Great win girls!
Commentators barracked for Eagles all day.
Crowd was 2635. Disappointing given the nice conditions and round one result.
300 more than the flag-unfurling Norf had. All other games have not had their articles updated. Some looked pretty sparse…
Yes I caught up on this. Especially given it was well promoted by the club. I reckon they’d have hoped for 3,000 yesterdays. Not terrible but if they keep winning they will come in bigger numbers. They’re doing a good job making Windy Hill an experience with the girls.
The Flying Dutchwoman out for the rest of the season - PCL Injury
That absolutely sucks.
She’s so important to how we set up.
For what it’s worth I overheard one of the Fox Footy camera crew say that turnout at Windy Hill is always decent.
Agree. She is one of my favourites and this sucks.
Yobbos are decent?
It is really compounded by Maddi Gay also being out. They are the two who actually give us direction when coming off half back.
We probably need to consider throwing someone like Prespakis or Alexander behind the ball to be play makers until Gay is back. Otherwise, it’s just handing the ball back over and over like we were doing yesterday.
We can get away with it vs Richmond. But then it is Geelong, St.Kilda, Freo. They’ll beat us comfortably if we do that against them.
Can we clone Amy Gaylor? One in the middle and one off half back?
Mate, if we could do that, we’d have a Bonnie forward, mid, and back… and be pushing for top four.

Bonnie suspended for two weeks
Just saw the vision. Surely appeal that?
That suspension is insane. Literally a perfect tackle which Bonnie had to dive full length to achieve. Isn’t the criteria meant to be two distinct motions?
The one in the last quarter where she expertly ensures she does not land in the back of the victim?
What a crock of ■■■■.
To be fair, this game was a complete shambles when it came to tackle frees (explicitly the AwFuL’s plan).
The [nameless] match review officer classified the offence as rough and careless conduct that was high impact and high contact.
Remember, kids, never tackle around the waist.
Elsewhere, a punch was judged to be worth $250.
