what’s going on with Tayla?!

 Late change. It was gonna be Campbell out.

Apparently Tayla hurt her hammy at training.

Unfortunately I won't see the game - I'm still blinded by the sunset at Frankston on Friday night.

Shame about Tayla. We all know what happened last time she missed!

Still, we've never been in a better position to try to cover her.

[DubDee 20,671]

Harris hasn’t looked her best so maybe good to have a spell. 

needs to get the anger back

[Sideshow Bob 2,156]

Just read hamstring for Tay Tay on one of those news sites. Picked up at training this week - anyone know anything - do we need to freak out

That was shocking on TV to try and watch. Not a good time to schedule a game. And top it off the camera crew must have been the work experience kids that day, so often they were no where near where the ball was when filming the game.  it was off to the right or left of the frame out of sight so often.

She was fine at training on Tuesday till right at the end when she lay on the ground and one of the trainers started working on her leg, giving it a bit of a stretch and test.  Hopefully it's not too bad...... 🤞

Losing Tayla is bad news, hopefully it will be just the one week, we definitely want her back for the next game against Adelaide.

One concern I have for the Geelong game is that it is our third short week (six day break) in a row.  The men often say two short weeks is a problem.  It's not a question of fitness and running out of steam, but compounded short recovery time takes the edge off - you aren't as sharp, reflexes a bit slower, etc.

Geelong only have 5 days between games, so hopefully it is not a huge issue.

Game day! Looking forward to this one. Great way to kick off the long weekend.

The boys struggle in Mordor but I back the girls to get it done this evening. Geelong have improved as their results show but we’re a step up in class for them. They’ll challenge early but our quality will tell in the finish.

dees by 25 points.

[Palace Dees 2,004]

If you are looking for the match on Fox Footy 504, it's not there. Nor is it on 503.  As I was hyperventilating,  I spotted it on 505!

A rare occurrence, but much happier now. This men's GF build up is so disruptive to us true believers. 😈

For those of us that can't make it.

As I understand it history has tended to show, at least with the men, that a single five day break is not usually a problem, but consecutive six day breaks can be.  Hopefully, though, all will be well.......

Im very pleased for you, Viper. You're in for a treat, even if the result doesn't go our way (wash my mouth out!) Do some barracking for me, then, you and the offspring, while I'm laid up here on the other side of the planet.

Why would you say even if the result doesn't go our way?  The treat  is our magnificent form and if we get beaten the treat most likely won't be a treat!!

Cos I like washing my mouth out 😄

Part of the same character trait that kept me being a Dees supporter for those 57 years!

[WalkingCivilWar 31,916]

Beautiful day in Geelong. Pumped for tonight!!!! GO DEES! ❤️💙

Bloody handy highlight reel from Maddi Gay. Also her birthday today!

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 3,835]

Betting $1.14 to $5.50!

Crikey! Really? (not that I should be letting this tawdry aspect of modern sport into my appreciation of the still relatively pure experience of women's football and our glorious team in it...)

Always loved the way Maddi Gay goes about her footy. She's as hard as a cat's head 

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 3,835]

Home strip. Nice!

[BDA 20,075]

The girls are sticking their tackles early.

[BDA 20,075]

second to the ball so far. cats bringing it early. girls need to left

[DeeSpencer 23,134]

Goldy and lack of forward pressure both frustrating me so far. Need to settle down and win some contests 

[DeeSpencer 23,134]

Commentators wouldn’t recognise a push in the back if they copped one themselves 

[BDA 20,075]

who is the female commentator cheer leading for the cats. she's a nuffie.

Umpiring living up to the men's standard but we'll take it
