VFLW - Round 8 vs Pies @ Olympic Park Oval, 11:30am Sat 14 June 2025

Norf slacked off, and only won 110-22… seven goals to Dojiok (greatest since that nine goals in 2018).

The greatest ever was 16 by Mo Hope (St Kilda Sharks 27.15.177 defeat Knox 0.1.1) in 2016.

That puts them back on top of the ladder with >200%

P.S. 50th game in a row since I missed one with COVID in 2022.

Before this year, Tia and Jayda had 16 goals from 47 games. They have 17 goals from 15 games this year.

Tia has 51 weeks remaining to play 12 more games and knock off Tamsin Crook as the league youngest to 50 VFLW games.

There is a better side-on view on the club Instagram (if you get there before it expires).

Top fantasy players were Carbone, Peck, and Sanger.

  • Molly Heymanson showed decent skills – from a small sample the only player to go at 100% efficiency.
  • 8 players had at least 4 marks: 7 were Pies, one was Tia.
  • Carbone at least equal-top for score involvements, kicks, contested AND uncontested disposals, clearances (12, ahead of Abbey on 9), and frees for.
  • Jayda topped our scores (4) and score involvements (2). Note that with the addition of Heymanson she did not spend any time as ruck.
  • Pies had 5 intercepters ahead of or equal to MFord and Azzopardi (including Bella Clarke and Kasey Lennox).
  • We had 1 of the top 9 accumulators of uncontested possessions (and I bet you didn’t guess it was Melnikas). Contested was more even (Abbey/Sarah/Layla vs Carbone/Sanger/et al).
  • Molan topped game-wide rebounds (5).

Gallivant is UP.

More dome, not sure if better though.

Likely one of Brooker’s three disposals!

Albrecht don’t care how much bigger Lennox is.

Dear readers, I got the shock of my life when Porter was the one to first put us on the scoreboard.
