wing or get her teammates involved in the chain. Had a chance on goal from long-range off her trusty left but it just fell short and was rushed across the line. A promising bottom-ager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2<\/strong> Olivia Lacy<\/a>
Midfielder\/Defender | 169cm | 15\/06\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 23 disposals, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 3 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was good to see her back in for her first full game since Round 1 of the season. She thrives on the contested aspects of the game, but moves well and makes good decisions with ball in hand that enable her to also influence on the outside. Her ability to move on a dime and spin out of trouble to dispose of it almost in the one motion was a moment that really stood out in a promising return game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#9<\/strong> Beth Morris<\/a>
Midfielder | 167cm | 04\/09\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 23 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 6 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spent the most time on the inside where she was quick by hand or foot to dispose of it and get it out to teammates in space. She won the bulk of her touches at ground level around the coalface but rarely panics and shows nice composure to pick the right option, particularly by hand exiting the stoppage. Another bottom-ager with a bright future, Morris was one of her side’s best around the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#12 <\/strong>Issy Boulton<\/a>
Midfielder\/Forward | 162cm | 21\/05\/2007<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 22 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 2 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The versatile utility continues to just fill holes wherever needed and spent time forward while rotating into the midfield. She kicked an early goal with the outside of the boot well and had a few more chances around the 50. When up the ground, Boulton worked hard defensively and just has a crack at every contest. Another Pioneers player who shared the ball around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
