Yes, the fixture says 12noon but apparently our VFL game is being televised now so they’ve shifted things around a bit.
EDIT on Monday: fixture now fixed.

We beat the Cats 41-15 down there in the pre-season. Both goals were conceded in the final quarter; well, one was conceded, and the other was an umpire making it all about themself.

FROGGY set to reach 50 VFLW games:
- 6 with Footscray
- 5 with Port (when they were aligned with Tiggers AFLW)
- 39 with us
MINI set to reach 25 VFLW games (1 as a junior elsewhere).
(Marli Klaumanns-Moller needs 1 more to reach 25 as well… but she has to get into the team first).

I had an error for 2024 round 1 that meant I thought she was reaching 49, but I was still much closer than what “reputable” sources like the below claim…
Amazingly, PlayHQ was actually correct.
Two huge injury outs for the Cats (Peck was in the VIC State of Origin and as ruck was their B&F last year, and Staunton is their captain and key mid)…
In: Charlotte Canavan, Olivia Woods, Cavalle Boxer
Out: Hayley Peck, Mel Staunton (injured), Sophie Mahar (omitted)
New: Charlotte Canavan (Ainslie/St Josephs), Cavalle Boxer (Geelong Falcons/St Marys)

Our AFLW pre-season camp is happening, so don’t expect any inclusions from there.
P.S. Hurry up. We shouldn’t lower ourselves to VFLM time (6pm).
McFarlane centre, Gilcrist forward. Whatevs.
The new benches make vision for a pretty large section of seating and standing areas non-viable. Going to need to repurpose those areas…

Verbrugge still not evidently hampered.
