The key moments from a big weekend of footy By Hannah Kennelly There were plenty of big moments across round four. Here are some you might have missed – or that you might want to see again.
Magic Molloy slots a goal of the year contender When the AFLW awards committee gathers near the end of the season to select the league’s goal of the year, Chloe Molloy will be a worthy contender.
The ball was kicked deep into the Swans’ forward pocket and was threatening to run out of bounds near the point post, where Molloy bumped an opponent out of the contest.

And then there were two After round three, four teams remained winless on the bottom of the ladder. Gold Coast’s win over GWS helped them off the bottom and consigned the Giants to another round without a win.
