I won't see this one in all probability, so I doubt I'll be able to vote. Hopefully some of you have pay TV!

Do you best, do your worst, as long as the team plays its best.

My God, what a shocker.
Coaches and players will be under the spotlight for this. It was simply unacceptable.

All ready for tomorrow. I won't be seeing a single minute, so those who can, please shout for me.

With the recent improvement in form and some close results, the Bye has not come as a really good time. However, it is something we will have to deal with.

Boomers v Philippines basketball game, seen a few decent brawls locally but nothing like this, players, officials, spectators...
Started with some pre game carry on, some banner getting broken then with the locals getting well beat they decided to go the knuckle on Chris Goulding who had been smart mouthing a few of the opposition....Dan Kickert then stepped in with a shocking elbow to the head of the  agressor and then it was like a bar-room brawl...Nathan Sobey who has a head you would like to punch and a Hayden Ballantyne type persona then was attacked by about everyone including a local official who could throw a punch at him including chairs getting thrown etc...Sobey didnt actually do anything but was just targeted. He wasnt in a good way as were several of the aussies who needed to be helped off the court.
Thon Maker of NBA fame decided he would add some comedy by entering the fray in a Bruce Lee manner by leaping around trying to high kick the opposition but failed to lay any boot on anyone and looked very comical in the process...
Ended with only three local players on the court as the rest had been ejected......they had a couple of big American lads who tried to lay haymakers on our blokes but like their basketball proved too slow to connect with much...

Was a real bad look for the sport and the Philippines should be a no go zone for visiting teams as it isnt safe and the officials running the game there need banning as well as half their team...and just to top it off the Philippines team then all posed for a courtside selfie on social media...very happy with their days work :o

Brisbane are playing well in Perth at the moment, while we have traveled poorly this year. They have pounded us in Brisbane in recent times. We will get Daisy back, maybe one or two others. We also have questions over Casboult and a number of others that are really under-performing at this point in time.
We are not on TV again, so I probably won't see any of the game. That irritates me. But ...

Hopefully there will be players to reward this week. (I deserve punishment for my spelling! Last week I spelt like a Collingwood Banner!)

I'll be at this one. I hope the boys turn up.

All ready for tomorrow. Do you best, do your worst. As long as the Blues do their best!

All ready for tomorrow. I hope we win. I don't like Port.

Melbourne Uni have strong links with the new North Melbourne AFLW franchise and are playing some of their girls.
Our Blue Babes really need a little something at the moment, but hope springs eternal.

This is a Double Header with the Northern Blues, the 3rd such this season.

It is very nice to see Alison Downie named for the Blues. I am certain she hasn't played VFL for us before. It gives us more ruck options and someone who can take a mark. Granted that she struggled to make an impat back in March, but I can hope. I also like the return of Sophie Li.

M. Suzuki is an interesting inclusion as well. I know nothing of her at all.

Melbourne Uni

On the other hand, I am not at all happy seeing Kate Gillespie-Jones and Danielle Hardiman is foreign colours.
