There were some great signs by the Jets last week against the Knights regardless of the score margin. This Saturday they will face the Eastern Ranges who are in great form and currently sit 5th on the ladder. For Western to topple the Ranges they must bring the same intensity from last week and they also must take their opportunities in front of goal.

Possible key matchups
Isabelle Pritchard vs Laura McClelland
McClelland is Eastern's power forward and Pritchard is one of few defenders that can match her height. McClelland has booted three majors for the season so far, last year she kicked 11 goals for the season. The tall timber will prove a real fight for Pritchard but if she can hold the forward to a goal, then Pritchard has done her well.
Tarni Brown vs Elisabeth Georgostathis
Brown is the ball magnet in the center of the ground for the Ranges averaging 19.3 disposals a match. However, Georgostathis is ranked fifth in the competition for disposals averaging 19.7 a game. A slight advantage to Georgostathis could provide a real game changer for the Jets but Brown will be a tough obstacle to pass.
Taylah Kolevski vs Jess Grace
Last week Kolevski competed against a much taller ruck and did quite well. This Saturday she will ruck against a girl that is similar height to herself. The only catch is Grace is currently ranked third in hit-outs for the NAB league. This will test Kolevski's skill but she has been competing all season against challenges like this.
