LAST week\u2019s Victorian Football League (VFL) Women’s preliminary final proved to be a shock as minor premier, Collingwood was overpowered by a fierce Geelong side. From finishing in fourth place, Geelong has climbed its way into the Grand Final with a successful series so far, beating Northern Territory (NT) in the semis and now claiming victory over the Pies. <\/span><\/p>\n

Geelong dominated the whole game, even keeping Collingwood to a single goal until the third quarter. The Pies were not without their stripes though, kicking three goals in the fourth quarter. Collingwood\u2019s attempt at a late comeback was in vain though with Geelong prevailing 42-28.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geelong\u2019s ability to work as a team is highlighted by the game-day skill of their best players. Key forward,\u00a0<\/span>Maddie Boyd<\/b> was essential to the Cats\u2019 game, kicking two goals as well as taking seven marks. <\/span>Olivia Purcell<\/b> was able to control Collingwood’s midfielders with a game-high 14 tackles, and <\/span>Madeline Keryk <\/b>was also fantastic with 24 disposals well as getting 10 clearances. Other top players on the ground for Geelong included\u00a0<\/span>Maddy McMahon<\/b>, whose consistent game led to 16 disposals and a goal for her team. <\/span>Richelle Cranston<\/b> also notably laid seven tackles and got six clearances. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite losing, the Pies had their moments with good performances from players like <\/span>Jaimee Lambert<\/b>. Lambert<\/span> was able to make 11 tackles as well as kick the final goal in the game. Lambert was a key player for the Pies, gathering 23 disposals and utilising her position as a midfielder.<\/span><\/p>\n
