Midfield bull Rosie Dillon has been awarded the Round 4 Dare Sainter of the Round after her fierce performance on Sunday afternoon. 

Against the undefeated Dockers, the 23-year-old racked up a team-high 18 disposals and seven tackles at RSEA Park.

Despite the heart-wrenching loss to an experienced Fremantle outfit, Dillon was proud of the Saints’ performance.
