For the Thunder, defenders Sydney Thorogood and Connie Rule were named best.

In the closest match in A Grade in round seven, Ararat scored a 46-43 win over Nhill.

Jess Taylor, playing at wing attack and centre, was crucial for the Rats, while fellow midcourter Kiarna Taylor also played an important role as the home side led by just one goal at the main break before edging out to a three-goal margin, which they were able to hold to finish off the game.

For Stawell, the ever-consistent duo of Lisa Considine, who played most of the match in wing defence, and co-coach Jemma Clarkson, who started at her usual wing attack position before moving to goal attack where she shot 14 goals, were named best.

Dimboola’s blistering 17-8 start provided an ideal first quarter for the Roos against Minyip-Murtoa on Saturday.
