St Kilda’s charge towards a maiden AFLW finals appearance has continued after they comfortably defeated struggling GWS by 13 points at Moorabbin.
The Saints coughed up the first goal of the match on Saturday, but responded emphatically with six of the next seven, including pairs to Jesse Wardlaw and Ashleigh Richards to open up a game-high 29-point lead early in the third quarter.
For GWS, youngster Zarlie Goldsworthy again showed why she is going to be a star of the future with 18 possessions, nine tackles and two goals, and she was well supported by Alyce Parker who registered 24 touches , eight tackles and a goal. However, the hosts started to get more reward in the second period and after Goldsworthy kicked the opening goal of the game the Saints hit back with four of the next five to lead by 17 points at halftime.The Giants couldn’t capitalise on the strong breeze at their backs in the second stanza, struggling to cope with St Kilda’s overwhelming first-half superiority in the clearances and forward entries .“St Kilda just adapted to the conditions,” he added.
