Emerson Jones. She’s been the world number one ranked junior girls player so the talent is clearly there.

Good bloodlines too - her Mum is Loretta Harrop the Olympian triathlete (won a silver medal in '04) and her Dad was apparently a gun Qld Aussie Rules player.

It’d be nice to have someone develop into a genuinely decent player on the women’s side post Barty. Hope she goes well in the coming years.

Her brother can play too.

Barty could walk back in to the top 10 in women’s draw if she wanted too. Still only 28.

There’s nothing you love more than the notion of bringing back people who are done is there :sweat_smile:

Cyril, Gleeson, Barty… I feel like I’m missing a couple still?! Haha

Fwiw, yeah I agree that she could but she seems very content being a Mum and living a comfortable life without the travel.

goldstein, heppell, kelly, etc

Crazy how dominant she was her slice game destroyed everyone she could have become a great tennis legend in Australia by wining half a dozen slams or more

Just had another baby too

Fantasia has been poor, but Blues trading out Owies and Keeping Fantasia was a bit perplexing.

Still Fantasia would have rivalled Gresham/Guelfi as our best small forward last year when he was fit :wink: same with an ageing Rioli :slight_smile:

Gee the Brisbane International men’s final was an embarrassment.

They should have a clause to bring in the next best loser from the semis to play instead.

Felt for the punters at the stadium.

And talk about a cringe speech from the American guy who pulled out.

Tomic will struggle to get thorugh qualifying because he struggles with anyone ranked in the top 200.

It does show how amazing an effort it was for Lleyton to win Adelaide at 16.
