Essendon has solidified its position on top of the VFLW ladder with a 52-point win over Williamstown at the NEC Hangar on Saturday.

The Bombers came bursting out of the blocks and never looked back, building their lead in each term to run out 10.5 (65) to 2.1 (13) winners and maintain their unbeaten start to the season.

Their pressure was a feature, limiting the Seagulls to zero marks in the first half in a sign of their intensity.

Marianna Anthony set the tone early in the pressure stakes, finishing with a game-high nine tackles and also leading all comers for disposals (23).

Federica Frew continued her rich vein of form, booting three goals on the back of six against Carlton last week.

Co-captain Mia-Rae Clifford was a constant presence, booting two majors early in the first term to finish with three overall.

The Bombers were without reigning VFLW best and fairest Georgia Nanscawen, who missed with a minor knee injury…

At least it’s only minor. :/

…who missed with a minor knee injury, but had plenty of contributors to smash the Seagulls in disposals (268-167), marks (48-9) and inside 50s (35-13).

Irish debutant Joanne Doonan made a flying start in her new colours, with the former Carlton AFLW player registering 18 disposals, three clearances and four tackles.

Fellow recruits Jordan Zanchetta (21 disposals, six clearances) and Sarah Ford (20 disposals, five marks) were also prominent.

The Bombers will return to the NEC Hangar on Sunday next week when they face the Southern Saints from 11am.

ESSENDON 3.2 5.3 6.5 10.5 (65)
WILLIAMSTOWN 0.0 1.0 1.0 2.1 (13)

Goals: Clifford 3, Frew 3, McIntosh 2, Manfre, Tierney

Disposals: Anthony 23, Zanchetta 21, Ford 20, Radford 19, Doonan 18

Four-midable start: VFLW Dons maintain unbeaten run

The VFLW Bombers solidify their position on top of the ladder.

Yeah, but it’s stupid. It doesn’t seem to be doing it now, but it used to always turn numbers into hashtags as well, e.g., #1 #1, #14 #14, #140, #14th

She was out due to a knee issue last week… funny to change it to rested now.

Essendon’s 50th VFLW game this week, and one of our players hits 50 this week also, Jesse Davies (she played with another team before joining Essendon, so not 50 consecutive with us).

Oooh Saints with the first score

Essendon 0.0 0
Saints 1.0 6

 

[Lore]

Beautiful play, and a goal to Kendra Heil. We are on the board!

6-6

 

[Lore]

And another goal for the saints. It’s game on here, great to watch

6-12

 

[Lore]

And back down our end for another goal!

9 minutes into the first quarter and it’s 12-12

 

[Lore]

Defence has tightened up now, it’s ping pong between half back and half back the last few minutes.

Jessie Davies in her 50th game just went inside 50 and Olivia Manfre takes a beautiful mark and converts.

18-12
