WESTERN Jets bottom-ager Piper Dixon<\/a> produced a breakout performance during her sides’ 18-point victory over Tasmania Devils on the Apple Isle. Best known for her work close to goal, the crafty forward spent more time up the ground racking up a remarkable 35 disposals – 13 more than any other Jets- in a stat-stuffing game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dixon finished with 25 kicks and 10 handballs, as well as five marks, four tackles, seven clearances, nine inside 50s and a goal. It marked her best performance at Coates Talent League level by far, previously averaging 8.5 disposals from her four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a standout in the win, though opponent and double bottom-ager Matilda Lange<\/a> was phenomenal as well, picking up 29 disposals, 10 clearances, five inside 50s and kicking a last quarter goal that initially put her side in front early in the term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the round there were some massive performances with top-age Falcon Stella Huxtable<\/a> the closest to Dixon for the nomination after an equalling 35 disposals, as well as league-high 13 clearances in Geelong’s two-point nail-biter over Oakleigh Chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past Player of the Week nominee Brylee Anderson<\/a> also had a day out after being rotated out by Metro, finishing with 33 disposals, 12 tackles, 10 clearances and seven inside 50s in a 35-point victory against Northern Knights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three players notched up 30-plus touches in the Murray Bushrangers-Bendigo Pioneers’ clash. Past Player of the Week Ellie Hall<\/a> (37 disposals, three marks, eight tackles, seven clearances and five inside 50s) was huge, as was Sophia Green<\/a> (31 disposals, three tackles and four clearances) in Murray’s 53-point win. Meanwhile, Issy Boulton<\/a> (35 touches, two marks, five tackles, three clearances and eight rebound 50s) did her best in defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others who had bgi days out included Dandenong duo Matilda Argus<\/a> and Evelyn Connolly<\/a>, Gippsland Power pair Ella Stoddart<\/a> and Abby Hobson<\/a> and GWV Rebels’ Scarlett O’Donnell<\/a> and Tilly Stringer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
