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.
Expect a temp of 25, and a decent breeze to right of screen.
This will be an AFLW Grand Final spoiler-free thread.

Appleby has a sharp haircut. Must be the direct replacement for CBomb.

All emergencies in the warmup, as usual.
Caruso only sneaker-ed.
The breeze and partial cloud cover is quite cooling, thankfully.
Wind isn’t yet equal to the Saints game (but could become so), but is pretty much direct to the southern goals.
Appleby with the forwards, so may be replacing CBomb in more than just hair.
Elarmaly with the mids. Cornish #1 ruck, it seems.
