I wish I had access to the stats, but I'll do my best anyway.
[1] Katie Loynes: She may be ancient and injury ridden, but by God she makes a difference to our team. her leadership and endeavour were fantastic. Unfortunately, she is quickly heading towards the end. I can't see her on our list next year, as she is struggling with the pace of the game. Give her an inside job and she'll throw herself into with tackles and smothers and real pressure. But on the outside ...
[2] Darcy Vescio is in a rare vein of form. She thrashed her opponent again today and was a part of 5 or 6 goals. Without her, our forward line would be dysfunctional.
[3] Kerryn Harrington had her best game of the year by some kms. She rediscovered her run, and she rediscovered her ability to intercept mark. He runs out of defence were excellent.
For much of the year Kezz has had to play a negative role, which she has done adequately, but it is the confidence the team gains when she runs out of defence and gets 20+ possessions that really makes a difference.
[4] Maddy Prespakis continues her excellent form. She is the Diesel Williams of the AFLW. She isn't fast, but her decision making is always top shelf. I cannot say that of a number of others. And her ability to win the ball out of a pack is second to none.
[5] Mimi Hill: I hope she is not too badly injured, as she was excellent today. How she hasn't got a rising star gig is ... impossible to fathom.
I'll write more when I can see the stats, but I can say that I am really happy with our getting goals from crumbs today. We haven't done that for ages. However, almost all of our goals today were from snaps instead of set shots. We really missed this aspect of our game. Last year, with Chloe Dalton and Brooke Walker, we excelled at running into goals. We need to do that, to break up our patterns. We are too predictable going forward too often!
