A kick on the final siren from Tara Bohanna has given Gold Coast a thrilling one-point win over Richmond to climb into fifth spot on the AFLW ladder.
Bohanna’s brave mark running back with the flight in the final 30 seconds of the game led the 28-year-old to securing the crucial point in the dying embers as her 40m set-shot squeezed through for a behind.
The thrilling finish on Sunday afternoon gave the Suns their fourth win of the season while the Tigers fall into ninth position with a 3-3 record.
The Suns were hit hard by a feisty opposition who had two former players kick goals against them including Shannon Danckert whose banana gave the Tigers a one-point lead with five minutes left.
But a rushed behind followed by Bohanna’s fourth behind of the game led the Suns to the thrilling 5.5 (35) to 5.6 (36) victory.
Bohanna produced a top performance as she impacted the match with six score involvements, 11 possessions and four marks alongside her match-winning moment.
Alana Gee’s first goal in AFLW midway through the third term proved to be the spark the Suns needed in their second ever win in Melbourne.
Key defender-turned forward Georgia Clayden followed Gee’s effort with a spectacular pick up and running goal moments later to give her side a five-point lead in the 12th minute of the third term.
It was also Clayden’s first goal in AFLW as players packed a first-time scorer for the second time in the space of two minutes, sparking plenty of excitement for the Suns.
In the end, it proved to be the final goal the Suns needed as they held on without a goal in the final term to claim the crucial win in a game that saw the margin remain within 13 points all day.
Suns midfielder Charlie Rowbottom was the leading possession getter on the ground with 31 disposals including 22 contested in a game which required plenty of hard-ball wins.
START OF A RIVALRY?
The club’s AFL men’s team have seen Damien Hardwick move to the Suns after more than a decade at Tigerland where he won three premierships as a coach.
Now the women’s sides are seeing the movement of players in droves between clubs.
Maddy Brancatisano is playing for the Suns after three years at the Punt Road Oval while the Tigers have two former Suns in Shannon Danckert and Courtney Jones in their side.
Gold coast coach Cameron Joyce said that he was “under no allusion” that it would be a close game against the Tigers.
“(A feeling) of relief in the end,” he said post-game.
“Our last two games that we have played against Richmond since I have been coaching have been close so we were sort of under no allusion of what game we were going to get.
“And it sort of turned out that way.”
A big moment at the start of the second term saw both sides collide in a scuffle after ex-Sun Courtney Jones booted a goal from a set-shot which came following a free kick for a dangerous tackle.
GREISER’S BAD MISS
Tigers forward Caitlin Greiser missed a golden opportunity to level the score line towards the end of the third term after receiving a holding free kick 15m out from goal.
Unfortunately, her shot at goal on a slight angle saw her make bad contact with the ball as it hit the side of her boot and missed the goals completely to the right.
FAST FOOTY THRILLS
There was something in the coaching addresses at quarter-time as both sides came out on fire after the break producing some of the most entertaining footy the AFLW has ever seen.
After the first term saw a combined score of 1.1, the first eight minutes of the second quarter featured four goals and plenty of heat in the contest.
It started when Tigers forward Jones kicked a set-shot goal against her former side after receiving a free kick for a dangerous tackle.
Her goal just over a minute into the first term extended the Tigers margin to 11 points.
Tensions rose when Jones got in the face of her opposition after scoring the goal as players piled in for the scuffle.
The Suns pounced back with a goal a minute later however through Niamh McLaughlin and then Jamie Stanton scored another for the visitors who claimed back the lead.
But when crafty Tigers forward Stella Reid spectacularly dribbled a ball through from the pocket, the Tigers regained the lead again.
Reid’s stunning goal was the fourth of the term, coming in just seven minutes of play.
Former Tiger player and current Suns forward Maddy Brancatisano said the contest was “pretty hot” after the flurry of majors in an interview during the second quart

GOAL-LINE CONTROVERSY ERUPTS IN SISTER ACT
The battle of the Prespakis sisters fell the way of Madison in an inspirational Essendon 10-point win over Geelong in Warrnambool on Sunday afternoon.
Madison had a season and game-high 33 disposals in her 50th AFLW game while her younger sister Georgia playing for the Cats in her 25th game trailed her older sibling with 26 touches.
It was a special performance from the pair as both their respective teams played off in a tight affair in country Victoria where the margin never exceeded more than 15 points all day.
And with the scores level at the three-quarter time, it was the Bombers who continued to add to their momentum scoring two goals to nil in the last term to claim a 4.5 (29) to 2.7 (19) win and enter the top eight with a 4-2 record.
Meanwhile the Cats go to 3-3 and could fall outside the top eight at the end of the round.
Early on it was Cats forward Chloe Sheer who extended her goal tally to 12 this season after two sharp first-quarter goals to give her side reward for their early dominance.
The Cats won 12 inside 50’s in a row after the Bombers got the first two of the game.
The Bombers bounced back strongly after a scoreless first term as Amber Clarke got a fortuitous bounce with her snap to cut the deficit to six points and give her side their first goal.
The goal on the brink of halftime was one Natalie Wood’s ladies deserved after keeping the Cats to one scoring shot to the Bombers four in the quarter.
The Bombers continued their resurgence after halftime as Bonnie Toogood took a strong contested mark inside 50 and kicked truly from 25m out to cut the deficit to a point.
Since quarter time the Bombers won 15 more contested possessions to the Cats winning the count 64 to 39 in the two quarters.
At the beginning of the fourth term, a costly 50 metre infringement from Cats star midfielder Nina Morrison sent Bombers forward Daria Bannister to inside 50 where she slotted a 30m set-shot to give her side a six-point lead.
A few minutes later, Bannister was involved in the action again with a brilliant handball under pressure to 50-gamer Madison Prespakis who set up Clarke for her second goal of the game.
Clarke’s cruisy snap from less than 15m out extended the Bombers lead to two goals early in the fourth term.
Cats forward Jacqueline Parry had the chance to cut the margin to a goal with just over seven minutes left but missed her set-shot to the right.
Georgia Prespakis also gave the Cats a glimmer of hope with under just under two minutes left but her snap shot also missed to the right.
Bombers spread the goal kicking load
Toogood has dominated the goal scoring for the Bombers in the last few weeks sparking concerns the other Bomber forwards weren’t doing enough to support the key forward.
But it was former second-year player Clarke who stepped up with two goals this week to end the speculation.
Clarke also had two behinds and 16 touches featuring 15 kicks in a dominant display from the second-year midfielder forward who had returned from injury just last week.
Toogood kicked all of her side’s three goals last week in their loss to Collingwood and had two the previous week against Fremantle.
CALLS FOR SCORE REVIEW SYSTEM
Bombers key defender Georgia Clarke was pleading with the umpire that she touched a 50m long shot from milestone player Georgia Prespakis for the first goal of the game.
The umpires agreed with Clarke’s appeal after coming together to discuss the tight decision. But replays show Prepakis’ shot may have “cleared the pack” as was mentioned in the commentary box.
With no goal review system in place in AFLW, it completely ruled out the opportunity to go upstairs to review the shot. It would have been a fairy tale goal for Prespakis play in her 25th AFLW game.

CROWS BLOW SEASON WIDE OPEN
Adelaide have thrown a cat amongst the pigeons in this year’s AFLW premiership race after they sensationally upset red-hot favourites Melbourne by 10 points at Casey Fields on Saturday in what could be a grand final preview.
The visitors wrenched the ascendancy from Melbourne’s grasp in the second quarter, booting the only two goals of the stanza and restricting Melbourne’s No.1-ranked offence to their first scoreless quarter of 2023.
The rampant Crows took the momentum well into the second half and by the time they found themselves up by 25 points late in the third term, they had booted six majors in a row.
The notoriously fast-finishing Demons wouldn’t lie down, though, and got back within three points at the 14-minute mark of the final term after kicking five of the next six goals, including three from star forward Eden Zanker in the last quarter.
But just as Melbourne looked like they were going to complete a tremendous comeback, Caitlin Gould ran into a vacant Adelaide goal square to kick the winning goal with 88 seconds remaining.
DEMONS RUN ENDS
The 8.8 (56) to 7.4 (46) result snapped the Demons’ record-breaking 14-game winning streak and delivered them just their second loss from their past 19 games at their home ground.
Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his role as Major Alan Schaefer in the movie Predator, the Crows have triumphantly declared to the footy world that: “if it bleeds, we can kill it”.
With an average winning margin of seven goals, Adelaide had made plenty of big statements so far this year, but none came close to the one they made in downing the dominant Demons in what will be hard to beat for game of the year.
Melbourne have looked like careering towards back-to-back flags for most of the season, but Adelaide will now fancy their chances of an unprecedented fourth premiership more than ever before. The Crows’ victory will also buoy the spirits of other contenders, namely North Melbourne and the Brisbane Lions.
Adelaide will now finish the round on top of the ladder as the last remaining undefeated team after winning their top-two blockbuster against the Demons, which was also a meeting between two of the league’s perennial heavyweights with four flags and six grand finals between them.
Meanwhile Melbourne could tumble to fourth spot if the Kangaroos and Brisbane beat Fremantle and Collingwood respectively.
HATCHARD, MARINOFF UNSTOPPABLE
Star Adelaide duo Anne Hatchard and Ebony Marinoff were absolutely phenomenal for the winners. Hatchard finished with 32 disposals (19 contested) and two goals, while Marinoff recorded 27 touches, 13 tackles and two goals.
For Melbourne, Zanker was magnificent with five goals, 17 possessions (11 contested) and five marks (four), while Tyla Hanks chipped in with 22 disposals (18), 12 clearances and seven tackles.
The Demons could have done with star veteran Paxy Paxman, but she was unfortunately ruled out after suffering a concussion after slipping over while washing her dog at home during the week.

MAGPIES SHOCK BRISBANE
- Ronny Lerner
Collingwood have caused one of the upsets of the AFLW season after stunning premiership contenders Brisbane by five points at Springfield on Saturday night.
The Magpies headed into the game as rank outsiders, and Brisbane should have put the contest to bed by half-time.
But the hosts were horribly inaccurate all night, and had to settle for a 16-point lead at the main break after kicking a woeful 1.6 in the second term.
The Magpies took advantage, booting the next three goals to lead by a point early in the final quarter as the Lions continued to fritter away goalscoring chances.
Another pair of minor scores from Ally Anderson and Taylor Smith put Brisbane back in front by a point midway through the final term, but with 6:47 remaining, milestone lady Mikala Cann converted a set shot to put Collingwood back up by five points in her 50th game.
The Lions kept pressing but could not find a fourth goal, and were ultimately held goalless in the second half. Their last 12 shots on goal all missed, including five that failed to score.
PIES STAY IN TOUCH
The unexpected 5.3 (33) to 3.10 (28) result has given Collingwood’s finals hopes a huge boost but they will still probably need to win three of their last four matches for the best chance of finishing in the top eight.
Meanwhile, the Lions have missed a golden opportunity to tighten their grip on a top-four spot, especially after Melbourne were beaten by Adelaide earlier in the day.
DAVEY LEADS THE WAY
Bri Davey played an inspirational game after copping a pair of head knocks in the first quarter, one of which split her forehead open, and undergoing a concussion test.
She was cleared to resume playing, and finished with 19 disposals (11 contested), five tackles and a goal. Cann also shone with 19 touches (14 contested), five clearances and the match-winning goal, while Sarah Rowe recorded 21 possessions and six tackles.
Ally Anderson was the standout for Brisbane with 24 disposals (10 contested) and six clearances, but will rue blowing a clutch of straightforward goalscoring chances.
PIES’ MRO WORRIES
The thrilling win could come at a cost for Collingwood via the MRO. Selena Karlson is in hot water for a very late bump on Courtney Hodder which flattened the Brisbane forward after she took a mark in the second quarter. And Stacey Livingstone might come under scrutiny as well for a dangerous sling tackle applied to Brisbane’s Sophie Conway late in the first quarter. Hodder and Conway were able to continue playing.

SWANS KEEP SEASON ALIVE
The Laura Gardiner-inspired Swans saw off a stern challenge from Port Adelaide on Saturday, Sydney finishing over the top of the Power to score an entertaining 15-point win.
In their first visit to Alberton Oval since last season’s hammering at the hands of Port, the slick Swans turned the tables to register their third win of the season, while Lauren Arnell’s side slipped to a 1-5 record.
Port trailed by just two points at three-quarter time, but the Swans finished full of running.
With just under two minutes remaining in the high-quality affair, co-captain Chloe Molloy kicked the sealer, while Gardiner starred with a game-high 33 possessions.
NUMBER CRUNCH
Port only trailed by a solitary point at the first break, which was surprising given Sydney’s domination on the stats sheet.
The Swans more than doubled Port’s disposals (68-32) in the opening term, with the Power registering just three handballs with seven players failing to touch the ball.
Last time the Swans visited Alberton Oval they couldn’t muster a single goal and booted two behinds in total as the Power romped to a 66-point win, which was the club’s first victory in the AFLW.
The red-hot Swans matched that output in the first five minutes of their hot opening and led by 10 points when Cynthia Hamilton slotted the first goal of the contest.
But the visitors failed to make the most of their statistical domination, Gemma Houghton showing Alice Mitchell a clean pair of heels to slice the margin to a point with a minute remaining with a classy goal.
Nine of the top 11 possession winners at half-time wore red and white, with Gardiner leading the way with a game-high 17, but the Power did well to absorb Sydney’s pressure to trail by four points at the main break.
CUTHBERTSON RELIEF
Star recruit Janelle Cuthbertson sent a scare through the Port camp when she landed awkwardly on her left leg early in the match.
Cuthbertson suffered a nasty hyperextension and was helped to the bench grimacing in pain.
Indy Tahau ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament at the same ground two weeks earlier, but fears Cuthbertson had suffered the same fate were allayed when she ran back onto the field to the appreciative home fans 10 minutes later.
However, Maggie MacLachlan wasn’t as fortunate, the Power youngster slapping the turf in frustration and signaling for help from the bench after her left leg buckled under her in the third quarter.
MacLachlan suffered an ankle injury and was unable to return to the contest.
100M DASH
Lauren Arnell bemoaned a lack of discipline after last week’s loss to West Coast and the second-year coach won’t be happy with how the third quarter finished.
Back-to-back 50m penalties given away by Houghton and Hannah Ewings sent the Swans streaming into attack from a point kick-in, only for Matilda Scholz to take a relieving mark inside the last minute of the quarter.
But another lapse in discipline did prove costly early in a frantic final term, Jaide Anthony converting a free kick after she received a shove in the back from Litonya Cockatoo-Motlap.

SAINTS HOLD OFF FAST FINISHING HAWKS
St Kilda is beating down the door of the top eight after a third straight victory, but its finals bid is set to continue without Steph Chiocci after a suspected ACL injury in a nine-point win over a fast-finishing Hawthorn.
The former Collingwood skipper’s right knee buckled when she was tackled by Hawk Kaitlyn Ashmore early in the first quarter at RSEA Park, and she did not return to the field after hobbling into the rooms.
Chiocci, 34, was instrumental in the Saints’ wins over Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs, but her playing future will be uncertain if an ACL injury is confirmed.
SAINTS MORE CLINICAL
St Kilda’s star trio of Jaimee Lambert, Nat Exon and Oliva Vesely punished Hawthorn with their physicality, but the difference between the two sides was in how they made the most of their opportunities in front of goal.
Exon kicked two goals and Vesely and Lambert added one each from slick handball chains, while Hawthorn star Greta Bodey was left to rue two missed chances at the other end in the first half.
Aine McDonagh and Kristy Stratton roared to life in a three-goal final quarter, but despite cutting the margin to eight points with five minutes remaining, too much damage had already been inflicted on the wayward Hawks.
BURKE GOALS AT MOORABBIN
St Kilda diehards may have shed a tear midway through the third term when Alice Burke drifted forward for her first AFLW goal in her 28th game.
The daughter of former Saint Nathan Burke (now Western Bulldogs AFLW coach) crunched her opponent Aileen Gilroy and was rewarded with a free kick on a tight angle 30m out from goal.
The 21-year-old threaded through an impressive set shot, with her goal proving to be crucial as the scoring dried up for the Saints after three quarter time.

DOGS COACH RESPONDS AS PRESSURE RISES AT KENNEL
Under-pressure Western Bulldogs AFLW coach Nathan Burke is confident that he is the right man to turn things around for his struggling team next year.
The Dogs’ miserable season continued on Friday night after they slumped to their sixth-straight defeat against Carlton at Whitten Oval.
The 8.5 (53) to 4.10 (34) result exacerbated the Dogs’ worst ever start to a campaign, which now reads 0-6, and any glimmer of hope they had of making the finals has been extinguished. The Bulldogs had never lost more than five games in a season before this year.
Carlton’s 19-point win maintains the pressure on Burke but given he is still contracted until the end of next year, he believes he can return the Dogs to the finals in 2024, despite having only guided them to one final (a loss) in five seasons at the helm.
“I can because the stuff that’s killing us is stuff that, if I’m a half-decent coach, I should be able to fix,” Burke said post-match.
And he is adamant that he still has the backing of the club’s hierarchy.
“That’s part of being a connected club,” Burke said.
“I’m really connected with Chris Grant, the head of footy, and the board members ... and (CEO) Ameet (Bains) is in the meetings before the game and after the game so they have a really, really good understanding, and so I’m confident that as a club we’re all on the same page.”
Burke said he had no reason to think that his message was beginning to wear thin on his players either, and he wasn’t “second-guessing” himself.
“I’m confident in the relationship that I’ve got with these players in that they’re telling me the truth,” the former St Kilda champion said.
“You can sort of see it in people’s eyes. I’ve been in plenty of teams before at the Saints that the coach had lost the players or the players had lost faith ... they’re still an amazingly connected group.”
MESSAGE FALLS FLAT
Burke has been scathing of his team’s professionalism, work rate and decision-making in recent weeks, but if he intended for that to elicit a fearsome response from the Dogs, he would have been bitterly disappointed.
In fact, the message completely fell on deaf ears as Carlton kicked the first two goals after swamping the hosts with the first 12 inside 50s.
The Blues got off to a flyer, recording their best first quarter of the year (3.3) and putting the struggling Bulldogs immediately on the back foot.
Carlton’s pressure was intense straight off the bat, and it not only ensured the ball lived in their forward half in the opening term but it also restricted the Dogs to a solitary forward entry by quarter-time.
The Bulldogs were also undone by unimaginative and predictable ball use early, and although their intensity lifted in the second quarter, Carlton’s enormous inside-50 advantage, which exploded to 24-6 at one stage, helped them open up a commanding 21-point lead late in the first half.
CARLTON FINALS BOUND?
By the time Mia Austin kicked the Blues’ fourth goal in a row, they were out to a game-busting 30-point lead late in the third quarter.
Carlton have moved to fifth on the ladder heading into the weekend, and their finals aspirations have received a massive boost in coach Mathew Buck’s first year in charge. To finish in the top eight, they will probably only have to win two of their last four matches.
MCKAY STARS AGAIN
Abbie McKay continued her eye-catching form for the Blues, finishing with 23 disposals and goal, and she was well supported by Keeley Sherar who had a night out with 28 touches (10 contested) and eight tackles.
Meanwhile, Carlton’s ruck duo of Jess Good (one goal) and Breann Moody were extremely influential, combining for 36 disposals (25 contested), 33 hitouts and eight clearances to overwhelm the Bulldogs’ Alice Edmonds.
Elisabeth Georgostathis was outstanding for the Dogs with 29 possessions (12 contested), and superstar Ellie Blackburn was at her metronomic best, collecting 27 disposals.
Carlton coach Mathew Buck was cautiously optimistic that both Vaomua Laloifi (knee) and McKay (ankle) would be fine to face Collingwood next week after both players hurt themselves, but played out the match.
And Buck was also hopeful about captain Kerryn Peterson’s availability for the Magpies after she sat out Friday night’s match due to a knee injury.
