Feel free to compare with my super-duper modelled prediction made after round five.

Most obviously Footscray benefitted from bringing in lots of AFLW players, and Willy… did not.

9 inside fifties in 80 minutes… yikes.

We dominated possession and still had 100 tackles! Gotta love that.

We had the top six disposal-getters. And Nanscawen was NOT first (OK, it was basically a three-way draw).

Gillard may be a stick figure but 6 tackles :heavy_check_mark:

Of the smalls, Dicker and Svarc (especially) should be nervous. Dicker certainly made her moments count, though, and had some tackles.

I’m happy to bring Friswell in and play her and/or Prespakis further upfield. And Snell is also lurking on that emergency list.

Georgia won or drew all of the other stats available to come out top (but the top three are still basically a draw).

(TC = total clearances)

Mud can even un-do shoelaces.

(From Rob Lawson as above; the big batch of photos is yet to arrive.)

@saladin getting schooled here. The faces at the bottom are perfect!

Gillard vs 49 Cubasch, who topped the hit-out tally but had lesser support.

In the background Marianna Anthony is coming off the wing, which means about 5 metres from the bounce due to the relocation out of the mudpit.

Georgia: “Whoah… someone ran down Svarc!”

Our 39 is bigger than your 39.

Looks like the wrist tapes still say “COMPOSURE” and “JUST PLAY FOOTY”.

As you will see later, this photo is clearly extremely early in the game…

Nattie: “I’ll run around them.”

Georgie: “I’ll run through them.”

“Would you like mud with that?”

There are a lot of “footy faces” in this batch; this is one of the kinder ones (of Yassir).

I know CBomb would prefer her own contribution:

The light, the particles everywhere, the shadows, the simultaneous impressions of floating freeze-frame and action… I like!

(As with many of these images, much improved by clicking in for more resolution – in this case, particularly for the water droplets. There is even higher resolution at the original source.)
