Good wins for North Melbourne and Essendon at the weekend.

Richmond unlucky. Again.

Cats v Pies next week. Should be a cracker.

Other than the Kangas, I picked all the away sides. Ended up getting 7 out of 8.

whats the coont on about? must be reading the wrong scoresheet.

Ellyse Perry took three wickets and held her nerve in a tense last over as Australia beat New Zealand by just three runs in a thrilling women's World Twenty20 final.

With the White Ferns needing 14 off the last over, Perry - backed up by fine fielding - didn't give up a boundary and the pace bowler finished with impressive figures of 3-18 runs from her maximum four overs.

Victory came just hours after Australia's men's team had lost in the corresponding final to arch-rivals England.

The result was tough on Sophie Devine, whose 38 not out off 35 balls rescued New Zealand from a top order collapse to give them a shot at victory just a year after they had lost in the final to England at Lord's.

New Zealand, chasing a modest 107 for victory after holding their rivals to 8-106, slumped to 4-29 inside eight overs.

White Ferns skipper Aimee Watkins fell first, caught at short midwicket off pace bowler Clea Smith.

Then Sara McGlashan, who made 84 in New Zealand's semi-final win against the West Indies, was run out for just one after a dreadful mix-up with Suzie Bates.

Bates herself was out for 18, trying to hit across the line when facing pace bowler Perry and lobbing a catch to mid-off.

Amy Sattherthwaite then paid the price for playing back to a full Perry delivery that kept a touch low, clean bowled for four.

Rachel Priest was then nearly stumped by opposing wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy, the niece of former Aussie gloveman Ian Healy, with third umpire Asad Rauf causing confusion by pressing the wrong button.

Priest's reprieve was shortlived, however, as she holed out for five off left-arm spinner Shelley Nitschke to leave New Zealand in dire straits at 5-36 off 11 overs.

However, Devine and Nicola Browne held firm and, with three overs left, New Zealand needed 33 to win.

But when Perry had Browne caught behind cutting for 20, New Zealand were 6-77.

Devine struck Rene Farrell for four and six off the last two balls of the 19th over and that left New Zealand with 14 to win, off the final over from Perry.

A single got Devine back on strike and she then took several twos to leave the target down to seven off the last two balls.

Another two left the Kiwis needing five off the last ball but they could only manage a single.
