VFLW - Round 13 vs Port @ Port, 11:30am Sun 25 June 2023

With 8 games left in the season, I’m predicting the Saints miss finals on percentage.

Norf beat Darebin 57-8, and despite that will miss finals by even more percentage.

  2. Collingwood 36
  3. Williamstown 36
  4. Box Hill Hawks 36
  5. Essendon 34
  6. Carlton 32

Yeah nah… Norf will beat the Pies next week.

And Willy losing to FCFC? Never!

(I still can’t believe this is the same team I saw get destroyed by Footscray. They were lucky to be Darebin-level that day.)

Finishing a season on 0 wins is, needless to say, not great for morale. Yeesh.

The question is, how long can a club like Darebin, without the resources like an AFL or old VFA club continue to battle on in the VFLW?

The theory has been around for awhile that their licence would one day be transferred to Coburg, and Darebin would then go back (fully) to the NFNL.

They presumably read every single name, and still didn’t get it.

HAHAHAHAHA

Will be an extremely sad day. I know a few people involved in Darebin on the outside and they love their vflw team.

Seeing Frew named is so bittersweet. She is absolutely killing it there.

She isn’t.

Caruso is going very well, though.

This ground was rebuilt just a few years ago, and is a sandy craphole.

They do their advertising as well as their sandpits.

Jayda Richardson here as emergency.

Clifford has her left calf strapped.

LOL, Wilson is a fan of “Let’s go Bombers Let’s go!”

… she provides the not-sure-if-ironic CLAP CLAP

In warmup the crosswind is playing havoc with ball drops and flight through the air.

Reese and Orritt with the forwards.

Ford and Ugle with the defenders.

(as is emergency Jayda)

Prpic Cornish Davidge Molan Chaston with the mids.
