Molloy lifts Swans past Bulldogs to semi-final
Sydney beat Western Bulldogs by 29 points with Chloe Molloy moving to defence and recording 12 intercepts.
The Swans won 46-17 in a wet and windy elimination final at Henson Park on Sunday. Molloy is the league's leading goalkicker but played an unexpected time in defence.
Molloy became the key player with one goal, 12 intercepts and 14 contested possessions. Tanya Kennedy was just as important, laying 17 tackles to shut down Bulldogs co-captain Isabelle Pritchard.
Pritchard had just 14 disposals after returning from injury. Sydney's next opponent is Geelong in an away semi-final.
