Engine room Laura Gardiner set the tone early and put on a midfield masterclass, notching 43 disposals with nine clearances to poll eight votes.

Veteran Tanya Kennedy (24, five clearances) and tall Ally Morphett (eight clearances and a game-high 12 inside 50s) received five votes each, while first year player Zippy Fish (20) continued to impress with her run from the backline.
