Well, if you have ever seen a one sided supporter base, crowd, commentators, et al., it was the Ajla Tomljanović game versus Serena.

Time stops for nobody, great career from Serena.

Great win by Ajla Tomljanovic, giant slayer.

The 2nds play Brisbane in Brisbane this weekend.

First time we play the bombers and first time we come up against the traders Prespakis and Gee.

Both very clueless in what they've actually done.

Quote:"In some ways I was a little bit surprised in the way some people reacted to it, in terms of people we thought were really close to us, ringing some people and not getting the response we wanted back was probably a little disappointing," Prespakis said.

Quote:"I was a little bit disappointed in a few of the responses we got, but I guess that's just what comes with it," Gee said.

Not the result we wanted to start the season, but still gotta give kudos to those who deserve it.

Who deserves the 3, 2 and 1 votes from tonights game?

Any blockheads out there? Oi! Oi!

Only one team scored more than 100 points against us.

Three of our players made the All Australian team (should have been five!).

Charlie was the Coleman Medalist.

Nine of our players kicked 10 goals or more (six last season). 

Only three players took part in all 22 games.

Our oldest player, Nic Newman, is 29.

We had to play 39 players this season.

Our draw was tough.

We missed out on the 8 by percentage.

We have the measure of most of the teams who made the 8.

Charlie re-signed.

The players adapted well to the new game style and enthusiastically adopted the "how can I be a better teammate" mantra.

We challenged and overturned Crippa's unjust suspension.

We kicked 268 goals and 249 behinds in 2022 as opposed to 250 goals and 246 behinds in 2021.

Well, we won the VFL.
We lost the AFL.
Its 1-1.
Lets see if we can win the AFLW to break the tie.

TBH, i'm not confident as Pies have a better list which is more settled.
We will probably spend a few weeks finding positions for a lot of our girls as we've been raped and pillaged by other clubs in the off-season.

IN:
McWilliams - Cats
Velardo - Pies

OUT:
Prespakis - Bombers
Gee - Bombers
Egan - Tigers
Stevens - Saints
Wilson - Dees
Jones - Gold Coast
Brazzalle - Pies

FWIW, every game this year, we had 5 or more of those players in our best 21. 3 games, we had 6!
We've basically lost over 1/4 of our talent in the 1 season....and its high end talent.

But....a victory against the pies will help us get over it....

So, who plays in our team for Week 1?

Which of the listed players are available?

Well done young man

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-.

Hopefully we'll have guys to vote for.  )

Hopefully we have some people who want to vote!

Start without me. I'll be a awhile.
