Next week the Blue Belles, Blue Sapphires, our triumphant girls, will face Brisbane next Saturday night (17th Feb) at Ikon Park. Entry is free - I believe that games at the new Optus Stadium in Perth are NOT - and the guys will be there before the game.
This game is being broadcast on TV even with Channel 7's Olympic coverage.
I am hoping to go: it will depend on my 15 year old daughter who is doing some part time work. If she is up to it, then we will be there. If not, then we watch it on TV. How slack! Not the performance of a true fanatic at all!
Given Brisbane's recent form, I do not expect us to pound them. We will be missing Bri Davey for certain (and probably for the season): we played particularly poorly last year when Davey was injured. Whether Tayla Harris gets up for the game is also questionable.
Unfortunately, AFLW does not yet have the depth for us to cover someone as good as Bri Davey. It is like trying to cover for an injured Judd: not as task that can be done easily. Harris may be a little easier to cover, as we do have some taller girls, but considering some of the marks she has been taking lately it is not a task I would feel comfortable in us being able to manage.
