Match report: Hawks snatch late win over Power

Eagle Emily Bates, assisted in the engine room by Tilly Lucas-Rodd (21 disposals, including seven in the final quarter) and young gun Jasmine Fleming, put in a diligent performance with 12 tackles, 18 disposals, and a special goal.

Despite the late slip, there were some highlights for the visitors – Abbey Dowrick started with a 10-disposal, four-clearance opening quarter, while ruck Matilda Scholz dominated hitouts for the game with 34.

Gemma Houghton booted two goals, while Katelyn Pope scored her side’s opening major for the match, and her first in Power colours.

Port Adelaide was unfortunately unable to hold on in a shattering finish, after having a four-point lead at the final break.

Land of the giants

Both teams’ rucks were everywhere, racking up disposals at will to effectively play as fourth midfielders for their sides. Wales was monumental for the Hawks, dominating not only contested possession but also proving damaging with high disposal efficiency. Scholz, meanwhile, dazzled for the Power in an entertaining ruck duel, getting the better of Wales in the hit-out count.
