ROUND 4 vs Casey
We react appropriately, by dropping Annabel Strahan (and 7 others!)
The INs include vanLoon, Radford, and El Chaston (the latter playing her first game with us).
Sargent is here but not playing. The next game she plays will be for the spit Pies.
We kick the first 5 points of the game (Paige Scott the worst offender). Then she becomes Great, marks, and goals ten minutes into the game.
At quarter time we lead 2.6.18 to 0.0.0 – not due to wind. It’s 10 inside fifties to 1.
Not long into the second quarter we lead 21-0… and it’s about now things go awry.
Courtney (on the wing) has zero disposals at half-time!
For the first time since 2019, we play Barba in defence.
Great Scott straightens us up, and makes our lead 36-22 at the final break.
That’s 4.12.36, from triple the inside fifties.
Scott is knocked out by a teammates’ elbow (they was pushed into the collision by a Demon). And then it’s 37-29, then 37-35… ruh roh!
We fall over the line, from an inside fifty lead of 39-17. After that errant start, Scott kicked three of our four goals.
Alyssa Bannan finished top with 108 fantasy points (20 disposals, 7 tackles, 9 clearances).
