As finals draw nearer, the pressure mounts for teams to place in the top 3 of each conference and Round 5 did not disappoint, hosting some great moments of women’s footy. Here are the best of them.
Our match of the week
The long-awaited clash of the two unbeaten teams of the league didn’t fail to entertain the spectators at Freo oval. After a nail-biting four quarters, it was the Dockers that emerged victorious over the Lions, cementing themselves as the firm favourites for the Premiership cup in 2020.

Our goal of the Week
It’s hard not to obsess over an up-and-coming talent as persistent as Caitlin Greiser. She didn’t disappoint this week with a goal that shows her fantastic instincts for the game. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure the Saints another win, but that doesn’t detract from her performance.

Our Mark of the Week
Chloe Molloy was an absolute gun for the Pies this week and was an instrumental part of their win over the Dogs. Not only did she score three of their majors, she also took this inexplicable mark while entangled on the ground.

Our favourite crumb?
Is anything more satisfying than a successful crumb? Maybe a good snap or a screamer, but Darcy Vescio’s effortless style in assisting a major is pretty damn great, too.

Candy Sale of the Round
Fan-favourite Sarah Perkins donned the blue and red for the Melbourne Dees for the first time this week and it was an absolute pleasure to watch. One of her first touches saw her sell some awesome candy which, while it didn’t result in a goal, definitely delighted the crowd.

Our Player of the week
It would be hard for anyone to argue that Sabreena Duffy doesn’t deserve a place on this list after her stellar performance in Round 5. She was the leading goal kicker for the entire round, putting away 4.4 for Freo in the top-of-the-ladder clash that saw the home team win by 18 points.
