1: Paige continues her elite defence
Paige Trudgeon was stellar down back at home, continuously asking questions of the Lions’ attack. The key defender continues to put in huge shifts for the team, again playing 100 per cent game-time! She continuously toiled hard and finished the day with 16 disposals, nine intercepts, and four tackles.
2: Show-stopper Smith
Tyanna Smith keeps producing quality performances for the Saints with another great showing at RSEA Park. Smith recorded 23 disposals, six clearances, and four tackles, including two majors. The two-time St Kilda Best & Fairest runner-up has kicked at least one goal in each of her last three appearances, and is becoming a powerful midfielder who has a desire and capacity to charge up the ground and assist the forwards.
3: Patrikios continues to grow
Georgia Patrikios put in another huge shift against a quality Lions outfit on home soil. The 2021 All-Australian led all comers on the ground with 30 possessions (also equal career-high), five marks, four tackles, and three clearances. At just 25, Patrikios keeps mounting together big performances for the red, white, and black.
4: Lively Lambert
Jaimee Lambert maintains her consistent footy in season 2026, crafting together another great outing at home. The dual All-Australian amassed 22 disposals, five marks, four tackles, and four clearances for the afternoon, also going at over 80 per cent disposal efficiency.
5: A goal for Ruck Rene?!
St Kilda’s #19 Rene Caris played her 36th AFLW game and produced a moment of brilliance! She kicked her first goal since Round 1, 2024 against the Gold Coast Suns, and also put together a nice game too. Caris registered eight disposals, 11 hitouts, and two score involvements along with her major!
