She is a defender. 183cm. It’ll be interesting to see who she’s replacing. Excited for her! 

Described in the MFC article as a key forward 🤷‍♀️ Let's go with versatile! Hopefully the scan comes up clear for Maddi.

More Heath appreciation, this time from teammates:

Love what her teammates say about her.

Unfortunately it’s looking as though predicted strong winds means we won’t be able to raise her milestone banner tomorrow. (Yet another Casey negative.) It’s especially disappointing because the players helped us make this banner so it’s pretty special. The Guard of Honour will just have to be twice as long as usual, which may mean it starts from the carpark, such is the length of our usual GoH 🤣

reckon it might be a touch windy at Casey today!

Y’ think???? 😜

It’s a good thing there’s so many windbreaks at Casey! 🙄

Hullo from Bribie Is (where they're also having such a touch!)

An extra dose of concentration required from the girls, then. With only half a game to score in, and the other half presenting a heightened defence challenge, this is the sort of game that can slip through the collective fingers.

Go (carefully) Dees!

[DubDee 25,438]

game plan - 

give to Bannan and she runs it into the square 

[BDA 22,691]

an incorrect disposal free straight away. Fair enough but I hope the umps are consistent for the rest of the day

[BDA 22,691]

class act tyla hanks. clean as a whistle.

[DeeSpencer 25,378]

If there was ever a good shot for goal that ended up a point that one from Galway Gall was one. Most AFLW players wouldn’t get near the distance kicking in to the breeze from there. She looks a talent

‘What’s the motivation to play today’ asks the commentator of the assistant coach of the team currently in 8th, [censored] me

it really is appalling

we're hitting the scoreboard and making it count now

[BDA 22,691]

another strong mark from Gall. Good hands.

[BDA 22,691]

very inaccurate. lacking composure

[DeeSpencer 25,378]

Trademark inexcusable mistake from Birch and then Wilson beat dead in the foot race. 

[BDA 22,691]

didn't get near full value for our dominance in that quarter. left 3-4 goals out there.

Freo are game but if we hold them in the 3rd we're home.

Death, Taxes and DeeSpencer having a crack at Birch.

Or paxy. He thought she should have retired about 5 years ago. 

[whatwhat say what 22,570]

paxy and birch will go down as legends of the mfc

[whatwhat say what 22,570]

that holding the ball call can get in the bin

[biggestred 4,984]

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

that holding the ball call can get in the bin

You know its bad when the commentary expresses their surprise 

[DubDee 25,438]

how are we not 50 pts+ up? 

lazy kicking.  especially that Zanker one from 10m, can’t blame the wind for that

[dees189227 12,361]

Any chance Bannon could get into this game?

[darkhorse72 1,901]

not a bad qtr into the wind... time to put the pressure on in the last to keep that % gap from those below us.
