A look at round six of the AFLW season where Brisbane's Ally Anderson reached a milestone and Richmond's Emelia Yassir was the match winner against Gold Coast.

THE MOMENT: Richmond teenager Emelia Yassir kicked her side's match-winning goal against Gold Coast with less than two minutes left on the clock at Punt Road Oval on Saturday night, when she took advantage from a teammate's free kick and calmly slotted a neat goal on the run under pressure.

THEY SAID IT: "I don't think we've ever had this kind of hype and excitement before." - Yassir was buzzing after the Tigers posted a fourth straight win for the first time in their AFLW history. It's the first time Richmond have even won four games in a season.

PLAYER OF THE ROUND: Adelaide skipper Chelsea Randall won the inaugural AFLW Showdown medal with 27 disposals, seven clearances and three goals in the 63-3 thumping of Port Adelaide.

STAT: The Brisbane Lion's Ally Anderson had a game-high 23 possessions in the 44-point win over Essendon. That takes her to 1000 possessions for her career. She's the sixth woman and first Indigenous woman to reach the milestone.

TRIBUNAL WATCH: Kodi Jacques was reported on the spot over a front-on bump on the Suns' Lauren Ahrens, who fumbled trying to gather a loose ball and was clumsily cannoned into by the Tiger, who caught her opponent high.

INJURIES: M Shevlin (Rich, ankle), J Hosking (Rich, head knock), J Cuthbertson (Frem, leg), K Hore (Melb, finger), M Dowrick (Adel, knee), L Goss (Carl, shoulder), D Guttridge (SK, foot)

WHAT'S NEXT: St Kilda and Carlton kick off round seven on Friday night in a must-win clash for both sides, while North Melbourne will be aiming to topple ladder leaders Brisbane at Arden Street on Saturday. Third-placed Melbourne will be keen to continue their hot form when they take on the seventh-placed Western Bulldogs. Fourth-placed Collingwood have the chance to boost their percentage when they host GWS in the last game of the round on Sunday.
