IF KICKING the match winning goal doesn’t give you some notoriety, then perhaps bolting from a live TV interview will.

South Australian forward Ebony Marinoff was midway through a cross on the interchange bench with Fox Footy reporter Neroli Meadows, when she was instructed to get back on the ground.

Mid-sentence, she bolted, much to the amusement of Meadows, who quipped: “And she’s off, that’s how intense it is here in the inner sanctum.”

With South Australia trailing at three-quarter time, it was Marinoff who became the match winner, kicking the sealer to get her team over the line by two points against NSW/ACT at the Adelaide Oval.

Round 18

There to witness her heroics was Adelaide star Eddie Betts, with the goal sneak leading the applause from the boundary line.

While the AFL is yet to determine which teams will receive women’s licenses, the Adelaide Crows are in the box seat for one, with cross-town rivals Port Adelaide opting out of the tendering process.

Indeed, it’s possible that Marinoff - who finished the match with 21 disposals - could one day be teammates with Betts at the Crows.

A proud South Australian, she pleaded her case for a spot in the inaugural women’s league.

“It’s amazing, I can’t believe that just happened, wow,” Marinoff told Fox Footy after the thrilling win.

“We have so much pride and we don’t know what will happen next year, whether we’ll get to wear this guernsey again. It shows how much pride and unity we have as a team.

“We’ve been working since February and we’ve done it, we’ve showed it, and done South Australia proud.”
