THEY SAID IT: "We're not fit enough. I said that to the girls in there. We're not going to make excuses over that because I think there are probably things outside of injuries, within our control, that would make us fitter. Just understanding the level of professionalism required now, skipping an ice bath or not eating properly, that doesn't cut it anymore." - Western Bulldogs coach Nathan Burke pulled no punches after a loss to St Kilda all but ended his side's finals hopes.
PLAYER OF THE ROUND: Melbourne captain Kate Hore flaunted her skill with a haul of four goals from 20 disposals in her side's thumping 49-point win over Geelong. It shot the Demons' first-year captain to the top of the league's goal-kicking list with 14 in five games. Hore has finished with at least one goal in every Melbourne game this season and has kicked multiples in each of her past four outings.
