Lost Birch, Gay, West, Sherriff in trades out.
Went young in the draft.  
With Purcell, Aimee Mackin, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to “compete this year”.  That’s 9 out of the best 21 team from 2023.

that was too easy

[BDA 22,737]

that was terrible from alyssa bannan. just soccered the ball rather than pick it up. 

[BDA 22,737]

our decision making is so poor. filed kicking mistakes and zanker there. just sheapprd the goal through

[BDA 22,737]

thats a great kick fitzsimon. excellent set shot finish

[BDA 22,737]

Love Goldy but jeez some of the decision making

[BDA 22,737]

Gall deserves a spray from the coach at quarter time for that selfishness

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Composure, non-existent. Just calm down a little 

[BDA 22,737]

we've fought well after a poor start. nothing wrong with our heart and endeavour. just need to take a breath and make better decisions

[Jumping Jack Clennett 1,780]

Umps have backed Norf

we'll take that 50 though

2 goals to North from v lucky bounces

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Is Kate Hore playing?

[D4Life 2,468]

What’s the score please

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,110]

Shades of last week so far: opposition's link, run and carry, and being beaten in the air, particularly across half forward. Endeavour up again, too, though.

[BDA 22,737]

rubbish free kick. i assume a dangerous tackle but it was nothing of the sort.

Not good. 37-13 North’s way

[BDA 22,737]

lauren pearce is a big loss. King is monstering Campbell

[Craig T 179]

I have no doubt that in most games the bounce of the ball will favour one team, but today we've been killed.

[BDA 22,737]

shelley heath cracking in as usual, paxy seeing a fair bit of it. the team have tried

but North are a cut above. its an uphill struggle from here. 

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Looked a fair way off them that quarter. Ball movement too stagnant (mostly due to skill), and not strong enough in the contest.

North look good.

This, unfortunately.

Also, not realising the lesson Mick said was learnt from last week - too many drawn into the contest leaving nothing outside, in contrast to North.
