Lou shooting at 92% did not let the defensive pressure phase her. Leah was strong in WD. Her athleticism and speed was instrumental keeping Maddie Lloyd limited.

Tamir ran out most of the game in centre showing her improvement in confidence and skill over the season.

Emily Laracy continued to be a defense force, teamed with Sophie they are the strongest defence in the O&M.

Giving every opportunity to the shooters to convert.

Lavi certainly brought their best game to push the Roos girls hard with the game going goal for goal throughout but the Roos girls persisted, kept calm and were able to bring home the win.

Kelsey Bullivant was fantastic in centre, leading well and creating space in a physical game, opening up the midcourt.

Courtney Haigh was ever reliable in goalkeeper with her reach and defence over the ball as well as her ability to turn the ball over with tips and reflections a massive asset to the team.

Lisa French in goal shooter kept her cool and was able to shoot the girls into a winning position.

Round nine saw Lavi beat got Roos by 20 goals. The tables were turned in round 18 with the Roos beating Lavi by 19.

Very hard to choose awards this week as every player was a standout.

Charlotte Bott was back to her full form in defence as she was able to turn the ball over and she and Niamh showed the potential of their defensive work.

Eloise shot consistently in GS at 84 per cent and was strong at holding and moving in the ring working well with Sophie and Chloe.

Chloe was a late addition to the team but an absolute essential one as she has just improved over the last part of the season, back to her full form in attack.
