West Coast produce a remarkable final-quarter burst to snatch a 12-point AFLW victory in Port Adelaide's debut game, while North Melbourne impress in a big win over Gold Coast.
abc.net.au/news/port-adelaide-overrun-by-west-coast-north-melbourne-gold-coast/101379792Star Port Adelaide recruit Erin Phillips had a quiet first-up display for her new club as West Coast produced a remarkable final-quarter burst to snatch a 12-point AFLW victory.
Ireland's Aisling McCarthy started the late onslaught by selling the dummy to two Port defenders before kicking truly in the pocket. Former Docker Gemma Houghton was prominent early before fading in the second half, but had the honour of kicking Port Adelaide's first-ever goal in the competition. But from the next centre bounce, Gibson crumpled to the turf after her left knee hyperextended while competing for the ball.
