ROUND 10: PRIDE ROUND
GOLD COAST VS ESSENDON
Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay
Friday November 3 @ 7.45pm AEDT
In Gold Coast and Essendon's first ever AFLW meeting, the teams will be effectively playing off for a place in the top four.
The loser, meanwhile, is a genuine chance to drop out of the top eight altogether.
Everything is on the line in Mackay.
That’s a way to bounce back.
The Bombers took advantage of the breeze in the first quarter, locking the ball in their attacking half and piling on 2.5 from their 10 inside 50s, with Essendon Co-Captain Bonnie Toogood wasting no time in bringing up her 50th career goal.
The Blues managed to stem the flow marginally with their turn with the wind, but just could not get a scoring shot away, while the Bombers stopped up the corridor, with a combined 19 combined tackles from Georgia Nanscawen and Brooke Walker paying dividends.
Meanwhile, Sophie Alexander marked her 50th game with a brilliant three-goal outing, living up to her nickname and forming a dangerous one-two punch with Toogood.
The game had careened out of Carlton's control in the first half, heading into half-time scoreless with a 30 point deficit, after struggling to maintain their structure around the ground. They could not getting their hands on the footy, no thanks to former Blue Maddy Prespakis, who starred alongside her new teammates with 28 touches and 7 clearances.
The Blues' struggles continued after the break, and such was Essendon’s dominance, Toogood alone had taken six forward-half marks by the opening minutes of the third quarter, before Carlton finally got their first score after the margin had blown out to a game-high 42 points in front of a bumper crowd at Windy Hill.
The Blues were eventually put out of their misery, suffering a crushing 32-point loss to their arch rivals.
ESSENDON 2.5 4.6 7.7 8.8 (56)
CARLTON 0.0 0.0 1.3 3.7 (24)
Goals: Alexander 3, Toogood 2, Vogt, Jacques, Dyke
Bests: Prespakis, Toogood, Nanscawen, Alexander, Radford, G.Clarke
Essendon has made one change for its side to take on Gold Coast in Pride Round.
Georgia Gee has been named for her return from a calf injury, with Ash Van Loon to make way.
Sophie Van De Heuvel has been named to line up for her 50th AFLW game.
A win for the Bombers would secure a maiden finals berth in just their second season in the competition.
