Very nice to be participating in September again, after too long a break. How our team will line up will be interesting. Who will be available also.
Pity the 2nds didn't make it: it would have been a great help for them to be there.

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Ready for the last H & A game for the season.

All ready for this evening. Damned silly time for a game: I need hours for my adrenaline levels to get to the point of being able to sleep. With work in the morning, this time really sucks!

Nina Kennedy won the Pole Vault at the World Championships. ;D
World Champion ;D

Where's our public Holiday? >

Well round 1 is fast approaching. Most people, and rightly so, are focussed on our mens team playing finals for the first time since the AFLW comp has started.
However, week 1 will be in the pre-finals bye week. So you can get your blues fix by watching the girls run out at Ikon park against the suns.

Unfortunately, i'm not expecting big things from our girls this season. We've lost one of our most improved for another season Maddy Guerrin with her ACL carried over into this season. We've also just lost our first round pick (pick 5) Lulu Beatty for the year as well.

They will join another few players on our injury list heading into round 1 meaning all but a few fit players will play.

But hey, games haven't started yet, so who knows.

A finals appearance all but sealed after so many long-suffering years. The Red and Black cheats, with finals on the line, getting their pants pulled down. Should be ashamed of themselves again!  :-[
Btw, did you know it will now be 19 years in a row without a finals win after this year for them? That is also their previous longest years in a row without a premiership. Until now.  )
Geelong are out of September, at long last. Surely. Collingwood lost last night, their wobbles are coming one month early. Could lose the minor premiership now.
What an amazing campaign by our Australian Matildas (minus the questions about the colours of their away shirts, that's another matter all-together.) But then I am also of Swedish descent. That's a win still too. 8)
Adelaide beating Sydney, for a home-final being all but certain, as well as an impossible top 4 spot by Hawthorn beating Melbourne, will make it a perfect week.

Game at 18:10; I have no idea why. Certainly not doing either team many favours.
