Laurie has a day out as Dockers clinch three in a row
Denmark’s Parris Laurie has played her best game yet in the AFLW for Fremantle, starring in the ruck as her side made it three straight wins to start the 2019 season on Saturday at Fremantle Oval.
Laurie has led the Dockers ruck in her debut season and was highly influential for her side as they ran out comfortable winners over Collingwood in round 3.
The 24-year-old was the second highest disposal winner for the Dockers, collecting 17 in total and having 11 hit-outs as her side were convincing 33-point winners.
Laurie is averaging 10 disposals a game in a bright start to her AFLW career and it has mirrored the Dockers’ winning start to the season as they sit second by percentage in the conference A standings.
Mt Barker product Kirby Bentley had four touches, one mark and two tackles for Carlton as they won their first game of the season on Saturday.
The Blues defeated Greater Western Sydney by 29 points with veteran Bentley playing her third game for the club.
Pingrup’s Belinda Smith laid three tackles and gathered four possessions for the Western Bulldogs in their 31-point loss to North Melbourne on Friday night in Launceston.
