We’ll just have to smash them again.

Maddi Wilson not likely to play against us next week – looks like she trashed her knee real good vs Hawthorn just now.

Will be a VFLW.TV (and Radio 3DJR) exclusive game

Given I found a bunch of Bendigo Pioneers had been added to our VFLW list via the AFL pre-game listing of all possible players, and the previous suggestion that somehow we were spit sharing Bendigo with them, I went and looked at their list on the AFL site.

The bastards don’t bother to list their VFLW team on their own website, but from the link below I think they have zero NAB League players on their list (from Bendigo or anywhere else). They have added all 31 AFLW players and 1 Coburg player (Teagan Brett).

P.S. Fark Carlton.

Getting COVID before finals, sensible. Though McDonagh risks being a mysterious Thomay Nicolaou if she doesn’t turn up soon.

LOL at us apparently resting Nalder while we play the two top rucks of the league.

Our changes since the last game vs Fark Carlton are

IN: Doonan, Clarke, Ayre, Elarmaly, Appleby (total of 8 career VFLW games)
OUT: CBomb, Marshall, Nalder, Ford, Hosking (159 games)

Yikes.

eek

FCFC have changed 9 of their 21 since we last met, and as part of that they have removed all of their AFLW players. That includes Imogen Milford, who kicked 3 of their 4 goals in round 3.

Bigger yikes.

Some video of Appleby at:

Due to a minor knee injury she missed Combine testing last year, which may have helped her not get drafted.

G.L.O.R.I.A. joined EFC in 2019 as a Cannon, but this will be her EFC debut.

We saw her in the practice match versus Casey. She was one of three not-really-rucks filling that role on that day, and with Nalder and then Marshall out this week, we’re going to see that again. I have no expectation she will beat Jorja Borg, but I think she’ll provide a bit more around the ground than Cornish.
