<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nBefore their enthralling draw with Gold Coast, the Western Bulldogs scored a third-straight win over Geelong to open Round 7. First year draftee Elizabeth Snell<\/a> featured against the Cats, laying six tackles in a typically hard-working display. Her intensity and work ethic have caught the eye of Dogs fans across five outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the hoops on Friday night, star draftee Georgie Prespakis<\/a> had a rare game under double-digit disposals, but laid 11 tackles as her side went down. Fellow Calder Cannons graduate Zali Friswell<\/a> was matched by Irishwoman Rachel Kearns<\/a> for six touches, while Gabbi Featherston<\/a> had it twice in her sixth consecutive game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nAdelaide proved far too strong for Greater Western Sydney on Saturday, keeping the Giants goalless throughout a 40-point drubbing. The Crows unveiled a debutant in the big win, as Glenelg product Brooke Tonon<\/a> got out for her maiden outing after some solid SANFLW form. She managed five disposals and a couple of marks before the customary Powerade shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GWS’ Emily Pease<\/a> notched a career-best 14 disposals for the second time in three games, complimenting the feat with four marks and six tackles. Brid Stack<\/a> also got stuck in with half-a-dozen tackles, while Ally Dallaway<\/a> contributed 10 touches and promising ruck Ally Morphett<\/a> had seven, to go with a couple of clearances and 13 hitouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nAfter a month of pain, Carlton got back onto the winners list with a 46-point salute over St Kilda on Saturday evening. It was a case of ‘Is Jess<\/a>, is Good<\/a>‘ for the Blues, as their ruck addition kicked her first senior goal and provided good fold as Breann Moody<\/a> rotated forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsewhere in navy blue, Paige Trudgeon<\/a>‘s breakout season continued as she took three marks among 12 touches, while Keeley Sherar<\/a> joined the first goal club this week, and club leading goalkicker Courtney Jones<\/a> got troubled the scorers again with a major from eight disposals and two marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In red, white and black, Ella Friend<\/a> turned out for her third game and notched seven touches, while her former Vic Country teammate Ash Richards<\/a> had a clear career high of 13 disposals and three clearances – after three games of three disposals. Lucy Burke<\/a> rounded out the first year representatives with her five touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nYet another player snared their first AFLW goal, this time in Richmond’s mature-age addition Meg Macdonald<\/a>. She also earned two marks and laid as many tackles, while fellow mature-age coup Meagan Kiely<\/a> won 12 disposals as the Tigers got up in a high-scorer over West Coast. Young gun Emelia Yassir<\/a> was also afield for her sixth game, managing five touches and a clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Eagles unleashed another debutant out of last year’s state Under 19 squad – Emily Bennett<\/a>. She managed a handful of disposals but also laid six tackles. Fellow 2021 state academy members Charlotte Thomas<\/a>, Courtney Rowley<\/a>, and Sarah Lakay<\/a> also continue to turn out for the Eagles. The former had the most touches of the bunch (eight), while Lakay won two clearances and 12 hitouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nNorth Melbourne further cemented its finals credentials with a 23-point win over a sliding Collingwood outfit, though first year players were not quite the order of the day for either side. Second-year father-daughter recruit was terrific for the Roos, taking five marks and laying seven tackles to go with her career-high 13 disposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In black and while, first year forwards Eliza James<\/a> and Eloise Chaston<\/a> turned out once again, having only missed one game combined this season. The former managed nine touches and laid four tackles, while the latter had it five times and took a couple of marks as their side went down for a third time in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nMelbourne rounded out an exciting set of fixtures on Monday with its thrilling three-point win over Brisbane on the road. The Dees unleashed their own debutant, Tahlia Gillard<\/a>, who came into a rather settled side and took a pair of marks among her four disposals. First year midfielder Eliza West<\/a> was again terrific, booting her first senior goal and driving forward with smarts and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile for the Lions, electric forward Zimmorlei Farquharson<\/a> again hit the scoreboard as she registered half-a-dozen disposals, while mature-age coup Luka Yoshida-Martin<\/a> equalled her career-best haul of five touches, also laying three tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
