It was a tough loss for the Jets last weekend, but this Sunday they will be looking forward to taking on the Murray Bushrangers in their hometown. The Bushrangers are also coming off a loss from the previous round, only they were completely obliterated by the Northern Knights by 70 points. This gives Western girls a sniff as they head to JC Lowe Oval.

Possible key match-ups
Elisabeth Georgostathis vs Millie Brown
Brown is a former best and fairest winner for the Murray Bushrangers and arguably their midfielder. Last week she was absent but this week she will pick up the slack. Georgostathis had a great match last week despite the loss. She continues to prove her value as captain and as a true workhorse in the Jets midfield. A head-to-head battle between these two could ensure an entertaining battle.
Isabelle Pritchard vs Olivia Barber
Last year Barber kicked seven goals from four games. The tall timber was held goalless last week and will be itching to hit the scoreboard early in her own backyard. Pritchard was sturdy in defense against Calder even when the Jets were overrun by the Cannons in the third term. Pritchard looks the likely candidate to take on the 184cm Bushranger.
Kate Adams vs Isabella Grant
Last week Grant run her guts out for the Jets, her ability to burst through congestion and kick goals makes her a very dangerous player for Western. Adams might be her matchup for this Sunday as she can transition from midfield to defense like it's second nature. Grant is the opposite, she only knows how to push forward which gives her the edge.
