So here's McNaughton in a pocket of space. And we'll go with a snap. Oh, Sullivan with the protection. Just shepherded it through. And McNaughton's got a knack for kicking those dogs to goal. Kaufman. And it's going to be a 50-meter penalty. So a chance here in a 50th game to kick the goal. I think Nanskorm was the one that was called to stand because she was the closest. I wanted to live for her today in her milestone match. The celebration will be huge.

Kicks a big goal late as Friar Search for their first win at their new home venue. With Proust this time, the Sockers are forward. Now trying to use her speed to get away and gain territory and send it in again to Zankar. With the last kick of the game.

From long range, Eden Zankar cannot kick the goal.

They were challenged. It was a tough afternoon at the footy. The Dockers too strong for the Bombers who stay winless.

Mark Duffield (2:03)

Welcome back to the SENWA studio out here at Optus Stadium. Wednesday morning in Perth, going to be a hot one.

Climbing up to 29 to 30 degrees. The Fremantle Dockers AFLW team won their second match in as many games at the weekend. A hard fought contest against Essendon down there at the Coburn Arc. We've got a big one coming up this weekend against the Western Bulldogs as well. Their coach, Lisa Webb, joins us on the show now. Lisa, welcome.

Lisa Webb (2:34)

Thanks for having me.

Mark Duffield (2:35)

So it was a hard fought win. You had to do it a bit differently, didn't you? Given the absence of some key personnel.

Lisa Webb (2:43)

Yeah, definitely a different look. I think I said post-match, as long as I've coached, we've never actually rocked without Mims. So that was obviously unique in that experience. But yeah, a lot of work's been going in behind the scenes, and there's a lot of girls pushing for selection. And Tanesha came in and stepped into a really important role for us. And there's a few others that have been banging down the door. So proud of that. And then obviously working through Emma's injury, I think was in the first three minutes of the game. So yeah, shout out to obviously the team on being able to cover that. But I thought Holly Egan especially did a great job.

Mark Duffield (3:18)

So let's talk about Mim first. Late withdrawal from the team, how is her shoulder and is she likely to play this weekend?

Lisa Webb (3:26)

Yeah, we're definitely planning on her playing this week. She's an important one for us, as I said before.

There's a great ruck battle. Alice Edmonds is a terrific ruck as well, and they match up normally really well against each other. So that'll be an important one for us. And I'm sure she will get up. But if she doesn't, we do have others. I thought Bella and Eden did a really good job as well of helping share the load with Tanisha. So one in which we'll work through after Thursday's training.

Mark Duffield (3:52)

And just Tanisha Kikwak obviously was your main ruck in MIMS absence. Tell us your thoughts on her performance given she was up against a pretty accomplished ruck herself in Steff Wales.

Lisa Webb (4:05)

Yeah, exactly. We've been working with her for a while now.

She's a good young kid, and she just continues to go from strength to strength. She's still learning the game as well, but has got incredible physicality and strength. When she puts it to good use, the girls always have this laugh that they just can't stop her. So yeah, I thought she did a really good job and set the momentum for us nice and early against Wales who you can't underestimate. She is one very, very good ruck, and I thought she held her own in there as well. So we kind of did that with a couple of our forwards as well. And yeah, we needed to grind her down a bit because she is so important to them.
