I get COVID at the Midnight Oil concert, and so my sole insightful contribution to this game comes when perusing photos later:
Going in, North are the sole remaining team who has beaten us every time… but we win 13.10.88 to 2.2.14 despite “interesting” umpiring and a looooong sequence when we repeatedly fail to properly convert scoring shots.
Nalder is a late withdrawal, so I don’t miss her 50th VFLW/EFC game. Morcom does play, and reaches 50 games (44 with us and 6 with Diamond Creek).
Bella Ayre debuts for us.
The injury list reveals two un-announced players have joined our squad; Appleby and Ryan will play for us down the track.
For the third time, an EFC VFLW player kicks four goals in a game (all three were Frew). But in the literal closing seconds CBomb joins her.
