Carlton gets the edge over Adelaide in AFLW grand final rematch, winning by eight points at Richmond Oval

ABC  

Carlton has gained a measure of revenge for last year's AFLW grand final loss to Adelaide, overcoming the Crows by eight points at Richmond Oval. Adelaide v Carlton AFLW: Adel: 4.4 Goals: R Metcalfe, E Jones, A Considine, A Hatchard Carl 5.6 Goals: T Harris 2, N Stevens, M Prespakis, D Vescio Leading possessions: Adel - A Hatchard 27, E Marinoff 20, E Phillips 13 Carl - M Prespakis 20, C Wilson 19, G Egan 18, N Plane 18 That game was the last appearance by Crows' star Erin Phillips, who ruptured her ACL in the third quarter of the decider. Harris played a typically physical game, using her body to pressure Crows players with the ball, and she was a key part of the Blues' game plan. The Maddy Prespakis Era has arrived and that's great news for AFLW Carlton's 19-year-old midfield gun is quickly becoming one of AFLW's very best players, but her rise represents something much bigger for the league.
