Forecast is for considerable rain on Friday. Interesting to see how we handle that down at the Kennel.

Bring your floaties!

Teams in.
IN: Jess Edwards
OUT: Mua Laloifi (conc)

That makes our team worse overall specifically our backline.

However, Edwards will increase our running power which is required.
Still prefer Walker, Pound and McEvoy back though.

Game time.

Hopefully we can correct our first half start from last week.

Not to get too carried away with this AFLW stuff, but the game plan is shite. Just playing like Auskick kids. Everyone follow the ball around and just kick it. Not sure how we could've been pre-season favourites? Defies belief.

We are missing at least 4 of our starters. Thats how.

Pound, McEvoy, Walker, Laloifi all unavailable due to injury/concussion.

All better users of the ball than most out there.

Girls showing good fight and grinding it out.

Pressure pressure pressure.

As long as we don't let the dogs get the quick kick over the top, we are all over them.

Or let them get that in the first minute of the last  :

All over red rover.

It will be tough, but its only 2 goals.

Gee misses what she should've kicked.
