  "account": "In an elimination final at wet and windy Henson Park, AFLW champions Sydney Swans secured a 29-point victory over Western Bulldogs. League-leading goalkicker Chloe Molloy made a surprise appearance as a defender, playing a pivotal role in Sydney's 46-17 triumph. Molloy contributed one goal, 12 intercepts, and 14 contested possessions. Bulldogs co-captain Isabelle Pritchard, back from a knee injury, was limited to 14 disposals and three clearances as Tanya Kennedy effectively marked her. Ellie Blackburn, also returning to action, led the Bulldogs with 29 touches and a goal. Sydney captain Lucy McEvoy struck early, scoring the opening goal with a long bomb after a strong breeze. Despite the Bulldogs scoring only one point in the first quarter, they managed to contain Sydney to just four unanswered goals in the second quarter. After torrential rain in the third quarter, the Swans maintained their 25-point lead, winning the match in front of 4,325 passionate supporters.",
