Isabel Huntingdon dangerous for the dogs

There can be no question that the 21-year-old defender is an absolute force for the Bulldogs’ backline.

She was largely responsible for spoiling Freo’s attempts to bring the ball forward, stifling their attack and allowing the Bulldogs to lead for the better part of the first three quarters.

There seemed to be little she could do wrong as she was able to get on the end of Freo’s kicks again and again.

She racked up an impressive 15 disposals in her centre half-back role as well as six marks.

She maintained her energy into the fourth quarter but her and the other defenders were eventually overpowered by the Dockers’ persistence that enabled them to take the lead and come away with the win, maintaining their unbeaten status.
