VFLW - Round 10 vs Port Melb @ North Port Oval, 1pm Saturday 25th May 2024

I have soooooooo much more to say this week!

QUARTER ONE

  • Special comments from Trev and Sam in the box: they don’t think Hartog looks like a Child of the Corn anymore. I disagree.

  • 3:30 Caruso couldn’t get a regular game in 2022… and she’s a ■■■■■■■ gun.

  • By 4:55 we are behind 0-12 and I might have been a bit worried at that time… score from now onwards will be 39-15 our way!

  • Stoppage from 9:25 for the classy collect and kick from Chaston, and zippy little Manfre goaling. In the end she was front-and-centring Huta vs two defenders, and that made it easy once they failed to mark it. I think Huta forward is a bit of a bizarre move, but it somehow worked here.

  • Ava Jordan is Mini Ashley-Cooper (and playing on her).

  • 13:50 we’ve missed the raw pace of Caris-Brett, running down Ashley-Cooper here. Tay also helps on that side of things in this game.

  • 14:30 second well-timed tackle by Prpic — didn’t over-commit, and took Bella down.

  • We had a pretty all-star set of assistants today, including Perkins as connection from the coach on the bench to the elevated box, and G&P with the mids. Perkins can be seen being manifestly demonstrative towards the ump at 17:45

  • 19:00 Molan marked/intercepted so many of Port’s kicks down the line. Here she sells candy, and pumps it deep for some Manfre Magic.

  • For the second week in a row, the camera fails to capture some yobbo embarrassing himself. The stairs from the stand are steep and not that grippy, and I bounced down half-a-dozen steps on my way to the huddle… somehow I managed to throw my armpit over the railing and so stayed vertical during my rapid descent!
