Van Dyke....she;d maybe be the 4th best defender on the night...maybe. Well by the votes, she is the 4th best defender Harrington+Pound+Stevens, all have more votes. Probably couldn't tell you a 5th defender TBH.
re Davey, wasn't her best ever game, but thats the point of my comments re her stats. It was a decent, not outstanding, game and she dominated the stats.
Yes stats are not the be-all and end-all, but given the amount of votes our defenders have got this year, it appears people are well aware of that.
The way I saw it when we had all but lost the momentum and the game, it was Harrington and Van Dyke that steadied the ship, not Davey or Pound or Prespakis. Davey was basically missing in action for the 3rd Qtr, but was very good in the last in reversing the midfield situation.
Pound executed some horrible clangers that contributed to our loss of momentum. In AFLW there are not so many possessions that you can afford players making multiple errors and expect to get away with it! I would have given her votes if not for those 2 or 3 big errors.
