#1 <\/strong>Charli Calleia<\/a>
Defender | 169cm | 28\/10\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 19 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 inside 50, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calleia was a solid presence in the defensive half, consistently putting herself in the right spots to intercept and mop up opposition attacks. She showcased her composure with a goal-saving mark on the goalline and another strong intercept mark where she quickly got her hands away. While some of her kicks under pressure resulted in turnovers, her defensive positioning and ability to recover when the ball hit the deck were commendable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2 <\/strong>Sienna Colgan<\/a>
Defender | 171cm | 04\/04\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 18 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 1 clearance, 1 inside 50, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colgan was tasked with kickout duties and generally executed them effectively, often looking to go long to contests at half-back. She went in hard in the defensive 50 and showed great physical resilience, notably riding a bump exceptionally well in the third term to win a high free kick before executing a nice switch. Colgan also pushed up to the middle to take a mark in the final quarter, delivering a nice kick out in front of a leading target at half-forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4<\/strong> Chloe Capeci<\/a>
Defender\/Wing | 167cm | 14\/12\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 18 disposals, 5 marks, 2 tackles, 1 inside 50, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capeci displayed good vision and quick hands when distributing the ball primarily out of defence but pushing up the ground to rotate off a wing as well.. She showed nice technique when marking at half-back and took a couple of strong intercept marks throughout the game. Capeci\u2019s bodywork in one-on-one contests on the wing was impressive, allowing her to weight a nice pass down the ground. She was proactive in charging forward, driving the ball inside 50 and setting up offensive chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5 <\/strong>Renee Ford<\/a>
Midfielder | 167cm | 06\/07\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 20 disposals, 1 mark, 3 tackles, 1 clearance, 5 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ford brought excellent tackling pressure through the middle, highlighted by a huge early tackle that stripped her opponent of the ball. She displayed great vision with a checkside kick to a dangerous area that resulted in a goal assist in the first quarter. Ford was consistently clean with her hands, firing out quick handballs from the contest and at half-forward. Even when tackled or slightly fumbling, she recovered well to get her arms free and keep the ball moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#8<\/strong> Elebertina Schuliga<\/a>
Wing | 165cm | 17\/02\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats: 20 disposals, 1 mark, 3 tackles, 1 clearance, 5 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schuliga provided plenty of run and dash along the wing, constantly trying to weave through traffic and break lines. While her kicking was wayward under pressure, she consistently got herself into dangerous spots. Her explosive speed was on full display as she gathered the ball off the deck and burst forward. Schuliga\u2019s defensive efforts were equally impressive, executing a great run-down tackle on the wing and applying strong pressure to lock the ball up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#10<\/strong> Coco Balmain<\/a>
Midfielder | 175cm | 01\/01\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 30 disposals, 2 marks, 16 tackles, 6 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Balmain was an absolute powerhouse in the midfield, racking up a massive 30 disposals and an incredible 16 tackles. She was a constant two-way threat, reading the ball well and providing powerful drive out of the back half with long kicks to advantage. Balmain\u2019s ability to get her hands free despite strong tackles and feed her teammates was a feature of her game. She consistently drove the ball deep inside 50 and remained a relentless presence around the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#19<\/strong> Tilda Sinclair<\/a>
Defender | 172cm | 19\/09\/2009<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 18 disposals, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 1 inside 50, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sinclair was reliable in the defensive half, tracking the ball well and taking strong one-on-one marks. She showed a nice burst of pace at half-forward to break through a tackle and deliver to the hotspot. Sinclair\u2019s positioning was excellent, allowing her to mark in front in the defensive 50 and execute effective short passes. She attacked the ball hard out of defence and, even when immediately tackled, managed to get her handballs clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MURRAY BUSHRANGERS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5 <\/strong>Eliza Roche<\/a>
Forward | 165cm | 03\/03\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 16 disposals, 3 marks, 5 tackles, 1 clearance, 5 inside 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roche was a lively presence up forward and pushed up the ground to get involved on the wing. She showed great agility inside 50, slipping but recovering well to avoid multiple tackles and chip a short pass to advantage. Roche\u2019s defensive pressure was elite, highlighted by a fantastic run-down tackle on Balmain that won a free kick and directly set up a goal. She consistently looked to charge forward and drive the ball deep inside 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#9 <\/strong>Carmela Perri<\/a>
Midfielder | 168cm | 15\/10\/2008<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStats:<\/strong> 24 disposals, 3 marks, 8 tackles, 3 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perri was a strong and reliable performer in the midfield, consistently winning clearances and firing out handballs to teammates on the outside. She showed excellent strength to stand up in tackles and dish off, while also taking strong intercept marks when resting at half-forward or on the wing. Perri\u2019s hands off the deck were clean, and she followed up her initial efforts well to keep the Bushrangers moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
