Egan steers Blues to AFLW win, Locke shines for Port Melbourne VFLW

author avatar

It was another superb outing at the weekend for Goulburn Valley AFLW and VFLW exports.

Shepparton product Grace Egan continued her impressive season in Carlton's comfortable win over Geelong.

Egan enjoyed a 10.4 (64) to 4.7 (31) win over fellow exports, Becky Webster (Benalla), Julia Crockett-Grills (Kyabram) and Millie Brown (Mooroopna).

The tough on-baller finished the game with 24 disposals and four tackles and was one of the Blues’ best performers.

Webster (22 disposals, one goal) and Crockett-Grills (13, four tackles) rounded out the list of better players for the Cats.

The win catapults Carlton into eighth spot, a win from fifth, while Geelong remains winless after six games.

It was a sour day for the Cats and talented defender Brown, with the youngster not running out the game after pulling up with a tight hamstring.

Shepparton's Ange Foley collected 16 touches in Adelaide's 85 to 15 thrashing of Gold Coast Suns.

And Mansfield's Bonnie Toogood was unable to help the Western Bulldogs overcome a strong Collingwood outfit.

● Meanwhile, Seymour's Sophie Locke guided Port Melbourne to back-to-back VFLW wins at the weekend.

Locke backed up her brilliant effort in round one with a three-goal game as the Borough cruised to a 9.5 (59) to 2.3 (15) win over Carlton.

Tallygaroopna's Teagan Brett and Rochester's Sarah Ingram battled hard for the Blues.

Shepparton United product Kate Adams was a strong contributor in the win and as a result Port Melbourne jumped into top spot on the ladder.

Mooroopna's Tamara Smith starred for Geelong in its 7.10 (52) to 2.0 (12) win over Williamstown.

And Finley's Eloise Ashley-Cooper was involved in Essendon's narrow nine-point victory over Casey Demons.
