The Irish takeover is well and truly underway in the AFL Women's.
It's been a disappointing year for Collingwood but one huge positive has been the form of Sarah Rowe. Speaking to Balls.ie, Cross-Coders founder Jason Hill explained: "Sarah's been one of the shining stars in an underperforming team."
Today Collingwood went down to North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, but it wasn't for lack of trying from the Mayo star who delivered one huge tackle and a goal during an impressive performance.

Rowe added her second goal of the year in the second quarter.
In the second game at the Marvel Stadium, Western Bulldogs went down by one-point against Melbourne FC. Tipperary's Aisling McCarthy was amongst the goals yet again.
Another big game from @aish_mac . The @TippLadiesFB & @Irish_Banshees star has definitely figured out where the big posts are with another cracking goal for @BulldogsW against @melbournefc this morning pic.twitter.com/kY1Db52M3U
