Craig T

Was actually Daisy, just after we won the flag if I recall correctly. The average person wouldn't have known exactly what she was referring to until Emma Kearney, unbidden, came out all defensive and criticized Daisy for making the comment. In the men's game, yes. But not in the women's, apparently.

I was just about to post the same thing. Also helps you keep the player once you've got them. Not many youngsters in their early twenties want to give up a free car.

Gabby's a great person. Her last few years have been cruelled by injury. I now have a hope she might go back to Darebin and play a few season with the Falcs. 😁

Yes, I've been eyeing her for a while. Originally a Melbourne girl who "mysteriously" nominated Queensland as her destination in her draft year. She might want to come back home. Provided the AFL doesn't get in the way, of course. 🙄

If they have Shae Sloane lined up to take over make the announcement immediately. Don't leave it hanging and allow any potential uncertainty to lead players to consider a move elsewhere.

Slightly off topic, but just a thought that crossed my mind. If Carlton win tonight (and I know Brisbane are warm favourites) it will be the first time there have been two Victorian teams in the AFLW Grand Final. As such would the league consider playing the match at docklands? I’m pretty sure the reason they would say no is that docklands needs to attract a certain number of fans to break even due to its high running costs, and they don’t trust the AFLW Grand Final to reach that number. A bit of internet research has suggested that number is 20,000. However I assume that is based on a men’s home and away match, which has an adult ticket price of $27, whereas the cost of an adult ticket for the AFLW Grand Final is $35. As such the break even crowd for the women’s GF should be around 15,500. Given Princess Park has attracted over 12K of its supposed 13K capacity for the last two Grand Finals featuring a non-Victorian club, I would think there’s a fair chance you’d get your 15.5K for two Vic teams. Certainly enough of a chance to take the risk, I would think. If the AFL actually wanted to take the opportunity to maximize exposure for the biggest game of the AFLW season, of course. Oh, and it seems docklands is free next weekend.

I've heard Shae Sloane is regarded as a candidate for the vacant coaching spots. If Mick leaves, will Shae be more inclined to stay and take our senior position?

Sadly life has gotten in the way. ☹️ But if we are still alive next week............life will have to take a back seat.

Will do everything in my power to be there!

Yeah, I thought Denby was pretty good last week. Was a bit shaky in her first game back from injury a few weeks ago but she's gotten better with each game.

Gee would love to have Liv Purcell available........

GA is all we ever get!

Thanks. I know that's where the "visitors" change rooms are, but I wasn't too sure if the general public is allowed into that area, it always seems so sparsely populated when I look across from the other side of the ground!

Given North will be the "home" team, I'm assuming they will be in the Carlton rooms on the southern side of the ground. As such where will the Demon Army/our cheer squad be located? I'm thinking I probably won't sit in my usual Princess Park location as I'm not keen on dealing with the previously referenced feral North fans, and find the prospect of at least sitting near some decent, upstanding citizens decked out in red and blue much more appealing. 😇

A few years ago when I used to check out the women's footy forums on BigFooty there were two groups of unpleasant posters. The misogynists who would just be there to hate on women's footy, and the North fans.
