[Commando]

that was my guess, I actually thought it looked good as well and would be fine if they made that switch permanently

Unfortunately my poor brain couldn't compute
Felt like I was watching from the ground but I was in my house

Big loss for St Kilda

Rachel Kearns will be a test for this week’s clash with North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos after sustaining a chest injury in Geelong’s AFLW season-opener.

Kearns was initially assessed at the stadium on Saturday night, before being taken to hospital for further assessment, and was back at the Club on Monday.

said the Club would continue to monitor Kearns throughout the week before determining her availability for Sunday’s match.

“Rachel was a strong performer early in the game against Melbourne on Saturday, including kicking a great goal, before a chest injury ruled her out from finishing the game,” Johnson said.

“We will continue to monitor and assess Rachel throughout the week and ensure her wellbeing is at the forefront of decision-making.”

The Cats otherwise had a clean bill of health out of the game.

Geelong takes on North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos this Sunday at Arden Street Oval, with first bounce at 3.05pm.

I feel for Melbourne more than I do for Harris - all too often she seemed to put herself ahead of her team & teammates

2 changes probably.
Rankin and Scott out

Plummer and Mason in ?

 

[cats_09]

Just the one change - thinking there won't be too many upset

Rankin had to be dropped.
Good move.

Rankin had to be dropped.
Good move.

About time.
Better late than never I suppose.

 

[OzeSparky]

Friswall looked bigger in the shoulders last week. Thought she performed really good.

 

[cats_09]

Anyone going?

 

[cats_09]

Bugger

But we'll get to see how confusing it is for the commentators with 3 x McDonald's today

 

[cats_09]

This is going to be a big loss for Sydney

 

[rocker_oz33]

Piss off Abby...

 

[cats_09]

Darby jumping in the ruck contest to start the match - already an improvement on last week

 

[cats_09]

Amy needed to kick that off the ground before rather than trying to pick it up

And that surely was holding the ball

 

[rocker_oz33]

LoL didn't have it play on.
HTB....play on...

These guys

 

[cats_09]

Bullshit

That wasn't too far

 

[rocker_oz33]

Webster silly ..

 

[cats_09]

 

[rocker_oz33]

Need too mark that ...sloppy

 

[Willo_]

Surman dropped marks for fun last week and she's picked up where she left off

 

[cats_09]

The free kick for in the back was soft - how often do we see that every match and no call
