0.2.2 trails 11.3.69 at three-quarter time
If this was West Coast we’d be behind by just 15 points.
Last year we went 0-72 for the last three quarters… shame we forgot the early goals this year!
Stassi starts in the middle for the final quarter. That won’t last long.
But she slips forward and snaps… bounces for a point 
3-69
Warburton doesn’t calm down and hit our forward twenty metres clear and thirty metres out; over the head and they rebound.
Ponter run down by Morcom then Hicks in successive inside fifties.
But she gets the last laugh with a snap from the middle of a pack.
3-75
She’s a 38 point turnaround from last year.
Moreen bananas from the boundary… and misses.
4-75
We’re pushing…
STASSI!
It was a legit kick 180º over the head in a pack from fifteen out.
Ump over-rules into a touched point.
5-75
FARK YOU, THAT’S WHY.
Bullas a strong contested mark 35 out and quickly hits up Collier. 45 degree angle and… point.
ARGH.
6-75
We’ve doubled their points tally…
6-76, Baird nearly a nice goal.
Collier tackle free and hits Stassi on the lead. The kick falls short/isn’t taken by us at the top of the square.
Ahrens intercepts at fifty and tries to kick the goal herself on the run. Reasonable approach, but it comes off the boot as wonky as any kick from her today and falls short.
Ahrens clearly our BOG. Runs down her opponent on the break to goal.
We have the ball on the wing but the umps says NO: an NT player is having a little rest and the ump holds onto the ball for forty seconds to stop us getting that elusive goal.
NO WAIT!
Moreen marks at 20:24, siren at 20:34!
GOAL!!!
These timekeepers are farking awesome!

And I’m off to the wrestling: matches tonight include Joey Ryan vs Syd Parker. That’s a serious clash of styles.

“Highlights” (we feature twice in the last 30 seconds!)
Georgia Nanscawen provided one of few statistical highlights for Essendon in its big loss to the NT Thunder, the Australian field hockey player and former North Melbourne AFLW-lister recording a clear game-high of 22 disposals (six more than any other player) and round-highs of 20 contested possessions (11 more than any other player in the match) and eight clearances.
ROUND 7 STATS LEADERS
CLEARANCES (8): Amy McDonald (Geelong Cats) and Georgia Nanscawen (Essendon)
CONTESTED POSSESSIONS (20): Georgia Nanscawen (Essendon)
This week there is no equivalent post in the VFL thread, because that bunch of no-hopers spread the load and failed to claim any individual glory.
