COLLINGWOOD and Geelong became the second and third teams to reach 50 victories in the rebel VFLW competition with their contrasting victories in Round 13 last week.
The competition's early powerhouse Darebin was the first club to break through the magic mark earlier this season, with the Magpies claiming second spot, amazingly in just their 63rd VFLW match as they downed Port Melbourne by nine points at ETU Stadium.
The Cats have played one more season, grabbing their 50th win in game No.76 with their runaway victory over Williamstown at Williamstown on Sunday.
Individually, Olivia Flanagan came back from her false start the week before to play her 50th VFLW game in Southern Saints' loss to Essendon on Saturday morning, marking the occasion with two of her team's four goals.
Meanwhile, Federica Frew returned to goalkicking form with two in the Bombers' first-ever win over the Saints, and it will take the greatest individual performance in VFLW history to deny her the Rohenna Young Medal, given Darcy Vescio's nine goals for Carlton stands as the record.
