Jasmine Garner’s return to top form has been rewarded with a perfect 10 coaches votes in the win over Fremantle.
Garner collected 29 disposals in a dominant display through the midfield. While she went goalless on the day, her three behinds indicate just how dangerous she was moving into the front half of the ground.
Garner has still been a strong presence so far this season, but the two-time reigning club best and fairest winner was back to her brilliant best against the Dockers.
Ash Riddell has continued to poll in every game the Kangaroos have played so far this season, with the midfielder’s five votes enough to see her retain top spot in the rankings, tied with Fremantle’s Hayley Miller.
Racking up 24 touches for the game, it was the midfielders defensive pressure that turned heads, as she registered a team-high 8 tackles.
Emma King’s show of strong contested marking and exceptional ruck craft also saw her poll five votes, as she finished the game with 9 disposals, 16 hitouts and 5 tackles.
