But they are worth it. 😊

And for us suckers who travel down by public transport, train replacement buses from Westall to Cranbourne. 😠

Yay! Heater, S. Taylor and Lampy all back, and Tay, Goldy and Ryleigh fine after their scares! 😁

Do we have employee in the women's program whose job it is to smash mirrors/walk under ladders/encourage black cats to cross their path?

If Tayla is right to go and Heater, Saraid and Lampy are all Ok this week that's a big jump forward. Then hopefully Blaithin and Georgia G next week and, providing no one else goes down, that's about as good as it will get this year. I'm assuming Beasley won't be back, I don't know if it would be wise to bring her in for finals having basically missed two seasons.

Need to get a handy lead, if it stays close Freo win.

Jas Garner now one goal ahead of Kate in the race to the ton, 96 to 95. Big game tomorrow hopefully!

I'm happy to be corrected by people who have better knowledge of these things, but my understanding was that Tayla's potential move to Hawthorn last year was not of her doing. I believe Hawthorn made overtures with promises of a top ten draft pick for her, and given our young tall forward stocks of Zanker, Gall, Campbell and Hose we decided to consider it. But it transpired Hawthorn had no genuine intention of delivering what she was worth so the deal died.

I could well be wrong but my recollection is that she was touted as a key forward, possibly one good enough to walk into the team for round one in her first year if she hadn't been carrying the ACL.

I'm guessing no one was out at Casey watching the training session yesterday for a first hand report! No update yet if Zanker's head knock is nothing to worry about, or how bad Taylor's hamstring and O'Hehir's knee soreness are.

On the way home from Casey on Friday I was waiting at the bus stop on Punt Road by Gosch's Paddock and it didn't look like it was undergoing maintenance to me. The number of people running about kicking footballs around was the big clue. 🤨

Wow. I was very close to heading to the session today, glad I didn't. If it had been moved to Princes Park I would have understood, but that is disappointing.

I'll still be there! 👏

Yes, Campbell will be available for selection; https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1902012/injury-report-two-demons-to-test Sad that Lampard has been 3-4 weeks for three weeks now. 😥

Hmmm, the Irish girls are great but when you're selecting one team from a pool of 40 players and the other from a pool of 500 I think there will only be one outcome - if it was Aussie Rules. But if it was the old combined rules the men used to play, then it might be very interesting. 😁
