In this episode, Liam recaps Box Hill's Round 15 defeat to Port Melbourne in the 2026 VFLW season. He breaks down the performances of AFLW players Niamh Martin and Lavinia Cox, as well as analysing…
She started pretty well, working as a high half forward and getting a long way up the ground to involve herself in the game, often looking to receive the ball and then dish off by hand to a teammate running past.
Between the 10-minute mark of the first quarter, however, and about the five-minute mark of the last quarter, she was very quiet.
B- b- often going long stretches of time without the ball.
She listed late in the game as getting a long way up the ground, even moved to half back late in the game as we, as we got a little desperate, where ath- her athleticism was something we tried to use to get us moving forward as we chased three goals in the last 10 minutes.
She had 10 disposals, of which six were kicks going at 50% efficiency.
She laid four tackles, had three contested possessions, three inside 50s, two marks, and two intercepts.
The other player from the AFLW side who played was Lavinia Cox, and I thought she was pretty impressive, especially in the first quarter, which, where I thought she was frankly our best player.
Not quite the same overlap running as last week, but she still certainly wasn't afraid to press up the ground and get involved on the attack as well.
The thing which jumped out to me, however, this week though, was her marking.
She judged the ball really well in flight, attacked it to take it at pace, and got up and took several very good marks.
Her kicking also jumped out, and it's clearly a s- it's been a clearly been a significant focus for her over the pre-season and showing significant improvement which looks genuine and sustainable.
She had 15 disposals, of which 11 were kicks, going at 60% efficiency.
She took six marks, had four intercept possessions.
When they reconcile these numbers later in the week, I would not be surprised if that number is higher.
Uh, three contested possessions, two inside 50s, two tackles, and a clearance.
