  • Yartapuulti’s 108 points set a new AFLW high, surpassing Melbourne’s 107 from 2022, as the Power became the sixth team to top 100.
  • Matilda Scholz and Gemma Houghton kicked four goals each, with Scholz adding 22 disposals, 16 hitouts and 14 score involvements.
  • Gold Coast lost Claudia Whitfort pre-game with a calf issue, then Meara Girvan was concussed and Charlotte Wilson exited with a knee problem, while Charlie Rowbottom played on with a strapped shoulder.
