Yes, you can say that.
It’s a disgrace you didn’t say it earlier, to be honest.
P.S. Fark Carlton

ESSENDON v CARLTON (ETU Stadium, Sunday 11.10am local time)
No other new AFLW club came out of the box last round as well as the Bombers did from their shiny black package and red sash and bow. Maddy Prespakis, AFLW 2020 best and fairest and three-time club champion for Carlton, was electric for Essendon, earning a full 10 AFLW Coaches Association votes with 26 disposals and a goal. Prespakis looked positively giddy last running out for the club she grew up barracking for and lines up this week, with teammate Georgia Gee, facing her old side, which since its 2020 semi-final victory, has underachieved. After a solid first half last week, the Blues capitulated to Collingwood without much of a fight. Fortunately for Carlton, Mimi Hill, last season’s Rising Star Award winner is expected to play, after suffering a corked quad. Still, the Blues are very vulnerable to an Essendon outfit keen to shine bright in its home debut.

From what Maddy and Georgia said it sounds like the Carlton girls will be too busy joining in the booing to get the ball themselves.

Kept us in the dark for (at least) 9 hours.
Bloody hell. Give midfieldiest midfielder a smidgen of game time (at half-back) in game one, then drop her. She stood out in the tiny portion of time she got through the midfield.

AFL site confirms Radford was “omitted” (her presence as an emergency also suggested that).

Has been a bit of rain here overnight/this morning, but it’s stopped now.
A few players on the field early, including Toogood goal-kicking.
