1. Efficiency and finishing a focus

Saturday’s game was another case of missed opportunities, with Waalitj Marawar struggling to capitalise in front of goal. The home side had more scoring shots for majority of the first half, but when the chances presented themselves, couldn’t convert into any kind of scoreboard pressure.

2. Record-breaking Roberts

Superstar teen Ella Roberts managed a club record and career-high 33 disposals, a career-high 19 handballs and a career-high Fantasy points, along with five marks, six tackles and five clearances and a goal. The 19-year-old continues to impress each week, constantly developing her craft and elevating her game to the next level.

She used her strength and physicality around the contest, working hard for second and third efforts and finished with a game-high (4) inside 50s.

4. Schillo keeps shining

Exciting defender Beth Schilling was outstanding on Saturday, her game and confidence continuing to build each week. Schilling managed a career-high 17 touches, six marks, three tackles and game-high 12 intercept possessions. The 21-year-old currently sits equal-fifth in the League for intercept possessions, tallying 72 so far this season.

5. Strong finish against Sydney

While Waalitj are now ruled out of finals contention, the team will look to finish strongly against Sydney at Henson Park on Saturday. This has been the team’s most successful campaign to date, having only previously won two games in a season, and new coach Daisy Pearce will be happy with the progress in her first season at the helm.
