Roos’ unbeaten run over; Saints produce miracle but Dogs season in tatters: AFLW Wrap
There was a third quarter scare to 2021 league best and fairest Bri Davey who appeared to limp from the field with an apparent ankle injury.
And it was relief for Nick Dal Santo who had been under serious pressure following three straight losses to start the season.The Magpies look dejected following the loss to St Kilda. Picture: Graham DenholmThe Western Bulldogs have made their worst-ever start to an AFLW season, leaving their finals hopes in tatters after they lost a thriller to Gold Coast by four points at Carrara on Sunday.
The Dogs had two golden chances to re-take the lead; Heidi Woodley’s snap from 30m out in front missed everything, before Jess Fitzgerald failed to score after being swamped by two Gold Coast defenders. The Bulldogs burst out of the blocks with the opening two goals after registering 11 of the first 12 inside 50s, thanks largely to the work from Deanna Berry in the middle. But the visitors didn’t make the most of their territory dominance, as the Suns kicked the next four majors to grab a stranglehold on the contest in the second quarter.
Bonnie Toogood led the charge for the Bombers with two goals and 22 touches – including eight in the first quarter where she also nailed a goal.
