Crowd of 4,234 at Whitten Oval #AFLWDogsDons

A nervous wait for Isabelle Pritchard is on the cards. That stray elbow will almost certainly be cited by the match review officer. #AFLWDogsDons

Not sure I've ever seen Alice Edmonds dominate just this much before. Just brilliant tonight, against no slouch in Steph Wales, too. #AFLWDogsDons

The Dogs' stars are clicking tonight - Pritchard, Edmonds, Hartwig all having massive games. Seriously good stuff. #AFLWDogsDons

Lauren Wakfer is having some sort of season playing as more of a key forward. Just a natural footballer. #AFLWEaglesPies

Pies were torn up in one-on-ones last week against the Bulldogs. Clearly they've gone to work on it because its in the one-on-one that they're getting on top of the Eagles so far today. #AFLWEaglesPies

Darce has been a serious matchwinner here. How good. #AFLWCatsBlues

So, we're watching the making of Emma Kilpatrick right now. #AFLWCatsBlues
