As with the VFLW vs Norf this year, we are quite unlikely to have the luxury of having the better midfield.
Let’s just hope we don’t get the same traumatic result a third time…
Busiest 21:
Round 9 in the VFLW it was only 10 in a row (there were only 10 goals for the game). The final it was only 8.
I’m not worried.
P.S. The GWS fan must really hate the Crows.
| PLAYER | INJURY | RETURN |
|---|---|---|
| Emma Kearney | Hamstring | 4 weeks |
| Erika O’Shea | Ankle | Test |
| Georgia Stubs | Ankle | Season |
P.S. I respect St Kilda listing Chiocci as 8 weeks away, despite four others being “season” and the Grand Final being less than 7 weeks away.
It appears this week’s banner will be pre-emptively celebrating our greatest ever AFLW victory.
(In response to the obvious question, modest winds are forecast for this Sunday!)

No changes: the last three on the bench can be initially treated as the emergencies.
Gamble named forward again.
Norf also no OUTs yet.
Pacy Irishwoman Erika O’Shea remains in the squad despite finishing the Week 7 clash with Sydney in a moonboot. The defender fell awkwardly in a challenge late in the final quarter but was cleared of a serious ankle sprain before training on Wednesday.
Did anyone else get a text message the other day from Essendon inviting them to watch from the social club?
I think we look better with her playing as a key forward. Seems to help guide our ball movement.
How’d a yobbo like you get an invite like that?!?
Even I got that invite too
Me too
OK, OK, I get the message…
Sorry LilyRoseWill (she is lovely), but booooooooo.
Their midfield is good but it’s not Georgia Nanscawen good.
