[8] Best players:
Brianna Davey: Looking at Davey last year and she looked like a strong, slowish defender who player mostly one on one football. That is not how she played last night. Her run out of defence was excellent, she left her opponent in the dust. She and the rest of the defenders formed an excellent team defence which stifled the Collingwood forward and allowed our defenders to run the ball out of defence. We often had an ‘extra’ and it was either Davey or Hardiman and they often took the mark or created opportunities for our smalls.
Davey had it 26 times in 60 minutes. That tells you a lot about her work rate and the style of game we played.
Darcy Vescio: Our other marquee player did on the forward line what Davey and co did in defence. She was always dangerous and got the ball off well. Her kicking needs some work, especially under pressure, but she was excellent in knocking the ball to advantage, engaging her opponent (usually out bodying her) and making something out of not much. She did try to take mark of the night, but as the game went on her confidence in her own marking grew and she held some match winning marks.
4 goals from 6 shots and never out of the play when the ball got over the centre line.
Bianca Jakobsson: In many ways I see a LOT of improvement left in Bianca. There were time when she fumbled and time when she should have gone for the mark but let it bounce. Her kicking was not always perfect. However, the longer the game went the better she played and the more confidence she got. She won some excellent one on one contests and moved the ball on well.
Danielle Hardiman: Like Davey, she really led things in defence and took some clutch marks under heaps of pressure. She read the game well.
