AFLW: Tigers skipper Katie Brennan is quietly confident her side can pick up their first ever Finals win when the face the Power.
North Melbourne was staring down the barrel of its first loss all season at halftime, but the Roos came back with answers to secure a home preliminary final for the second straight year.
A chase-down tackle from Randall on Erika O’Shea in the middle of the ground led to a Caitlin Gould goal to put the Crows five points in front, but despite handing the Roos their worst inside 50 differential in a single quarter all year, that was the only goal they managed.
Smith veered away from traffic towards the boundary line after gathering the footy, but showed remarkable composure for a player with only two career goals to her name to get back onto her preferred right foot and sail a drop punt through the big sticks from 30m out.Down by five points late in the first term, the Roos were gifted a goal when a Bella Eddey shot at goal dropped short and Crows defender Zoe Prowse picked it up, only to be corralled over the line.
