AFLW 2020 Rd 2: Carlton vs Collingwood at Ikon on Sunday

[crashlander]

It will be interesting to see how Collingwood play this week, having stolen Davies. It will also make next weekend's game have a little spice. I'm hoping we can keep our run against the Meat Pies going.

I'd be playing McEvoy on Davey and send a message that we don't need you, you have been replaced.

I note that the club has refused to acknowledge her since she left.
On 'Behind the game changers' they freely talk about previous players in regards to past stories, habits and what not. When the player in question was Bri Davey they refused to name her and said 'we wont talk about her will we' or words to that effect.
I think players are very bitter, still, towards her and they'd be keen to ensure she knows she made the wrong call.

Davey was taken from the ground with a lower leg injury late in the 3rd quarter today.

She appeared to be in a lot of pain, had the stretcher come out to her, but she hopped, and then limped off the ground without it in the end. Rules state that if a stretcher comes out, you are done for the day. So she may have been good enough to coe back on, but we'll never know.

The injury itself occurred in a marking contest, appeared to get a knock on her left leg, below the knee. Potential for a break, possibly a PCL, but also possibly just a bone on bone crunch/stinger.

Fingers crossed she needs a week off.

Indeed.
I can understand why the girls are still angry with Davey. I am too.

This a is an aspect of AFLW that will show itself as a stark contrast to AFL, it's highly highly unlikely the girls will be having a friendly beer with Davey after a match.

I would prefer it if the person we can’t mention  was fit to play.  It would mean that Collingwood have no excuses and it would also give our players an opportunity to work out their frustrations/anger

Nah, f*** em. Let them have their excuses. This will be their 4th excuse on why they lost to us.

Incidently, the Magpies are the only team above us on the combined ladder, albeit with a mere 3% of difference...345% to 342%
next best is 278%

They've got their excuse so we'd better flog them by a fair margin; 4 goals will do nicely
