Condon also notched the most kicks (20) of anyone in Round 3, while Reid took the equal-most marks (six) alongside Van Berkel and two others. Van Berkel was also tied for the most rebound 50s (seven) after standing up in an under-siege Gippsland defence.<\/p>\n<p>Hard-working Oakleigh midfielder, <strong>Amanda Ling<\/strong> was productive at ground level and at the coalface with 17 handballs, while Calder standout <strong>Georgie Prespakis<\/strong> again showcased her two-way impact with 18 tackles.

Defender <strong>Annie Lee<\/strong> could well have stood alone atop the list of markers, while skipper <strong>Poppy Schaap<\/strong> was on track to lead the same category as well as the inside 50s after being credited with six in each.<\/p>\n<p>16-year-old Western Jets tall <strong>Krystal Russell<\/strong> again impressed in the ruck, backing up a promising debut performance with 28 hitouts &#8211; accounting for nearly 60 per cent of the total hitouts registered as Western fell to Dandenong.
