And his son is in-and-out with Brisbane. Plays OK, but not in their best 22.
This sucks. The acl, not the only this season bit.

I am down in Melb and going to the match on sundayā¦ there will be 3 of us, 2 with memberships. What is the go with getting entry to the game? Do we have to book or just turn up? Do members pay, what does it cost for non member?

Members should redeem a ticket on Ticketmaster (no fee). $10 to buy the other entry.
There is a ticket booth at (at least) the Brewster Street entrance, but Iām guessing they just do the TM route anyway.

Sense prevailed and Maddy cleared to play. Shame about Daria. I was hoping sheād escaped serious injury and would be able to make it for the last couple of games. Hopefully she has a good recovery.

I canāt believe the game is at 5:05pm Sunday. Donāt they want a crowd to attend? TV I get it, but hardly helping to grow crowds. Put it at 1:10pm and get families filling stands like the games against Saints and Shockers.

Gotta keep the average crowd under 3500 via scheduling and low-capacity groundsā¦ otherwise they are contractually obliged to provide an extra game next season.

Thanks!
The IN for Bannister TBC.
Based on naming order, it could be van Loon replacing Dani, and Doonan replacing Daria.

WEST COAST
In: M.Western, A.Bushby, M.Webb
Out: Nil
RIP Dani 
Mind you, they named Radford at full backā¦
Stolen from https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1054927/full-r8-preview-three-top-eight-shapers-do-or-die-for-dogs :
West Coast [are] the worst contested ball and clearance team in the competition
Do our thing, and they might only get the ball via turnovers.
Marnie is going thereā¦
[The bit below doesnāt mention the Bears also get the Dees in Round 10.]
While many fans have all but locked in the [Big Four] for a double chance come finals, there could be an upset to whatās become the natural order in the AFLW. If the Lions lose to Adelaide and Essendon (5-2) beat West Coast (1-6) on Sunday evening, the Bombers will leapfrog the Lions into the top four.
Essendon then play Carlton and Gold Coast in the last two rounds, which are hard games but not out-of-the-question wins. Especially if they get some momentum with a big victory over the Eagles at Windy Hill this Sunday.
However, theoretically, all the teams on 4-3 could also make the top-four ā Geelong, Gold Coast, Collingwood, Carlton and St Kilda. But they could also miss finals altogether.
(Caveat: their model persistently tips Bulldog wins, so it may be crazy. It has them this week as an 89% chance to win their first game of the year, with an expected margin of 21 points vs the Bin Chickens.)
