ROUND 7 vs Saints
Ashley-Cooper succumbs to injury, again, and will not play again this year. Ash van Loon comes in to be a very big-bodied midfielder, and Molan moves to the middle as well. Big bodies on a wet day.
This is part of 13 (!!!) changes since we first played the Saints in round 2.

14 minutes into the second quarter we lead 0.7.7 to 0.0.0… it’s 1.8.14 to 0.1.1 at the final break (Wilson kicked the goal).
Manfre marks and goals early in the final quarter.
2.8.20 defeats. 1.2.8, and we move up to fifth.
101 tackles for us, 96 for the Saints. Dicker 19 (and each of hers are worth two), VanLoon 13 tackles (scary) and Radford 11.
For the opposition, you can tell there were a lot of stoppages: Madison Capsalis has 11 clearances from 15 disposals!
The only thing Grace fears is the cold.
