I suspect the first two items are related!
Primed the witness/leading question, your honour!
Whatâs with the last one? You arenât bailing on us and going to the Crows are you Dani?
If her hobby is League of Legends Iâm sure her trash talk would be next level. Savage buggers on there. Lav is banned from there for a year.
Dani will be playing for the USA Freedom in the AFL Transatlantic Cup.
The game against the Great Britain Swans will be streamed at 4am AEST this morning (and available as a replay) under the live tab of the AFL Canada YouTube channel.

I cannot get used to hearing my own accent calling this sport. Talk about cognitive dissonance.
Dani pretty much played against GB right off the plane, which is some accomplishment in my mind considering I need about four days to get over jet lag.
A few Denver girls in the side, which is no surprise to me.
Essendon Royals got a name drop.

That will be a tall order. Ireland pretty much always wins these. Considering the overlapping skill set from Gaelic, not entirely surprising.
Been fun to watch though, especially since Iâve actually played footy with two or three of these girls.
Ireland pulls away in extra time to win by three goals, 7.6.48 to 4.6.30.
The US led almost the entire match, but could not put Ireland away late.
Dani clearly stood out, doing her thing from CHB, being a proverbial wall in the back half. Unfortunately a lack of class and depth, especially forward, was a problem. Ireland was fresher and the extra time period proved it.
Obviously the lack of depth is still our biggest problem⌠our weakest players just donât have the skills required. We tackle and chase very well, but we drop routine chest marks. Disappointing cause the midfield was great for a good period of the match.
At times it was like watching Essendon.

I liked the bit where they spoke about âbig footy namesâ⌠but instead transitioned to Nick Riewoldt.
Ah you posted it here before I could.
Probably nothing new in this report, but Iâll never complain about any press the game gets overseas.
I found the episode of Samantha Brownâs Places to Love that filmed a segment at Windy Hill, with Dani, during the St. Kilda game last year. Starts at about 5:46.
You will probably need a VPN to watch it.
