VFLW - Round 2 vs Port @ The Hangar, 12:30PM Saturday 19 Feb 2022 - our percentage is 1106.25%

We’ll lose the ruck contests to Darby and Winbanks, but it probably won’t matter.

Port were leading Casey (that 3-65 practice game Casey) 15-25 in the first round, and then conceded the last 20 points to lose.

Who gets the job on Sophie Locke up forward?

Is this where I beg and plead @Catherine_Lio in her role as El Presidente to move the start time to 1:00pm, so I can get from Princes Park to Tullamarine fast enough to do two games in one day??

In round 1 Port only played 2 Richmond-listed players: Sophie Molan had a whopping 14 tackles to go with her 17 disposals and four clearances, and Stella Reid had 14 disposals, six tackles and two clearances.

It was 1:30pm for a while there so you were close to getting your wish… now you will have to choose your favourite teams.

Well, we’ve decided to do the madman’s dash.

We’re going to do Blues v Saints, get off-air at 11.53am, then race down the Tulla freeway and be on-air at The Hangar at 12:29pm.

We should save you a park!

Main concern is saving our table space next to the cameraperson!! :crazy_face:

Seriously, you’ll see me as the mad person with the case rushing out of the car’s passenger side door, then sprinting up the stairs to level 3!

I’ve always said the AFL website is run by amazing people.

I’d say there is a distinctly non-zero chance that whoever entered that legit thinks 9800% is the correct value.

Wait, where is that from? The AFL site is still wrong (link below). I noticed they updated the VFL app today but did NOT include this.

We’re gonna kick more goals.

Don’t worry, @Catherine_Lio, your previous leaking re: Manfre being an early inclusion was clearly allowed…
