The girls are due out on the park any minute now. I just got here (thanks PTV, you suck) to find out the VFL captain’s run just wrapped up and I missed it 😭

    Paxy acknowledged they were bloody lucky to get away with the win, that they were complacent and let things happen that they usually wouldn’t let happen.

    Blaithin, Goldy and Tahls are in great spirits considering.

    The smile on Gabby’s face is gold. She’s so happy to be playing.

    Each player has a family member/friend with them as a training partner. Banno’s mum Shaz is a crackup… so keen. A couple of dads getting shown up by their daughters 😅Lily Johnson’s boyfriend is her training partner.

    I met a new girl today, Danika McDonald, a 16yo from Alice Springs who trained with the team and will train with them for a couple of weeks. She’s an NGA product. She hopes to one day be on our list ❤️💙

    Was introduced to Mr Hore, father of Kate. We had an in-depth discussion on hand-warmers and whether you should put them in your shoes. We agreed to disagree 😁

    Training sounds like a real hoot.

    It is. But it’s always serious. No S&Gs here, even though it’s a captain’s run. They train hard and they train long. The session was scheduled to run for an hour. When I left it had gone an extra half hour and they were still out there.

    I guess I make it sound like it’s a real hoot but that’s because I interact with them before and after the session and yeah, they’re so much fun. But once they hit the park… it’s serious and intense af.

    The general vibe was awesome. Everyone’s quietly confident of a solid win tomorrow, with the exception of one who’s not so quiet… I said all the “right” things to Paxy about tomorrow… a win’s not a given, every game is a challenge, you can’t take oppo for granted etc. Paxy cuts me off and says “Yeah nah we’ll [censored] smash ‘em.” 😂

    I'm sure Lily's boyfriend enjoyed the footy master-class 😆

    Hi Ghostwriter. How did Danika look on the training track. It is obviously a great sign she has been invited to train with the AFLW program for a couple of weeks and looks to be a great prospect for us for the future.

    Danika looked great, very impressive. Quick and light on her feet. Took on drills with enthusiasm and seemed to revel in being out there. At the end of the session her academy chaperone (for want of the proper term) was genuinely delighted with how she went. Lots of praise and she was super proud.

    She’s also a sweet kid and has an infectious smile.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
