We've had 2 draws on the run, i would like to end that with a win, but we are up against the all conquering Dees, so i'd be more than happy to make that 3 draws in a row.
Dees are undefeated this year. Made the GF last year and will be our toughest game of the year by far.
Miracles do happen though....
Tayla Harris will be well rested in returning from her 1 match suspension. Wonder if she will be any good, last year she wasn't missed.

Our luck with injuries is .... I don't have the word for it actually.
Dees wiped the floor with us a few weeks back. They'll do the same this week. I feel sorry for the girls already but hope they can approach it with a "lessons" mindset.

It’s good to see Serena Gibbs back in the team. If she can hit her straps, we could really stretch Melbourne’s defence.
The likes of Skepper, Sherar and Plane and our midfielders will have to be on their toes.

Bernardino comes on to play her first game for the club. Significant because she is not even on our list of 30 players!
In my talk of available players earlier, I forgot that Brooke walker is still unavailable due to rugby commitments. So at heat we have 23 players to choose from.
From memory Bernardi was a tigers player and a tough nut at that. She may have even got suspended for a rough tackle. With nothing to lose, I wouldn't want to get in her way tonight.

Bernardi was Collingwood’s leading goal kicker in 2018 and made the All Australian team that season - not that All Australian selection means a lot.
Hopefully, Christina hasn’t slowed down or been overtaken skills wise by the latest crop of players.
We’ll find out soon enough.

She also played for tigers though.
Another former Collingwood player who played for tigers was Lauren Tesoriero...and that's who I was thinking of above.
And Christina played for GWS between Collingwood and Richmond, and was their leading goal kicker in 2019.
She couldn't get a run with Richmond in the earlier 2022 season and was delisted. She was a train on player with us and, although she didn't make the team, she shouldn't be too far off the pace.

Harris has 3 goals already.
Another list management master-stroke ?
