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.
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. 😁
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!
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. 🙂
