ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø utility Terri-Anne Egan said that the team is proud of its efforts in Adelaide.  

“We worked on building on each game and we were pleased with of our performances, especially in the Semi-Final against Griffith,” Egan said.

“For that game we got around each other and we had a loud and dominant presence on the field and sideline which set the tone and standard of that game.

“We were obviously a bit disappointed in the final against Sydney, and there are a few things that we will take away and work really hard on to come back stronger for the next round.”
