Over the weekend, Shepparton export Grace Egan continued her good run of form for Richmond, helping the Tigers to a 10-point win over Carlton on Friday night.
An impressive 18 disposals and eight tackles were the highlights of Egan’s performance, with the 22-year-old following a two-goal, 18-disposal performance against West Coast last time out.
Benalla export Keeley Skepper also featured in this game; however, her one-goal and one-point performance was unable to get her side over the line.
The win puts Richmond in prime position for a finals berth, building an eight-point gap between them and ninth placed Gold Coast.
Another team in line to have a premiership tilt is Geelong, with the Cats also moving eight points clear after downing West Coast by nine points.
An impressive 14-disposal, five-tackle performance from Benalla’s Becky Webster stood out for the hoops, while fellow Cats Annabel Johnson (Echuca) and Becky Webster (Benalla) both had over 10 disposals.
