Frangoulis brought immense pressure and scoreboard impact. She rotated on-ball and went in hard to win a series of quick handballs, while also laying some bonecrunching tackles which showed how tough she is despite her smaller frame. Her forward impact was profound in the third quarter, where she kicked the opening goal by marking deep and running into an open goal, followed by setting up a goal for Clough. She added a second goal with a clever snap from the pocket. In the final term, her great release handball set up another scoring opportunity, and she was consistently dangerous charging forward.
I haven’t been scouring all of the AFLW training photos, but VFLW players who have been captured include Jemma Reynolds, Madison Ibrahim, and Tia DAMAGE.
Tay is your NAIDOC Medal winner in what ended up as a comfy win after the team scored 0.13 in the first three quarters (before adding 3.2 in the final):
Double good news would be Lucy Thompson being our runner last night, so making progress… and she replaced Chloe Prpic, who is today playing for Aberfeldie in the EDFL after two days less than two years off injured (ACL + miscellaneous).
EDIT: they lost 26-51 to Oak Park, which is at least good news for Felicity Theodore and Terira Fry (respectively, 9 EFC games in 2021 and 1 game in 2019… but of course you knew that).
