It would be news to me, but if they say so maybe give it a try. As long as they aren't charging more than the general admission $10.

There is only the one small grandstand and it's basically reserved for officials, player's families, etc., even us long term die-hard members who attend very game at that god forsaken place don't get in. 😆

Mmmmm, worried now that Paxy's out....... 😟

As I understand it history has tended to show, at least with the men, that a single five day break is not usually a problem, but consecutive six day breaks can be. Hopefully, though, all will be well.......

Losing Tayla is bad news, hopefully it will be just the one week, we definitely want her back for the next game against Adelaide. One concern I have for the Geelong game is that it is our third short week (six day break) in a row. The men often say two short weeks is a problem. It's not a question of fitness and running out of steam, but compounded short recovery time takes the edge off - you aren't as sharp, reflexes a bit slower, etc.

She was fine at training on Tuesday till right at the end when she lay on the ground and one of the trainers started working on her leg, giving it a bit of a stretch and test. Hopefully it's not too bad...... 🤞

Not too much to report. Maddie Gay spent the first half of the session away from the main group, doing run throughs and other work with Sammie Johnson. However later in the session she joined in with the main group in match simulation, so hopefully she'll pull up Ok and be available for selection.

Actually we did play Geelong in a "match simulation", i.e. a practice practice match, a few years ago. See attached photographic proof. 😁 Funnily enough, the photo is of Jackie Parry - now with the Cats.

Yes, got the same email. After I contacted the club yesterday and was told the same thing. 😆

Just wondering if anyone knows when the team trains these days. I've often headed down to Gosch's Paddock on Tues/Thurs ~6-8pm in the past to catch them, but my understanding is that nowadays they have started training earlier in the day. I'm on holiday this week so thought I might try to get down......... 🙂

Seems all in the past now, fortunately. After collecting my drink bottle as my "fulfilment item" from the members tent today a nice young man came up to me and asked if, as an AFLW member, I would like a deck chair. I thanked him but said as a creature of habit I'd go and stand in my usual position. 😁

And speaking of records, Kate Hore is now the outright leading goal kicker in the history of the comp with 61. Her two goals against the Dogs put her two clear of.......Tayla Harris. 😁

And we haven't conceded a single last quarter goal in any of those twelve matches.......

Yes, great news. Though I do notice the one absentee - Maggie Caris. I can only assume she might be looking elsewhere in order to get some game time. She's a very good young ruck with huge potential and would probably be starting in pretty much every other team. I do hope we can still hang on to her, Loz Pearce won't go on forever!

Got myself one of these a few weeks ago. Excellent product, and very fast shipping. 🙂

Yes, there was more merch available immediately after GF - a mug, pennant, premiership t-shirt, cap and stubby holder. And don't worry about Tahlia being lumbered with all the signing duties - mine was signed by Goldie. 🙂
