24 disposals. 14 tackles. Two marks. And a goal.
But more importantly, a whopping 134 points for 🍐 Abbey Dowrick!
The new leader of the Charlie Rowbottom Medal blitzed the second highest score of the season – imagine if you put her on the bench like a certain writer did…
Rookies of the round
The votes for the Charlie Rowbottom Medal for best rookie of the season go to:
5. 🍐 Abbey Dowrick (MID) 134
4. 🍐 Hannah Ewings (FWD) 98
3. 🦉 Jasmine Fleming (MID) 81
3. 🦢 Montana Ham (MID) 81
3. ⚓️ Megan Kauffman (FWD) 81
Leaderboard: 🍐 Dowrick (10), 🍐 Ewings (9), 🐯 Sheerin (8), 🦢 Eastman (5), 🍐 McGrath (4), 🦉 Smith (4), 🦢 Ham (4).
Cash is queen
The biggest price rises by rookies this round were:
🍐 Abbey Dowrick (MID) $17,100
🍐 Hannah Ewings (FWD) $13,200
✈️ Stephanie Wales (RUCK) $11,600
🔵 Keeley Skepper (MID) $11,300
⚓️ Megan Kauffman (FWD) $10,500
Trade targets
🦢 Montana Ham | MID, $65,600, 30%
It’s strange to put Ham as a trade target considering she was a hyped pick 1 and owned by a majority of coaches in Round 1.
But she returned from her knee injury with a bang, pumping out an 81 with 83% CBAs to back up her 67 on debut.
It’s a lot to pay for a rookie but Ham’s price is set to rocket if she can keep this up.
🐶 Keely Coyne | MID, $34,400, 3%
Coyne scored 57 in her debut and is a handy downgrade target for one of your three trades this round.
She racked up an impressive six tackles and had a strong 3:1 kick:handball ratio.
Side note
🍐 Abbey Dowrick’s 134 was so massive that half of her score (67) would’ve polled votes in the first three rounds!
And spare a thought for 🟠 Jodie Hicks, whose 75 missed out on votes this week but would’ve polled four votes in Round 1 and 2, and five votes in Round 3.

Is Ewings too late to get in? Feel like she’s a top 5 FWD at this rate

Nope not too late. She is a gun. Do you know how to trade a forward utility to a midfield utility without it saying player category limit?

You just trade the player you want as normal and then to bring any player into the utility position, there is a utility tab when picking your player. Instead of going into the midfield tab
