OUR GWS WIN IN 5 MOMENTS:
STEVENS ON OUR WIN AND THIS WEEK'S GAME
PREVIEW:
The final round of the season sees us face Adelaide who are still clinging to second place despite having dropped their past 2 matches (4.6 30 vs 5.3 33 against Bris and 5.2 32 vs 5.4 34 against Melb). Who would have thought 1 month ago that entering the final round that this match would be a live with both sides still a chance to snare a grand final berth. That will change however should Melbourne defeat Fremantle on Saturday arvo at Casey Fields, which would see our extremely slim chances ended.
Our girls continued to build on their form last week against GWS and we've now played 4 pretty good weeks of footy. For mine last week was the best attacking footy we've played all year, we really moved and carried the ball well. For the first quarter our quick ball movement seen an open forward line and GWS hardly venture into their forward 50 such was our dominance. GWS responded by putting numbers back in the second quarter and as has been our problem this season we struggled with being out numbered in the forward line. However for we were effectively able to regain our structures in the second half and reassert our dominance. Last week was the best that we've been able to counter this defensive ploy and it highlights the development of our team work and structures that we were able to do so with great success.
On the day all our forwards showed great form with Hope playing her best game for the year despite being hampered by a bandaged knee. On another day she would have not kicked like Cloke (2.4) and could easily have ended with a bag of 4 or 5 goals, which would have been a nice reward for effort as she's worked hard up the ground in recent weeks and again last week against GWS.
In fairness Hope wasn't alone in missing chances at goal and we easily could have defeated GWS by 50 points, which would have been more reflective of our dominance.
Further up the ground Bonnici also played her best game for year and was arguably BOG in a performance that seen her rewarded with a rising star nomination.
For Adelaide Marinoff, Phillips and Randall are clearly the key ball winners, with Phillips and Perkins forming a formidable partnership up forward and Metcalfe sure to give King a contest in the ruck.
As the outside of outside chances we're going to need to combine the defensive effort of the bulldogs game with our best attacking game and also take every opportunity at goal if we're to be any chance of booking a ticket to Brisbane to face the Lions at Gabba in the grand final. It's all but impossible, however we're technically still a chance albeit we're going to need to play out of our skin and have other results go our way.

The race for second:
- Adelaide win and they finish 2nd; should Adelaide and Melbourne both lose Carlton and us both require significant boosts to the percent to jump them
- Melbourne win and hope Adelaide lose. There's a slim chance they could get in with an Adelaide win, however that would required Melbourne thumping Freo and Adelaide winning by the barest of margins
- Carlton win against Brisbane and hope Adelaide and Melbourne lose. Would need to a big win and a big Adelaide loss
- Collingwood we need Melbourne to lose and for us to defeat Adelaide. A victory by us of 49 points is required to overtake Adelaide's percentage. This however would place us just 1-2 percent above Carlton, so ideally a Carlton lose would be nice too otherwise we're reliant upon a Carlton victory by around 1 goal give or take depending on the scorelines of both matches.
