The 2018 TSLW team of the year member shared best-on-ground honours with fellow Burnie recruits Libby and Chloe Haines, the latter kicking four goals in an impressive display up forward.

The Magpies kicked eight unanswered goals in the first half to skip out to a 51-point lead before the Bombers stepped up a notch after half time.
Two late goals to skipper Jodie Clifford and forward Emily McKinnell were welcome consolations in a 12.12 (84) to 2.4 (16) defeat.
Brieanna Barwick and Jasmine Tate Turvey shone for the Mapgies, while Clifford and Sophie and Carly Farrow led the way for North Launceston.
In the other game, Clarence cruised to a 95-point win over newcomer Lauderdale.
