The women came out while the men still had 10 minutes to go. Plenty of support from the men. Richardson brought the men back to the women as they were leaving the field, and circled them all up for a short speech and for bonding.

The women got straight to “it”, following a joining of hands in a circle, and after calling the men to unite with them.

Chaplin and Zanker working together in rehab. I heard a trainer say to Chaplin that they will go close to the verge. She is not kicking the ball. Very unlikely for this week.

B.Macklin was in rehab, or light duties.

Beasley continues to impress, big question on whether she is match fit though.

Gall and Campbell doing lots of forward work. Gall being given the leading into space role and Campbell for the one on one contests. O'hehir also spent some time forward.

Goldrick looks right to play, as she was heavily involved in the sims.

Paxy brought maximum effort today, plenty of talk, support and run.

Colvin spent some time down back in the sims. Appears to have a “niggle”, as she was on and off in the squad.

Their spirit and belief is there. They are mostly serious as they get down to it, though the joy is just bubbling under the surface.

Go Dees.

Gabs didn’t look happy when she came off the field and was talking with Tess (the W doc). It stood out because she’s usually super upbeat. I feel bad for her, she never gets a good run without issues.
