No one is safe when Dicker is around.
Let’s look at the league season stat-leaders. The top ten is based on total stats but (apart from goals) I report them below as averages.
In this particular case, given the upcoming Game of the Year, I will also list all Hawthorn players who feature in the top ten as well.
Disposals:
1 - Laura Gardiner (Cats) 36.4 (!!!)
2 - Nanscawen 27.6
3 - Radford 22.5
9 - Zanchetta 20.6
10 - Dom Carbone (Haw) 18.7
Goals:
1 - Frew 27
2 - CBomb + Jessie Williams (Haw) 17
4 - Clifford + Kristy Stratton (Haw) 16
6 - Tierney + Tamara Luke (Haw) + others 14
9 - Dicker + others 11
Marks:
1 - Eliza Vale (Footscray) 5.9
2 - Tamara Luke (Haw) 5.7
3 - Tierney 5.1
4 - Clifford 5.0
5 - Marshall 4.7
9 - Radford 3.9
Tackles:
1 - Tamara Smith (Cats) 11.7
6 - Nanscawen 8.1
Kicks:
1 - Tamara Smith (Cats) 17.2
6 - Nanscawen + others 15.4
Handballs:
1 - Laura Gardiner (Cats) 17.7 (!!!)
2 - Zanchetta 11.5
3 - Radford 10.3
4 - Nanscawen 12.1
Hit-outs:
1 - Jorja Borg (Fark Carlton) 29.9
5 - Nalder 23.1
8 - Tamara Luke (Haw) 18.6
(Yes, Gardiner would also have the highest average for kicks, but she hasn’t quite played enough games to get into the top ten total.)
At first I glossed over the Georgie amidst all the Georgias.

Slightly different stats than on the day, as usual. I note the VFL app does get updated after the review.
Essendon’s VFLW side has strengthened its position on top of the ladder with a 57-point thumping of Darebin at Preston City Oval on Saturday.
The Bombers were restricted to three goals in the first half, but piled on six unanswered in the second to power to a 9.10 (64) to 1.1 (7) victory and stay undefeated.
It was yet another prolific performance from captain Georgia Nanscawen , who recorded game-highs in disposals (34), marks (seven), clearances (eight) and inside 50s (six).

The 29-year-old’s dominance allowed the Bombers to control the midfield and smash the inside-50 count (43-19), with Mia-Rae Clifford , Joanne Doonan and Grace Dicker the main beneficiaries with two goals each.
The Bombers were without veteran goalkicker Cecilia McIntosh (hamstring), while star recruits Renee Tierney and Jordan Zanchetta also missed due to health and safety protocols.
Their win sets up a tantalising clash with second-placed Hawthorn from 11:30am at Box Hill City Oval on Sunday.
DAREBIN 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.1 (7)
ESSENDON 2.3 3.4 7.8 9.10 (64)
Goals: Clifford 2, Doonan 2, Dicker 2, Frew, Manfre, Williams
Disposals: Nanscawen 34, Doonan 20, Clifford 18, Barba 16

Bring Georgie back!

Noting that Georgie game was also against Darebin. Like Joe Misiti’s debut, it was three quarters forward before being unleashed into the middle to run amok.

ALL OF THE MEDAL.
REIGNING Lambert-Pearce medallist Georgia Nanscawen is on track to claim another major award after taking the lead in the inaugural rebel VFLW Coaches Player of the Year award.
Essendon captain Nanscawen, who was earlier this year named the Bombers’ first AFLW signing, polled her first perfect 10 vote-haul of the season after picking up 34 disposals, seven marks, eight clearances, six inside-50s and seven tackles in her team’s dominant victory over Darebin.
…
Geelong star Laura Gardiner climbed into third spot on 50, having polled six votes in the Cats’ win over North Melbourne with another huge haul of 39 touches, six rebound-50s and six tackles, but her coach Andrew Bruce told KRock radio she was likely to be rested for the remainder of the season in a hammer blow to their premiership hopes.
Darebin 1.1 (7) lost to Essendon 9.10 (64)
10 Georgia Nanscawen (Ess) = 5+5
