She fumbles in key moments and has the weakest handball in the league. Would like to see her disposal efficiency.

Yes, Lin could improve too but it’s her first season. Sarah’s been with us for 3 (4?) years.

So, the 'pies finished with a percentage of 190.5, behind Adelaide (208.4) and Brisbane (195).

At the end of the home and away, Collingwood had the lowest points against (190) but just the 7th-highest points for (362). Obviously, the task for next season is to improve the scoring dramatically (irrespective of what happens in the finals).

Every since Chloe Molloy and Bree Davie were lauded on AFL360 a few weeks back, neither of them have performed to their early season standard.

Adelaide the highest scoring team in the comp.

Pies defence has been good all season but the loss of 2 defenders - Jordy Allen and Lauren Butler - was always going to be a factor against the top teams.

Aish Sheridan and Sophie Alexander have improved this season but are currently not consistent enough as forwards. Pies seem to rely on some Chloe Molloy magic to get back into games. Slow stars against the Lions and Crows have been costly.
