Round 4:<\/strong> North Melbourne-Werribee 9.7 (61) def. Box Hill 4.3 (27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Melbourne-Werribee shrugged off a first half challenge from Box Hill to boot five goals to one after half-time to come away with the 34-point victory at Arden Street Oval. Maddie Di Cosmo<\/a> (27 disposals, four marks and six tackles) and Charlotte Ryan<\/a> (25 disposals, two marks and six tackles) were important for the Roos, while four players kicked multiple goals including Tahlia Meier<\/a> and Charlotte Blair<\/a>. Paige Price<\/a> (17 disposals, 28 hitouts, four marks and seven tackles) was the best for the Hawks, while Stasia Stevenson<\/a> (16 disposals, five tackles and a goal) was also strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Box Hill has opted to keep the same lineup that went down to Collingwood last week, while North Melbourne-Werribee has brought in Courtney Ugle<\/a> – named on a wing – and Georgia Nicholas<\/a> to replace the unavailable Ebony Jackson<\/a>, and Aisling Tupper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PREDICTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Melbourne-Werribee has been the best side all year, and arguably could have just had a blip in the first final against a tenacious Collingwood. The Roos – despite being the away team – should be favourites with the strength of their squad, but the Pies did give an insight into how to beat North Melbourne-Werribee, having done it twice now. Box Hill will need to bring the heat for four quarters to get it done, and a strong start is a non-negotiable given the way the Roos can finish.<\/p>\n
