We'll done, you two: AFLCA votes had Sarah Lampard high up. As a spectator, it's not always easy to appreciate a back's game.

...or HP, TR and KP!

Missed an appointment last Wednesday, @leave it to deever?😉

And now done. Paxman's game better than I thought, just wilted towards the end? Lots of HMs - Heath, Goldrick, Zanker, Colvin, Hore, general-on-the-field D.Pearce, etc, and I reckon some of Fitzsimon's efforts might be credited to Hanks?😉, but I'll go with 5. L.Pearce 4. T.Hanks 3. L.Birch 2. K.Paxman 1. T.Harris

Though I was there, I'm afraid I can't vote faithfully. Missed 1st quarter (see game day thread) and stood where full game appreciation is difficult - at true ground level, almost below most of the field's level, and mainly at north-end (scoring end and building shade) 'Grandstand' inaccessible, eastern wing 'stand' looking into the sun and heat. I'll watch the replay and will post then if that's acceptable and timely.

And the girls' '1964' ('9.10.64') final score reminiscent of Gus's grasp of the never-again-to-be-surrendered lead that hallowed day.

p.s. It was interesting finally being somewhere that you realised no-one was going to engage you in conversation because of your Dees apparel!

It was.

3 straight at the southern end; the problem was at the northern end. I stood in the shadow of the Big Black Box and the wind really swirls in that pocket. Also, many of the shots, partic in the 2nd, were from a distance or tight. 1.5 in the 2nd quarter was somewhat rectified to 6.5 in the 4th. So not 'backwards' from 2021, but room for improvement. Per my earlier post, some 'footy intelligence' 'learnings' to be had?

No doubt. But seemed a bigger crowd than any mens 'twos' game I've been to. Car park sure told a story.

Harris: Round , 1 goal; Round 2, 2 goals; Round 3, 3 goals... Paxy, lots of tissues, yes, but pretty low on effectiveness this week. Right week to have a 'lapse' (as it turned out...)

Seemed a pretty good local attendance here today!

Floodgates. Saints not disgraced. Scoreline flatters. We managed to force the ball into the forward line and individual skills then delivered, rather than much system.

Daisy Warne.

Metal.

Daisy is a Lever in the forward line - constantly instructing.👍

Foot. Pedal.

You were saying, golly? 😄 That was a prolonged hold. That's when multiple umpires pays off!

Sun very hot, regardless of breeze. Anyone else here feeling they're jinxing?

Gee EZ's ferocious

Saints defending well ('desperation?) Bit kick and hope going inside 50.

TH's one-grab pack mark, of a fairly mongrel kick, was something to see close up. Good that she honoured it, too. Over-allowed for the breeze with her later shot. It's pretty fluky around the big black gym.

Only got here near 1/4 time (car parking and reception for electronic tickets leave something to be desired...) Gusty wind a factor for set shots (bit to learn there?) Temperature, too? Also affecting their 'revolutionary' possession/ transition game? And certainly not 'winning the ground ball' as they have been.

I'll be there, to take the baton from you city slickers!😁

There's getting to be a lot of us out there... On topic, I guess any references to 'that' grand final entertainment fail will be a bit muted now?
