Adelaide Crows’ ruck Caitlin Gould has claimed this week’s AFLW MVP of the Week, proudly presented by Snaffle.
In what was some of the wildest weather we’ve seen this season, a battle of the birds saw the Crows claim a spot in the preliminary finals.
After a thirty-minute delay to the start of the match, Caitlin Gould won the opening clearance and set up the Crows’ first goal – just 20 seconds into the game. The momentum only built from there, with Gould collecting 28 hitouts across all four quarters.
Despite thunderstorms delaying the match again at quarter-time, the Crows star finished with 14 disposals, seven clearances, and six tackles, putting together a complete performance across the contest.
The other nominees for Finals Week Two were Ash Riddell (North Melbourne) and Jasmine Garner (North Melbourne).
