3 Cats? I can see Kennedy and Morrison, but where's the 3rd?

Wouldn't it be better if we just said O'Rourke's and Scheer's seasons are also over since our season will most likely be over in 2 weeks?

Two pretty solid inclusions here, but does anyone know what injury Chantal Mason copped last week?

 

[cats_09]

I'm not sure what the injury is, but could it help explain why Mason played limited time last week? Feels like a season where we can't take a trick, and two weeks running we're naming an injured player as an emergency - so down to 23 fit players it seems


Geelong have made two changes for Saturday's clash, as they head West to take on Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) in Week 9.

Star midfielder Amy McDonald returns after overcoming a hamstring injury, while Rachel Kearns also been added to the team after missing last week with concussion.

Gabbi Featherston is unavailable after suffering hamstring tightness against Brisbane, while Chantal Mason will also miss Saturday's clash through injury.

The Cats will take on Waalitj Marawar on Saturday at Mineral Resources Park in Perth, with the opening bounce at 6.05pm AEDT (3.05pm local time).

Geelong's Week 9 clash will be broadcast on Fox Footy and streamed through Kayo from 6.00pm.

Not sure on Mason's injury, but having just read the full injury report for this week and this sucks for Kenny - though sounds like we've signed her for an initial 2 seasons which is the same as we did with Moloney & Kennedy

After further assessment, and missing last week with an ankle injury, Kate Kenny has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a stress fracture in her ankle.

“Kate has unfortunately sustained a stress fracture in her navicular and has commenced her rehabilitation. While that will rule Kate out for the remainder of the AFLW season, we will support her and eagerly anticipate her return to the field with her Gaelic team for their season, and we look forward to having her back, fully fit and ready, for our 2025 pre-season,” Johnson said.

If the AFL try and give this same type of schedule again with or without increasing list sizes the women should tell them to go and get ****ed.

So many teams barely able to field a full team and hell some are using top ups.

If they're serious about wanting to build the brand, they need to sack the current AFLW board and get in people interested in making it succeed.

You can see by the increasing number of young girls in the crowd that the interest is there if the league really wants to tap into it and make it grow. That's not going to happen if you're condensing the fixture or rostering games to start at 5pm on a weeknight.

Not a bad hanger this.

Careless, high contact and medium impact - 2 or 3 weeks… or does the MRO recognise this for the accident it clearly was

They should throw the Tribunal out if this gets even a fine.

If this season continues the way it has we could end up being the only side NOT to lose against North whilst not making finals ourselves

And we should have won that one if we didn't have a couple of goals disallowed...

So very true... We have had a weird season in that we should be in finals but probably wont be

 

[Gunf]

How often do we see it in AFLW/AFL etc that a side peppers the goals but can't get one and a min later it goes straight up the other end for a fairly easy goal.

Both forms have a huge physiological aspect to it.

Did anyone say 22 fit players...

Disappointing for Thorne as I thought she'd shown some positive signs and wanted to see how she went over the remainder of our season

Guessing 2024 isn't meant to be our year
