#8<\/strong> Lani Cocks<\/a> (Midfielder\/Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats: <\/strong>27 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 4 clearances, 7 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 3 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again the top-end talent was electric, with Cocks accumulating 27 disposals and seven inside 50s while hitting the scoreboard with three classy goals in a dominant display. She was clean around the contest and powerful in transition, breaking from half-back, using a fend-off and repeatedly driving the ball deep into attack. Her third goal was a standout piece of individual craft – feigning a handball from 40 metres before slamming it home – and she showed her class again by finding Kate Alexander <\/strong>inside 50 with a perfectly weighted kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#14<\/strong> Kate Alexander<\/a> (Forward\/Ruck)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 8 disposals, 1 mark (1 contested), 2 tackles, 7 hitouts, 4 clearances, 1 inside 50, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander made an impact in both of her roles, rotating into the ruck and winning four clearances while also hitting the scoreboard as a forward. Her goal in the second term came after she stayed involved at ground level in the goalsquare, while a good tap down and smother after moving into the ruck showed her follow-up work. She continues to offer Norwood a competitive, versatile option who can influence the game in the air and is becoming more impactful at ground level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#21<\/strong> Elke Cameron<\/a> (Forward\/Midfielder)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats: <\/strong>10 disposals, 1 mark, 8 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cameron\u2019s eight tackles were the defining feature of her game, as the top-ager applied pressure relentlessly around the ball and forced the contest to stay in Norwood\u2019s forward half. She started on-ball and showed clean hands after winning a mark from the kickout, before converting a set shot from 25 metres in the final term. Her defensive intensity and ability to shift between midfield and forward continue to make her a valuable two-way player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#24<\/strong> Ella Anderson<\/a> (Defender)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 14 disposals, 2 marks (1 contested), 2 tackles, 1 inside 50, 7 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anderson was composed and proactive out of defence, providing seven rebound 50s in a performance built on her ability to read the ball and move it cleanly. Her one-on-one win against Tran in the second term – turning the right way under pressure before hitting up a target on the wing – was a particularly impressive piece of footy IQ. The double bottom-ager continues to grow in confidence, and her willingness to take responsibility with the ball is a positive sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#37<\/strong> Mia Wood<\/a> (Wing)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats: <\/strong>14 disposals, 2 tackles, 2 clearances, 4 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bottom-aged Wood continued to look comfortable on the wing, using her running power and clean hands to provide an outlet between the arcs. She set up Amelia Rusden<\/strong> for a goal in the third term, then again helped create a Rusden major in the final quarter after getting the ball away under pressure. The double bottom-ager\u2019s ability to play outside while still working back towards the contest is a valuable string to her bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WWT EAGLES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4<\/strong> Julia Faulkner<\/a> (Forward\/Midfielder)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 9 disposals, 2 marks (1 contested), 3 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faulkner competed hard across forward and midfield, setting up a Klaudia O\u2019Neill<\/strong> goal and applying strong pressure around the ball. Her contested mark and quick dish-off were typical of the clean, instinctive way she plays, while a big holding-the-ball tackle on the wing was another highlight. She copped a knock in the second term that forced her off and appeared to hamper her movement when she returned, though she continued to compete strongly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7<\/strong> Maia Freemantle<\/a> (Midfielder)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 3 marks, 6 tackles, 5 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 5 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freemantle provided terrific drive from the back half, combining five clearances with five rebound 50s in a hard-running two-way performance. She burst off half-back to kick long through the corridor, won a free in the middle after sidestepping Cameron and used the ball cleanly when she found space. Her ability to compete in tight contests, tackle strongly and then spread from the stoppage remains a consistent feature of her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#15<\/strong> Lucy Moore<\/a> (Midfielder\/Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 25 disposals, 9 tackles, 6 clearances, 6 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moore was enormous through the midfield, collecting 25 disposals, nine tackles and six clearances in a tireless on-ball battle with Cocks. She repeatedly won the ball in congestion and drove it forward, including a crucial centre clearance and several long kicks to the hotspot. Her pressure was just as important as her accumulation, and the way she forced rushed disposals before following up to win the ball again was a strong demonstration of her relentless competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stats: <\/strong>10 disposals, 3 clearances, 1 goal, 2 behinds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tran split her time between the midfield and forward line, showing her customary speed and evasiveness whenever she had space to attack. Her goal in the second term was a highlight, gathering in the pocket, bursting clear and finishing from 15 metres, while she also delivered a lovely pass to O\u2019Neill for a goal assist. She could have had an even bigger scoreboard impact after missing two other snapping chances, but her ability to create opportunities from difficult positions was clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#33 <\/strong>Kayla Ilett<\/a> (Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 7 disposals, 1 mark, 2 tackles, 3 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ilett showed encouraging growth in just her third SANFLW game, competing strongly in the forward half. Her best moment came in the third term, laying a strong tackle on Emily Bartsch<\/strong> to win holding the ball before releasing Tahlita Buethke<\/strong>, who found O\u2019Neill for a goal. The NT Academy member presented well as a forward target and followed up her contests, continuing to show the athletic traits that have been evident since her debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#36<\/strong> Ruby Lynch<\/a> (Midfielder)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 17 disposals, 4 marks (1 contested), 3 tackles, 4 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lynch was busy through the midfield, driving the ball inside 50 five times and taking four marks in another versatile performance. She showed her composure in traffic with quick hands and a strong intercept mark on the wing, drawing two opponents before releasing the ball cleanly. Her ability to win clearances, compete aerially and use the ball with purpose gives the Eagles a point of difference through the middle.<\/p>\n

Stats: <\/strong>14 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 2 clearances, 5 inside 50s, 2 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fielder provided plenty of forward drive, while working hard from the contest to both ends of the ground. Her fantastic holding-the-ball tackle at half-forward in the final term and lace-out delivery inside 50 was the best example of her pressure translating into attack. She also showed her burst on the wing with two bounces before kicking deep to a contest, though a couple of free kicks against were costly on an otherwise energetic day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#16<\/strong> Maya Vonarx<\/a> (Defender)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 7 disposals, 1 mark, 4 tackles, 2 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vonarx worked hard across the back half, applying four tackles and spending time matched up on the dangerous Tesharna Maher<\/strong>. She was clean with her quick hands on the wing and put a short pass inside 50 after marking at centre half-forward in the first term. Her willingness to scrap at ground level and take on defensive assignments remains a key part of her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#32<\/strong> Tori Evans<\/a> (Defender\/Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 10 disposals, 3 marks, 3 tackles, 2 inside 50s, 1 rebound 50, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evans again showed her ability to impact in different roles, starting forward before spending time behind the ball and pushing forward late to kick a goal. She laid a great run-down tackle at half-forward in the opening term, then won a free in a marking contest in the final quarter and converted the set shot. Her running power, aerial contest work and ability to contribute at both ends remain appealing traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CENTRAL DISTRICT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3<\/strong> Miyu Endersby<\/a> (Ruck)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 15 disposals, 6 marks (3 contested), 5 tackles, 54 hitouts, 2 clearances, 3 inside 50s, 4 rebound 50s, 1 behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Endersby was simply dominant in the ruck, winning a staggering SANFLW record 54 hitouts and consistently directing taps to advantage around the ground. Her follow-up work was just as impressive, with five tackles, two clearances and a number of strong intercept marks showing her capacity to influence the contest beyond the initial tap. She was involved everywhere – controlling boundary throw-ins, dropping behind the ball to mark and getting involved in scoring chains – in a complete ruck performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>> PLAYER FOCUS:<\/strong> Miyu Endersby (Central District)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
#18<\/strong> Demi Holloway<\/a> (Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 6 disposals, 4 marks, 7 tackles, 2 clearances, 1 goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A defensive player with offensive craft, Holloway was tasked with tight roles on Glenelg midfielders Fielder and Isla Wiencke<\/strong> and brought her usual competitive spirit to the role, laying a fierce seven tackles. She created a goal from nothing in the third term with a sharp snap, and her pressure on the attacking side of the wing helped force the ball forward for another major. A smaller player who makes up for any lack of size with effort, defensive pressure and sharp instincts around the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#19<\/strong> Amalia Musolino<\/a> (Defender)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats: <\/strong>13 disposals, 4 marks, 2 tackles, 1 clearance, 6 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musolino was a reliable source of rebound from defence and showing composure with the kickouts and switch options. Her intercept mark deep in defence in the third term and effective switch kick were highlights of her ability to read the play and use the ball efficiently. She also showed good desperation in the final quarter, forcing a rushed behind before taking the kickout mark and clearing the danger.<\/p>\n

Stats:<\/strong> 13 disposals, 5 marks (2 contested), 4 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 inside 50s, 3 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turner was outstanding, kicking three goals and taking five marks in a performance that showcased her growing all-round forward craft. Her contested mark in the goalsquare and composed finish opened her account, before a long-range set shot after a contested grab on the forward side of the middle and a strong lead-out mark inside 50 completed the haul. She also showed good strength at ground level, shrugging a tackle to release Amber Ward<\/strong> for a goal, and continues to look like one of the competition\u2019s most damaging forwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#14<\/strong> Maya Fuller<\/a> (Wing)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 11 disposals, 4 marks, 1 tackle, 1 clearance, 1 inside 50, 3 rebound 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuller worked hard on the wing and helped North Adelaide transition out of defence, taking four marks and providing three rebound 50s. She showed composure when moving the ball from the back 50 and did well to lock it in on the wing late in the third term. A solid two-way outing from a player who continues to build her game across several roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#30<\/strong> Isabella Beaumont<\/a> (Defender\/Ruck)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 10 disposals, 3 marks (1 contested), 2 tackles, 17 hitouts, 2 clearances, 1 inside 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The versatile Beaumont was thrown into a defensive role at full-back and adapted strongly, taking the kickouts and using her reach to spoil in one-on-one contests. Her intercept marks and aerial work were particularly important, including a great grab in defensive 50 followed by a long kick to the wing. She continued to rotate through the ruck as well, and her versatility in handling such a different assignment was a major positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#35<\/strong> Caitlin Hardin<\/a> (Midfielder)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats: <\/strong>11 disposals, 1 mark, 6 tackles, 1 clearance, 2 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hardin started on the bench but made an impact with her pressure and tackle work, laying six tackles across the game. Her brilliant tackle on Georgia Swan<\/strong> in the defensive 50 to win holding the ball was a highlight, while her quick hands from a half-forward stoppage set up Turner\u2019s third goal. She later showed poise after taking a heavy hit at half-forward, earning a free kick and finding Keira<\/strong> Copeland<\/strong> inside 50 for a goal assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stats:<\/strong> 9 disposals, 5 tackles, 2 clearances, 1 inside 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whiteman rotated through the midfield from the bench and brought her usual defensive intent, applying five tackles in a scrappy game. She won the ball at half-back and sent it towards the middle, while her pressure around ground-ball contests was a feature in the second half. A quieter outing by her standards, but her effort and ability to make the contest difficult for opponents never dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#36<\/strong> Madeline Nuss<\/a> (Forward)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stats:<\/strong> 5 disposals, 2 marks (1 contested), 3 tackles, 1 clearance, 2 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A high impact-per-possession player, Nuss once again showed her natural forward instincts, kicking two goals and creating an important score transition with a brilliant run-down tackle at half-back. Her first goal came after reading the high ball best inside 50 and converting from 30 metres, while her second followed quick hands in a tackle and a clean pickup at ground level to snap truly. She has a knack for being involved in the big moments and her mix of forward craft and defensive effort remains a standout feature.<\/p>\n

A brilliant way to finish off her top-age season, Mableson was outstanding from start to finish, racking up 32 disposals, nine tackles, five clearances, five inside 50s and five rebound 50s in a complete midfield performance. She was clean in the contest, regularly read the taps and worked hard to win the second effort, while her inboard pass from the wing in the third term was a brilliant example of the vision and kicking that make her so damaging. Her one-on-one work against Olivia Evans<\/strong> in the final term – winning the ball, releasing it under pressure and then laying a tackle to lock it in – encapsulated her relentless two-way game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stats:<\/strong> 7 disposals, 1 mark, 8 tackles, 2 inside 50s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newitt\u2019s eight tackles were the headline, as she brought immense pressure through the forward half despite limited chances to accumulate. She pushed high up the ground to tackle on the wing, interrupted a kick in the middle without being credited with a disposal and showed clean hands in the wet when the ball came her way. A forward whose defensive work rate and ability to impact the contest without possession make her a difficult matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
