Alana’s dad hid on the outside wing all day before returning to the interchange side just before the end. It’s his way of concentrating on the game.
Handy 50th…
Hint: the answer is no.
Weird game in that we only lost inside fifties 24-28, though.
Thanks for reports

Expected result elsewhere with Willy 7.3.45 defeating Footscray 4.3.27… was still tied up 5 minutes into the third quarter before Willy broke away.
The winner of Willy-Norf goes direct to the Grand Final and will be massive favourites for the premiership.
Footscray will play Port to get to the Preliminary Final.
Top Ten busiest:
Alana 17 tackles, Rhodes 14. Tassiopoulos next with 8.
Top clearances:
- Di Cosmo 11
- Rhodes and Barba 8
- Tierney 5
- Hunt and Huggard 5
Barba led inside fifties, Chaston led rebound fifties (both 5).
They had top-end talent, we had depth: 6 for everyone else for them, 21 for us.

Not that (almost) anyone else for us got a set shot within 40m, but geez those three kicks were great (one fell a few centimetres short). All at the end with the wind into/across the kick.

No LIKE for you!
Even with only 5 games and 4 goals, she finished (personally) on a high note, and she definitely made our club and team better this year.

Lots of instant support. She has a very different personality to what you might expect from a big beast; something I did not fully appreciate before this year.

Now we’ll never know who the other fan behind the goals was when she kicked her final goal.
Hell, I was 90% hidden behind the post… and I feel bad for only taking the “before” photo!
