Bulldogs defender Izzy Huntington earned herself eight coaches’ votes this week, after impressing in Saturday’s 21-point loss to Carlton.
Returning from concussion symptoms the week prior, Huntington recorded 15 disposals, four tackles and a game-high seven marks in the annual Pride Game.
She was also selected in the backline in AFL Media’s Round 3 Team of the Week.
Skipper Ellie Blackburn was another Bulldog recognised for her efforts, polling three coaches’ votes for her 20 disposals and four tackles.
