Larissa Versaci and Samara Pluschke were key parts of East Fremantle's attacking push, combining for 11 inside 50s, 30 disposals and 10 tackles, while exciting underage talent Zipporah Fish (21 disposals, eight tackles) showed why AFLW clubs are keen to sign her. 

Despite a tough result, Evie Cowcher (29 disposals, five tackles), Abby Barnden (13 disposals, 11 tackles) and Greta McKinley (16 disposals, 10 tackles) worked hard all day.

Aspley v Maroochydore 

Aspley has piled on the pain for Maroochydore, putting it away by 36 points thanks to a strong four-goal second quarter. As a result, the Hornets are still more than a game clear in third spot on the ladder, just half a game behind Bond University. 

Jessica Stallard and Mikayla Martin combined for five goals, while exciting Lions Academy prospect Rania Crozier was among those who kicked singles for Aspley. 

Lucy Thompson and Lucy Pengelly were among the named best players for the home side.

Yeronga South Brisbane v Coorparoo 

A masterclass in attack from Chelsea Chesterfield helped Coorparoo to a 29-point victory over a winless Yeronga, firming its place within the top four with just over a month remaining in the 2023 season. 

Coorparoo ran away with it in the final quarter, kicking an inaccurate 2.5 to open up the final margin and win some much-needed percentage. 

Chesterfield kicked five of Coorparoo's six goals, starring for the visitors, as Bonnie Farrell and Hannah McLaughlin both got the nod from the coaches for their performance on Saturday. 

Inactive AFLW Brisbane Lion Zimmorlei Farquharson kicked a goal for Yeronga, as did Tiarnah Isua, while Lions Academy talent Ebony Milne worked hard.

A four-goal final term from University of Queensland has narrowed the gap on Wilston Grange, just one spot above it on the ladder, with a 42-point victory over the Gorillas.  

Brooke Sheridan kicked three of University of Queensland's goals, earning a place in the coaches' bests, alongside fellow goalkicker Julia Dawson and vice-captain Lucinda Benjamin. 

The Red Lions spread the scoring across six different players, proving too much for Wilston Grange's defence to handle. 

For the Gorillas, the coaches acknowledged the work of Kylie Welsh, vice-captain Mackenzie Findlay, captain Chloe Litherland, Gemma Donataccio, Jayme Winter and Caitlyn Rawding. 

Southport v Bond University

Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks 

A dominant final quarter from Box Hill has seen it post an important 27-point victory over Casey, as it remains right in the hunt for a place in finals. 

There were no multiple goalkickers as the Hawks shared the load across six different players, including a returning Abbey Holmes, in for her first game of the season, and Jade Wise who also laid 10 tackles for the match. 

Jordan Mifsud remains a reliable standard setter for Box Hill, with 19 disposals, four clearances and a huge 15 tackles, as Akayla Peterson registered 17 disposals and five clearances as well. 

Pressure from the Hawks was high, as both Grace McRae and Caitlin Thorne laid 12 and 11 tackles respectively as well.

North Melbourne v Darebin 

The Kangaroos have now made it three wins in a row with a 49-point victory over the struggling Darebin Falcons.

The Seagulls are on a tear, winning their last five games as they surge toward a final berth, this weekend beating the Southern Saints by four points to move into third spot on the ladder. 

In a see-sawing battle, the Gulls were able to hold on against a fast-finishing Saints side. 

Jasmine Kawa starred for Williamstown from the ruck, with 26 hitouts, 23 disposals and six clearances, proving once again how important she is to her side. Teagan Brett kicked two goals, while Megan Williamson was handy with six clearances and six tackles.

Winnie Laing, Tayla Kearns, and Melanie Bertuna shared the goals for the Saints. 

Collingwood v Geelong 

Collingwood has shown off its finals credentials in a dominant, albeit inaccurate, win over Geelong on Sunday morning. 

The Pies piled on two goals and nine behinds in the second quarter to take a 26-point lead into half-time, which ultimately proved too much for the goalless Cats. 

Jess Bates was among the home side's best once again, with 27 disposals, six tackles, six clearances and a goal for the day, while Evangelia Nikolitsis set the tone early, finishing with 24 disposals, six tackles and five clearances. 

Down back, Katelyn Lee led an intercepting masterclass for the Magpies, proving to be a brick wall Geelong simply couldn't break through. 

In her first game since February last year where she ruptured her ACL playing for Richmond's AFLW team, Hannah Burchell worked hard on the wing, winning eight disposals, only interrupted by a knee to the back just before half-time which took some time to work through. 

Charlotte Simpson, another who played in last week's U23 All Stars side, was among the Cats' best with 17 disposals and six tackles, while Kalani Scoullar (24 hitouts, five tackles) did what she could in the ruck.
