VFLW - Round 12 vs Casey @ Casey Fields, 12noon Sat 17 June 2023

Quarter 4:

  • Sutton and Ugle (and Neal) cop decent hits early. Courtney’s is the worst: waiting under a high ball and Nianh O’Neill comes flying through with a knee to the ribs. After she hands off the ball, Courtney runs straight at O’Neill to lay a return bump.
  • There’s a two minute sequence of nine stoppages 30-40m out from Casey’s goal at 9-11 minutes into the quarter.
  • Around 14 minutes in, when Casey finally get a point, La Presidenta is seeing none of the footy because Ziggy is going very silly over a water bottle.
  • The bounce with 3 minutes left is almost the most ridiculous goal ever, and from now on we know we are one kick from losing (and basically no prospect of getting it back). SCARY!
  • Casey players getting demonstrative as we enter the last minute.

I’m never gonna watch this again, but geez those last 11 minutes was us fantastically refusing to die.
