Man oh man the dreaded HS protocols have taken a toll.

Swinburne Centre… sounds yuck.

Good luck Dees, hope we can get two on the Trott!

Tyranny of distance for me again this week. And no FTA. So, looking forward to reports, from those of you in another "very vocal Melbourne crowd".

Not on FTA.. crazy.

Goldrick, Mcnamara and Colvin are good ins but the loss of Gay and Scott is a worry.

[Freddy Fuschia 741]

Yes. It would seem that “health and safety protocols” will be a thing for the AFLW season and possibly going into the AFL season unless things with Omnicron can stabilize quickly. This could make 2022 a bit of a crap shoot.

And with its introduction it is going to cover all manner of sins that in the past were said to be....knee flu, soreness, groin, or just plain dropped....

Are we expecting a big win tonight or was Richmond's dominant win last week too good to ignore, and do our outs hurt us?

[BDA 22,751]

Tiges bringing the heat early

The Ashes is on ch. 7, fair enough. But they’ve got three other channels in 72, 73 and 76 on which to televise AFLW. I guess some people can’t go a night without Alaskan ice road trucking gold fever picking swamp junkyard overhauling oil digging storage wars and Down East Dickering 🙄 

[BDA 22,751]

Goal of the year Alyssa Bannon

[Whispering_Jack 30,054]

Dees going bang, bang, bang.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

McNamara is best on so far. Exceptional half.

[Deeoldfart 8,027]

Outstanding quarter Dees.  Keep it up!

[BDA 22,751]

Shaky start but we found our rhythm in that quarter and were excellent. In control in the middle and shooting accurately. Our 2 youngsters McNamara and Bannon showing their class. Hore very good. Harris physicality monstering the Tiges defence

We're well on top and should win handily from here

[Chook 15,013]

McNamara is looking like a blonde Ed Langdon striding up and down the wing in peak physical shape and occasionally shanking it but also laying great tackles and providing a defensive and offensive number both ways.

i suppose a score would be out of the question 

[Demonstone 22,506]

Demons leading 48 to 25 at 3/4 time.  It's live on afl.com.au Barney.

[dees189227 12,391]

How good is it having harris who just makes her physical presence felt. Her tackling has been good.

Good having the experienced players in there Daisy and Paxman who have kicked goals when needed. 

We have been great after 1/4 time

cheers  caught the last few mins , go dees :)

Harris was great. Physical all game, got a couple too.

Paxy, really bounced back after a quiet week.

Was pleasantly surprised with West. Thought she did some good things. Also thought Goldy played well, given she missed last week. I know we were low on numbers but can't see Magee developing enough to become a regular player. Just doesn't have the footy IQ.

Harris might kill someone one week. Absolutely amazing to watch.

[WERRIDEE 5,477]

Really good game from the girls. All played pretty well. West was good and Caris was very good early. Tough at selection this week.

[dees189227 12,391]

Gee when they mentioned about lightning and if it happens the teams going off I thought oh no not again. 

But good win and bring on the saints next week.
