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 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.
