Cora Staunton scored another brilliant goal for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in their round six win over the Western Bulldogs on Saturday.
Staunton has picked up Australian Rules Football exceptionally well since moving to Sydney last year and she added to her already impressive collection of goals with another superb effort against the Bulldogs.
Staunton fielded a pass inside the forward 50, powered away from two defenders and sidestepped another to finish a brilliant individual goal.

The Giants pulled off a comprehensive 18-point win to give the Bulldogs just their second defeat of the season as they moved into second place on the table.
Staunton said before the game that it was still taking time for her to adjust to the sport but that the environment at the club has made that process easier.
“I need to do extra sessions to make myself better. Instead of me doing the sessions alone, I have a few of the girls now join me on those days,” she told AFL.com.au.
“I’m part of a really strong club (Mayo) at home that is like one big family. I never thought I’d get that feeling anywhere else. But walking into the Giants, I get that feeling.”
