Hey @Blummers32!
2022 ROUND 9
The setting for this game is very different to every game we’ve discussed so far: this time we are sitting up top of the ladder, and Collingwood have lost 4 of their last 5 games.
Spoiler: Gardner is never back from injury…
The Pies are playing 10 AFLW players from the most recent season, and we are playing 1: B. Abar – sorry, A. Barba. And she has a shocker first up. So surely we get rolled?
The Pies do score the first 8 points (the goal via a fifty) and are clearly the more efficient team. And then in the closing minutes of the quarter Clifford and Tierney go BANG-BANG, and we lead 12-8.
DeMatteo cops a Honey Badgering and is very slow to get up.
Sure, I write the below every game, but it never fails to amuse me.
By halftime it’s 32-14.
8.8.56 (brother!) we lead 2.2.14 at the final break.
Our social media team aren’t as “wholesome” as they want to portray.
G.L.O.R.I.A. !
This is our second-highest-ever score (behind the 98-0 destroyation of Footscray in round one).
Sim Nalder, after two weeks off, finally reaches 50 games as a Bomber. Jesse Davies (left) had reached 50 VFLW games 5 games earlier but apparently no one reads what I or Brendan Rhodes write, and hence no one at the club knew till this week.
