ROUND 4 of AFL Women’s 2020 is set to shake up the competition, with a top-of-the-tables clash to end the round coming in as the biggest match of the long weekend. Fremantle will look to go five from five, while Richmond are still aching to put a win on the board.<\/p>\n
Gold Coast v. Geelong,
\n<\/b>Great Barrier Reef Arena, 6.10pm AEST<\/b><\/p>\n
Sophie Taylor<\/em><\/p>\n Opening Round 5 is an interesting match between two sides with only one win between them so far this season, with both sides’ victories coming against winless the Richmond; for the Suns in Round 2 and the Cats just last round. Both teams have the ability to score well and score quickly, but Geelong has a season under its belt already while their ability to improve on every week to put progressively better efforts on the board makes them a tough battle for the Suns this round. The Suns will need to draw on all the tenacity and pressure that kept them neck and neck with the Lions in Round 3 to put a win on the board against the Cats – something that is ultimately achievable, especially since it’s Geelong that is travelling up the coast for this one.<\/p>\n The likes of Jamie Stanton<\/strong>, Lauren Ahrens<\/strong> and Jade Pregelj<\/strong> will be key for Gold Coast this round, while the omission of Hannah Dunn<\/strong> (calf) will be a frustrating loss for the side which has really relied on Dunn’s tenacity and hunt for the ball, leading the side in both clearances and tackles. Ahrens’ ability to impact the play will be key with clean hands and vision to boot, collecting 27 intercept possessions for the season so far to go with Stanton’s 38 contested possessions, able to create something out of nothing. With the loss of Dunn a real blow, the side will need to tighten up across the field to deny Geelong easy entry inside 50 and rebound the ball.<\/p>\n For the Cats, this is a great opportunity to prove their growth since last season with a win on the road. Olivia Purcell<\/strong> has had a major impact this season as expected, averaging 20.5 touches per match so far, ultimately mostly unstoppable with an ability to not only find the footy but create opportunities for her teammates. Purcell is unafraid to enter the contest, averaging 12 contested possessions across the first four matches of the season while racking up 23 clearances, with her clean skills providing a huge bonus for the Cats. While Purcell leads many of the stats for the Cats, the likes of Rebecca Webster<\/strong>, Nina Morrison<\/strong>, Mel Hickey<\/strong> and Julia Crockett-Grills<\/strong> have been key throughout the season so far, finding plenty of ball and working well as a unit to create a formidable opposition, though the side will certainly suffer without their tackling machine in\u00a0Jordan Ivey<\/strong>, out with suspension this week and leading the side’s tackle count with 22. Geelong ruck, Aasta O’Connor<\/strong> (57 hitouts) will have a tough time taking on Lauren Bella<\/strong> who sits third for hitouts with 78, though the Cats have the tenacity and hunt for the ball to impact off the tap regardless of who wins the ruck contest.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Geelong by 8 points.<\/p>\n GOLD COAST<\/strong><\/p>\n B: J.Pregelj 42 J.Hickey 4 Emerg: S.Riley 8 A.Hamilton 30<\/p>\n In: T.Groves-Little GEELONG<\/strong><\/p>\n B: M.Brown 19 M.McMahon 24 Emerg: N.Garner 22 C.Blakeway 4<\/p>\n In: G.Rankin —<\/p>\n North Melbourne v. Adelaide, Troy Hanning<\/em><\/p>\n The Kangaroos and the Crows battle on Saturday for the second spot on the Conference A ladder. The Kangaroos, who currently second on the ladder, seek to prevent the Crows in third from snapping their four game win streak. The biggest question mark for Adelaide will be how they go into this match without <\/span>Erin Phillips <\/b>once more, having only one game under her belt in an understandably slow return last round and omitted with soreness coming into Round 5. Meanwhile, the Kangaroos will want to carry on from their impressive performance from last week, and lift their winning streak to five on the hop.<\/span><\/p>\n Being second and third on the ladder, the teams’ differences in efficiency and statistics are very minuscule, however one important distinction is that the Kangaroos average many more kicks per game. This could show that they are the more composed team, able to maintain possession by marking and not relying on their midfielders to get it back. However, that\u2019s not much of a problem for the Crows when you have someone like <\/span>Anne Hatchard<\/b> in the side, who averaged 18.9 disposals last season and is still improving. Hatchard has been dangerous in the midfield all season, being strong on both the inside and the outside of packs, and this game will likely be no different. Defensively, <\/span>Ebony Marinoff<\/b>, who averaged 22.8 disposals and 8.3 tackles per game last season and who holds the record for both the most tackles (21) and the highest number of disposals (33), will not make it easy on the Kangaroos’ forward line. <\/span><\/p>\n The Kangaroos are going to rely on their superior tackling abilities this game, averaging 10 more tackles per round with 60 compared to the Crows’ 50. The Crows only had 39 while the Roos had 53 in round four, meaning they will need to really address this element of their game. Along with the Kangaroos averaging slightly more possessions, North Melbourne clearly are the much stronger forward line scoring seven goals to the Crows’ five a game. Mostly because of <\/span>Emma King, <\/b>the forward ruck threat standing at 187cm tall and who kicked eight goals last season. Nevertheless, all signs point towards the North Melbourne side just finding their groove, as they came off a very impressive performance last round. They smashed their handball average of 77, hitting 91, highlighting their development of moving through contests on the run. Similarly, they tallied 253 disposals while so far averaging 215. Led by stars like <\/span>Jasmine Garner<\/b>, North could have a real chance of spoiling the Crows’ party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Kangaroos by 12 points<\/span><\/p>\n NORTH MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/p>\n B: N.Bresnehan 12 T.Randall 16 Emerg: E.Humphries 6 M.Seoighe 13 ADELAIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n B: D.Cox 31 S.Allan 39 Emerg: C.Biddell 12 —<\/p>\n GWS GIANTS v Richmond, <\/strong> Sophie Taylor<\/em><\/p>\n This clash between the GIANTS and Tigers is set to be a big one for both sides but ultimately the Tiges need a win on the board stat after a horror start to their inaugural season. The GIANTS on the other hand have had an up and down season, and while they’ve gotten two impressive wins on the board, have missed a bit of consistency. A loss last round puts them in a good position to bounce back, going off their form in earlier rounds, meaning the Tigers will have to watch out against a side that can well and truly put teams under the pump.<\/p>\n The GIANTS will be without the experienced Alicia Eva<\/strong> this week, out with a foot injury alongside Yvonne Bonner<\/strong> (ankle), though the impact the former has on the side is decidedly more, making it a real question mark for the side. Alyce Parker<\/strong> will need to step up once more, something that shouldn’t be hard for the talented 19-year-old, averaging 17.8 disposals and three tackles for the season so far. Parker is another who doesn’t shy away from the contest, getting down and dirty to ensure her side finds the footy while Jess Dal Pos<\/strong> and Elle Bennetts<\/strong> have proven handy down back aiding Parker to propel the footy forward. Jessica Allan<\/strong> has been a solid mainstay in the ruck, averaging 17.5 hitouts per match though has not had too much of an impact on the ground – though had her best performance for the season last round so will hope to replicate that effort. Haneen Zreika<\/strong> and Rebecca Privitelli<\/strong> will hope to flourish against the Tigers, with the classy players both able to impact both across the field and on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n The Tigers will hope to provide some shock value to the GIANTS this week and pull out a win, but will need to put in a shared effort with a few players putting on consistent performances but ultimately unable to have much of a team victory. The side will be without ball magnet Katie Brennan<\/strong> thanks to a third quarter concussion last round, making this a tough one for the side which has struggled to impact on field even with all their star players at their best, while the loss of Courtney Wakefield<\/strong> (also concussion) is just as impactful after a dominant three-goal performance last round put her side in real contention for an inaugural victory. Monique Conti<\/strong> impressed last week on the track with 28 touches so will want to put her best foot forward once more while the likes of Phoebe Monahan<\/strong> and Kodi Jacques<\/strong> have been fairly consistent, able to impact the contest and could be a real hard unit. Christina Bernardi<\/strong> will want to lift after a couple of rough weeks on the field, and while she booted a goal last round her four touches were just not enough.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> GIANTS by 20 points<\/p>\n GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY<\/strong><\/p>\n B: P.Randall 21 T.Hetherington 9 Emerg: I.Nielsen 25 T.Davies 16<\/p>\n In: T.Mackrill, S.Halvorsen, E.McKinnon RICHMOND<\/strong><\/p>\n B: A.Makur Chuot 34 G.Seymour 28 Emerg: A.Woodward 13 N.Butler 22<\/p>\n In: K.Dempsey, T.Stahl, L.Tesoriero —<\/p>\n Carlton v. St Kilda Sophie Taylor<\/em><\/p>\n The high flying Blues will want to prove their point in the competition this round when they take on St Kilda, a side with only one win under its belt but a great one at that. Carlton has had a stellar start to the season having recruited well at the end of last year, and are sure to put the Saints under the pump with their ability to apply pressure both on the footy and on the scoreboard. While the Saints have not necessarily had a bad start to the season, they are yet to really apply the scoreboard pressure that would ensure them wins, though a pressurised defensive unit against Melbourne got the job done in Round 3. The Saints also pushed Fremantle to the final seconds last round to prove they can apply phenomenal pressure when required, but will need to do a lot more up forward to give opposition sides little opportunity to come from behind and win.<\/span><\/p>\n For the Saints, it seems to be more of a consistency issue with the side floundering in the first few rounds before taking advantage of the likes of <\/span>Caitlin Greiser<\/b>, <\/span>Tilly Lucas-Rodd<\/b> and <\/span>Darcy Guttridge<\/b> who have all had some good games in the mix, while <\/span>Rosie Dillon <\/b>and <\/span>Alison Drennan <\/b>were key players in the almost-victory last week. However, the side was also shot with season-ending injuries last round forcing some changes, with <\/span>Tarni White<\/b> and <\/span>Kate McCarthy<\/b> forced to watch from the sidelines and seeing <\/span>Kelly O\u2019Neill<\/b>, <\/span>Samantha Johnson<\/b> and <\/span>Emma Mackie<\/b> enter the fray. The Blues have had an impressive start to the season, and bar a loss to Collingwood in Round 2 have scarcely missed a beat in season 2020. <\/span><\/p>\n Darcy Vescio<\/strong> proved last round why she is such a key cog for Carlton and, while she missed more than she kicked (2.3), <\/span>Tayla Harris<\/b> had no issue finding the footy inside 50 against the reigning premiers last week in a real hark back to her 2018\/19 season form. In her second season on the big stage, <\/span>Maddy Prespakis<\/b> is having a stellar start to 2020 with an innate ability to find the footy and the tenacity to get the job done in any scenario. Carlton have made no changes this round and ultimately they had no need to after a solid outing last week, with <\/span>Kerryn Harrington<\/b> and <\/span>Lucy McEvoy<\/b> also putting on impressive performances. While St Kilda has the defensive pressure to deny the Blues some easy goals, Carlton has a plethora of players who can have an impact forward making them hard to stop once they get going.<\/span><\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Carlton by 15 points.<\/span><\/p>\n CARLTON<\/b><\/p>\n B: G.Pound 6 C.Wilson 20 Emerg: B.Vernon 31 C.Jones 22 ST KILDA<\/b><\/p>\n B: K.O’Neill 20 C.Fitzpatrick 24 Emerg: C.Whitfort 4 S.Karlson 26 —<\/p>\n Collingwood v. Western Bulldogs, Michael Alvaro<\/em><\/p>\n It is do-or-die for Collingwood as it takes on the Western Bulldogs in Morwell on Sunday, looking to remain in the finals hunt despite a spade of key injuries. In facing a fellow Conference B and inaugural AFLW side, the Magpies can get a true measure of their improvement this year against another developing list.<\/p>\n But the Pies will have to endure their finals tilt without star key defender Ash Brazill<\/strong>, who heartbreakingly went down last week with an ACL injury, while Ruby Schleicher<\/strong> has also been ruled out for the season with a wrist injury. Ringing in the changes, Collingwood have brought Ebony O\u2019Dea<\/strong> and Maddie Shevlin<\/strong> back into the fold among the back five, while Sophie Alexander<\/strong> slots in up forward and Eliza Hynes<\/strong> has been named on an extended bench. The changes mean Sophie Livingstone<\/strong> will have to shoulder much of the defensive responsibility, with Bri Davey<\/strong> a chance to drift back to her customary defensive role.<\/p>\n Injuries have hit the Dogs too, with Bonnie Toogood<\/strong>\u2019s knee complaint from last week ruling her out for this clash. But in a reprieve for the struggling Footscray unit comes in the form of vice-captain Brooke Lochland<\/strong>\u2019s return, with ruck Celine Moody<\/strong> slotting straight back into the starting lineup and Deanna Berry<\/strong> featuring on an extended bench full of young talent. At 1-3 and equal-last in Conference B, Nathan Burke<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s side will hope their current stock has enough in the tank to outgun the wounded Magpies.<\/p>\n The spines of both sides are a key feature, with some high-end movers making up the core of each developing squad. Ellie Blackburn<\/strong> has been ever-present at the heart of the Bulldogs\u2019 side, while young guns Isabel Huntington<\/strong> and Gabby Newton<\/strong> are set to bookend the lineup, but are not locked down to just one role. On the other hand, Collingwood boasts the likes of Davey and Jaimee Lambert<\/strong> through midfield, while Chloe Molloy<\/strong> and Livingstone provide the height up either end, with the former four also all able to have their magnets shuffled.<\/p>\n The youth on show is also notable, with many young pups trusted with key roles. Round 4 Rising Star, Newton heads an impressive list of Under-20s including Elisabeth Georgostathis<\/strong>, Gemma Lagioia<\/strong>, Britney Gutknecht<\/strong>, Hannah Munyard<\/strong>, and Eleanor Brown<\/strong>, while Collingwood is set to line up with Alana Porter<\/strong>, Lauren Butler<\/strong>, Mikala Cann<\/strong>\u00a0and Jordyn Allen<\/strong> among the starters. With plenty of future guns on show, this match-up should pique the interest of neutrals, especially if either side can get the free-flowing ball movement they are capable of, going. It seems more is on the line for Collingwood, but the Dogs will be in for the hunt and can never be counted out if it all clicks.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Collingwood by 10 points.<\/p>\n COLLINGWOOD<\/strong><\/p>\n B: A.Porter 9 S.Livingstone 12 In: E.O’Dea, M.Shevlin, S.Alexander, E.Hynes WESTERN BULLDOGS<\/strong><\/p>\n B: E.Gamble 14 L.Spark 11 In: B.Lochland, C.Moody, D.Berry —<\/p>\n Melbourne v. West Coast, <\/strong> Michael Alvaro<\/em><\/p>\n Round 4 winners Melbourne and West Coast are primed to go head-to-head at Casey Fields, with the chance to notch consecutive victories up for grabs on Sunday afternoon. Home ground advantage should play into the Dees\u2019 favour, unbeaten at their usually blustery fortress this season while the Eagles are yet to notch up an away win from two attempts.<\/p>\n Fresh off a defeating an injury-hit Collingwood side, the Demons will have to manage a string of their own forced omissions, with ruck Meg Downie<\/strong> ill and Lauren Pearce<\/strong> only lasting a week back in the side \u2013 out with knee soreness after playing predominantly forward in Round 4. But the Dees have managed to cover their losses in the tall department with youngster Eden Zanker<\/strong> taking up ruck duties, while Adelaide premiership forward Sarah Perkins<\/strong> may be in for an AFLW return having been named on an extended bench. She comes in as a supplementary player, with untried rookies Brenna Tarrant<\/strong> and Krstel Petrevski<\/strong> also again featuring as emergencies in the squad.<\/p>\n The Eagles will take a reasonably steady squad into this clash as they look to back up a memorable maiden AFLW win, with only one change confirmed as they too opt for an extended bench. Mature-age draftee Chantella Perera<\/strong> has been managed for the trip across the Nullarbor, with Melissa Caulfield<\/strong> set to take her spot in the starting side \u2013 not exactly as a like-for-like. The uncapped Mhicca Carter<\/strong> and social media coordinator Katherine Orme<\/strong> also slot in as inclusions as the Eagles look to maintain their winning formula on the road.<\/p>\n Engine room operator Karen Paxman<\/strong>, the only Demon to average over 20 disposals to date, will again look to outwork the opposition\u2019s prime movers through midfield, with Dana Hooker<\/strong> and skipper Emma Swanson<\/strong> the Eagles\u2019 key ball winners and in serious form. While Daisy Pearce<\/strong> has injected some drive and class to the competition\u2019s stingiest backline, Melbourne have somewhat fallen short up the other end with a points total only good enough for ninth in the league. But given West Coast boast the lowest points total of any side, it is hard to see the Eagles boot a winning score on this long away trip \u2013 with their victorious effort of 30 last time out sticking out among a trio of totals in the teens, and no player kicking more than one goal across the board.<\/p>\n The Eagles will need to get creative forward of centre to break down the experienced and sturdy Dees, but the likes of Hooker, Swanson, Mikayla Bowen<\/strong>, and Imahra Cameron<\/strong> can all find the goals from further afield. In the face of those threats, the Demons will back themselves to outgun their opponent on each line and quell whatever the Eagles can produce in their own half, with a winning score of 46 last week boding well for their chances here against Conference B rivals.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> Melbourne by 15<\/p>\n MELBOURNE<\/strong><\/p>\n B: H.Cordner 21 L.Birch 9 In: L.Mithen, B.Tarrant, K.Petrevski, S.Perkins WEST COAST<\/strong><\/p>\n B: C.Davidson 33 T.Radan 26 In: M.Caulfield, K.Orme, M.Carter —<\/p>\n Fremantle v. Brisbane, Michael Alvaro<\/em><\/p>\n The two conference leaders, Fremantle and Brisbane are set to locks horns at Fremantle Oval on Sunday in a clash between the only remaining undefeated sides.<\/p>\n The hosts sit pretty atop Conference B with an unblemished 4-0 record, one game clear of their next best rivals and with a sizeable percentage of 167.7. Having only travelled once this season, it is fair to say the Dockers have revelled in front of adoring home fans in a successful campaign to date. But a real test on the road in Round 4 against expansion side, St Kilda got a little close for comfort, meaning the Dockers will need to lift this week to stay perfect in season 2020.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the Lions have been the surprise packet of the year, going from strength to strength since downing reigning premier, Adelaide in Round 1 to sit half a game clear atop Conference A. A draw against Gold Coast in the competition\u2019s first-ever Q-Clash remains the only blemish on the Lions\u2019 record thus far, with experienced heads and outstanding rookies helping the them to put a heavy list turnaround firmly in the past.<\/p>\n Both sides look set to come in unchanged, but have the potential to shuffle the magnets with two players each named on respective extended benches. The Dockers have selected Evangeline Gooch<\/strong> and Mia-Rae Clifford<\/strong> as their inclusions, with both looking to break back into a steady line-up after featuring earlier in the season. Similarly, the Lions have added Gabby Collingwood<\/strong> and Jordan Zanchetta<\/strong> to the squad, with the latter yet to get on the park this year.<\/p>\n Each engine room features hardened ball winners, with Fremantle standout Kiara Bowers<\/strong> leading her side for disposals, contested possessions, clearances, tackles, and metres gained to be one of the leading candidates for the league MVP at the mid-way point. She may well be the match-up for exciting Brisbane mature-age draftee Cathy Svarc<\/strong>, who is coming off a breakthrough 23-disposal and two-goal performance against GWS \u2013 all while maintaining a tag on GIANTS star, Alyce Parker. But the Lions\u2019 options through midfield seems a touch deeper, with the pair of Emily Bates<\/strong> and
