That goes a long way to explaining the lack lustre performance

anyways, no time to dwell on the loss. Gotta get back on the horse and be ready for the Swans. They'll provide another tough test of our flag credentials

Good news… the Club has said both Tay and GG have had scans and have been assessed and there appears to be no structural damage with either. We now await the injury report when it’s furnished later in the week.

Absolutely, no excuses, but that does explain a lot. Those early stages were frustrating because I felt that it would have been an emphasis going into the game to really start well and get on top, so I was disappointed with that aspect. Adds a bit of context.

Also forgot to commend Tayla and actually several of our players who really put it all on the line with the game in the balance and many out on their feet. We're going to start winning these close ones at some point!

Stuck in a lift for an hour!

I'm no elite sportsperson, but I can't imagine being stuck in a lift for an hour is anything but an atrocious preparation for an AFLW game. Kudos to those involved for keeping their spirits up.

Maybe we need to start having our players travel in lifts separately 😆 At the very least, not Kate AND Tyla.

In fact, that particular group looked like our bench would three minutes to go and 50 points up in a prelim final!

Lookee where I am…

I’ve been to the men’s trivia night which is sorta fun but I imagine tonight will be SO MUCH FUN. It’s the inaugural W trivia night

Gotta go! The Drag Queens are ready to get proceedings underway. I’ve already told LJ33 and Dingo our table will romp home and leave the other pretenders for dead 👊🏼

GO US!!!

@Ghostwriter another little task if I may.

When you speak with any of the women's team, could you please encourage them to bring more sass to the end-of game team song? The arm around should deal is very blokey. The women have produced a wee swagger. Time for boldness has come.

It's time for our pioneering women to bring female sass to the team song.

I was a basketball coach for all 3 of my kids - 2 girls 1 boy. I enjoyed it so much I continued coaching b/ball after they stopped playing. I coached many boys and girls teams, loving the difference in coaching between boys and girls. As a hobby, I even coached representative junior basketball for 3 years I enjoyed it so much.

I suggested to each girls' team to come up with a little chant they'd do pre-game and coming out of timeouts. Many of the girls' teams developed fabulous chants with hand claps, twists, turns, etc. The boys had no interest.

Vive la difference I say - long live the difference between men and women.

Girls and young women have many instances of synchronised activity - team gymnastics, cheerleading competitions, synchronised swimming. When I lived in Shanghai I'd go for a run each morning. Early every morning, in every park, in many different areas of each park, there would have large groups of women doing a synchronised dance routine. Often there would be a strange dude or two copying the women's routine behind a tree some distance away.

No, one of them wasn't me.

Anyway, I'd love to see the women's team move away from the blokey team song routine and bring some sass. Dees girl fans would simply love it.

Vive la difference!
