#1 <\/strong>Isla Mattsson<\/a>
Forward | 158cm | 21\/09\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 24 disposals, 3 marks, 1 tackle, 4 clearances, 4 inside 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pocket rocket always finds away to be involved be it quick, flick handballs or surging it forward, Mattson was really lively in attack, particularly through the second term. She set up a number of scoring chances and even had a shot on goal herself that hit the post. Clean and tough, Mattsson catches the eye with her movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5 <\/strong>Grace Perrett<\/a>
Midfielder\/Defender | 178cm | 08\/04\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 25 disposals, 2 marks, 6 tackles, 3 clearances 2 inside 50s, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arguably Perrett’s best performance of the season, standing tall and using her frame to advantage in the middle where she started on-ball every quarter. A natural defensive player, the 178cm top-ager found herself drifting back into defence where she could mop up and help out with a couple of strong marks and some seriously clean hands. A no-nonsense player with a booming kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7<\/strong> Luella Hall<\/a>
Midfielder | 173cm | 17\/10\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 15 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle, 5 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Took the move from a wing to the inside well, looking like a natural in there and dictating with her burst speed and ability to transition the ball forward. She hit the scoreboard from a great piece of forward craft to find the space run onto a tap forward from Storey and nail the goal with a classy finish. Her elite athletic traits are hard to miss, and she generally uses the ball effectively. Hall’s 15 touches always feel more like 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#14 <\/strong>Chloe Shipton<\/a>
Midfielder | 166cm | 30\/04\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 23 disposals, 2 marks, 9 tackles, 1 clearance, 1 inside 50, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of Shipton’s better two-way performances with the midfielder absorbing some bumps and bruises, while handing them out in equal measure. She used her burst to get out of trouble from stoppages, though she tended to bounce the ball earlier than required and it lost the distance she had gained from exiting the stoppage. As a whole, Shipton found plenty of the ball but also had impact with it and provided run all over the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#51<\/strong> Sophie Storey<\/a>
Tall Forward | 179cm | 30\/09\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 13 disposals, 5 marks, 1 tackle, 2 inside 50s, 2 goals, 3 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bottom-aged tall forward looked like completely breaking the game open early, kicking two goals from Northern turnovers with a kick across the attacking 50 and then an opposition centre clearance going the wrong way that fell in her lap. She had her chances after that and arguably could have had two or three more goals, but often found herself under pressure and rushed. She clunked a number of strong grabs to have an aerial impact too, which made her a real threat anywhere inside 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NORTHERN KNIGHTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#1 <\/strong>Somer McCormack<\/a>
Midfielder\/Forward | 162cm | 22\/01\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 3 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 1 goal, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McCormack was a lively force through the middle and then went forward and kicked a classy goal on the move during the third term. She should have kicked another just prior to that with a great run-down tackle in the attacking 50 but the shot went well wide. Continued to get involved all over the ground and found the right spots to win the ball and then transition it into scoring positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5 <\/strong>Lola Stone<\/a>
Forward | 172cm | 27\/05\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 5 marks, 5 tackles, 1 clearance, 2 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 2 goals, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looked dangerous in the front half where she was able to kick consecutive goals in the second term and take her side from four points down to eight points up in the blink of an eye. She clunked a great mark back with the flight in the third and showed she has a booming kick when Stone launched from just inside 50 but it went well wide for a behind. Linked up with teammates well and pushed up the ground to assist the defence too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
