Clicked on this morning hoping to find that we had spanked Collingwood but not a single post. So much for the women’s league attracting a whole new group of passionate supporters? Isn’t there a proud parent out there??

Oh horrors of horrors. We're doomed for the season now. Losing in the last minute. The players don't seem to care.

</sarcasm>

Apparently (according to a tweet I saw) Pearce, Paxman and Hickey were all rested for the last quarter; no idea if Collingwood did the same with their key players.

The fact that the coaching staff apparently couldn't see the scoreboard and weren't bothered by that probably indicates the worth of judging much by this game. Everyone had a run, we hit the scoreboard fairly well before resting the A-team (who I'd rate above theirs anyway). Bring on Round 1!

Also, no major injuries that I've heard of.

Just our usual  approach then ! 

Good to know that we were resting players in last quarter. Another good opportunity to identify weaknesses (and strengths) in either structure or execution. Stinear & co. would expect the game plan to be followed irrespective of the players on field.

Not too worried about last kick of game, though always better to win.
