You only get the “OH MY” part of the OMG from the deputy yobbo.

But not the first time this yobbo will have Albrecht in the bests. Maybe THE best.

Started a little slowly but built up after that with a prominent display.

Pins and needles when your hands defrost is bad, right?

Seek medical care, I reckon.

We move up to third fourth, assuming Sandy don’t implode versus Willy tomorrow.

  • Superficial (surface) frostbite: This is the second stage of frostbite, and it requires medical treatment. Your skin might feel warm, but the water in your skin is slowly freezing into ice crystals. Your skin contains over 60% water. This can cause a “pins and needles” feeling. In addition, your skin may sting or swell up. After rewarming, you might have painful, spotty patches or purple or blue areas of skin like a bruise. Your skin might start to peel and feel just like a sunburn. You may also get fluid-filled blisters in the area after a day or so.

Norf VFLW comfortably beat Footscray AFLW

Port are currently destroying the Cats. We need to do that next week.

Top for tackles (both teams), Albrecht top for fantasy points.

Another game with a close number of clearances and we went (somewhat) more handball-heavy and mark-light than our opponent. Not playing to our strength and the conditions there.

But the worm tells the story best:

Casey(Morris) were brilliant early, but for the last 55 minutes we shut their scoring down and very slowly crept back.

Yeah, I expected a bigger win, but it was Casey (Fields) being Casey, and winning is winning (especially when chasing down a big lead).

  • Davidge was dominant early; she faded but 2 goals and 6 tackles was important.
  • Abbey and Chaston continue to rack up the stats (24 and 21 disposals, 5 tackles each, 6 and 5 clearances). Abbey also topped score involvements (4) and intercept possessions (9) and contested possessions (15).
  • There was a big jump to Albrecht and Melnikas, as noted, topping the tackles. Albrecht is more than her stats, but she won them too today! For someone with irregularly-skilled disposal, she would still be one of the easiest selections each week.
  • Jayda snuck in with four clearances, including the one which was the goal assist to Albrecht.
  • Plummer was a great type to have today: big kick, hard at it, knows when to drop back and save us. Topped the inside fifties with 5.

As noted, first EFC goals for Albrecht and Thompson, both in the final quarter.

DAMAGE moves to 6 season goals, ahead of Bernardi and Richardson (5).

Mifsud wrist tape possibly says MARTY.

The sole remaining Molan at Essendon has not played a second up forward. Ignore the named team positions.

Plummer’s goal?
