I’d play Jordon instead of harmes

I certainly didn't miss him while he was cancelled. One less hack was fine by me.

Wardlaw has requested a trade. Lions having a horror trade period. She would have been a great fit for north but looks like she’ll up end at the saints https://www.womens.afl/news/118784?_ga=2.247941063.1548521588.1678408536-295818016.1678408536

Shout out to our ALFW team. A credit to themselves and our club, they represent the red and blue with distinction. Play as hard and as tough as the blokes. And with no little skill. Fantastic ambassadors for our club.

We got through PSP unscathed while the Lions and Crows lost key players. Great outcome overall and testament to the strong culture and belief our list has in the club and our chances of continued success. We're in great shape. And I reckon flag favourites given how our direct rivals have been depleted.

and at a club that's in contention

Ah. thanks for clarifying

If that's the case, I say pay him what he wants and get this deal done now. No point dragging out the inevitable and encouraging unnecessary, destabilising noise from the likes of Kane Cornes.

BB wasn’t quite on his game but he was still able to draw a number of free kicks. He’ll be better for the outing and will start round 1 and play all the big games. Reckon 15-17 H&A games from him is as much as we should expect. JVR will get his chance this year, no need to push it

The only way we’ll find out if Laurie can make the grade is if we play him. Jordon will play plenty of games for us so I’ve no issue with him sitting this one out for Laurie. And I agree Laurie looks a long way off.

Big tick for the Gawn Grundy axis yesterday. Both marking and kicking goals and Maxy a presence all over the ground. They are a real point of difference for us. What odds both are in the AA team this year? Worth a punt i reckon.

Very enjoyable hit-out. Fluent ball movement and players looking fit and primed. I can’t wait for the season to get underway

Trac has been excellent. Looking primed for a big season

superb banana kick from bowey out of defence to Hunter. Kid is full of confidence and playing well.

Umps like Spargs

Harmes ball use poor today.

That would have been some goal if Clarry could have finished. He's looking sharp.

there's an echo in here today.

Brilliant team goal and nice finish ANB And getting excited about the season ahead.

It'll be a huge bonus if Grundy can mark and kick goals like this during the season. Very good first quarter. Everyone looking reasonably sharp (other than Brown)

Nice mark and finish Grundy We're looking good.

Nice kick TMac. He looks in good shape.

Untidy disposal so far

HArmes should have done better with that disposal. under no pressure
