Dubbo half-forward Brooke Garland will never forget her first AFLW season — a dramatic last second win over the Giants in Bathurst, conveyed via the phone!

Brooke went down heavily in a tackle that shattered her tibia and fibia bones. It was clear from the second she hit the turf, she was in trouble as teammates called for the stretcher. Half an hour later, she was on the way to hospital and then to Royal North Shore where she remains awaiting surgery.

“Broken bones and a drought breaking win” are the two things that will remain with Brooke forever.

Unfortunately, the injury will keep her out of the upcoming Equimillion Equestrian competition.

Brooke was one of a select band chosen to ride in the richest competition in Sydney next month.

She is a talented all-round rider but sadly will not be breaking any records at the Olympic Course!

In much better news, Molly Mayall was the toast of the club after her cool match-winning kick in the final minute. There was none happier than mum, Melissa.

“So very proud of these gorgeous girls; they played with all their might and came out on top.

“A big shout out to my amazing daughter, Molly who kicked the winning goal; you girls are dead-set legends!”

Emily Warner, who drives from the Baradine side of Coonamble each week to train and play, once again demonstrated her class and was named Player of the Grand Final.
