Wardlaw can’t get near it as st Kildas entry into the forward line is shocking. Very few entries as well, wasting her talent at st kilda

Well that won't help her get the recognition she deserves and couldn't get winning premierships and leading goal kicker awards for us

 

[Elixuh]

I don’t want to go too early before our match but lol St Kilda

 

[rwan566]

First game where one team scoreless?

When I heard she was going to the saints I was baffled bcos as a forward she's going to get practically nothing.

Just caught up on the replay of the Port win. Very impressed with young Charlie Mullins, she's given the opposition defences a fair bit to think about in her first two games.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Just read that Taylor Smith has a hamstring injury and is expected to miss a couple of games. Pretty important player, hope she gets back OK. We're off to Tassie to play North next week, so not ideal.

Charlie was super impressive in the practice games. As Fages would say she seems to have the footy chip.

Only just out of school, the club website describes her as 'one to watch' which I believe is code for 'We think she is going to be a good one'.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not a great reflection on the comp that hey can still still grab someone from Ireland and give them games practically straight away

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Interesting she seems to be getting a game over Miki Pauga at the moment.

Keen to see how Dunne goes. Named earlier than I might have thought, but Tay's injury probably meant it's necessary. Guessing McKee will relieve in the ruck.

 

[briztoon]

I thought Dunne was projected to be a tall defender.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I thought Dunne was projected to be a tall defender.

By whom?

 

[The Flying Belgian]

I thought Dunne was projected to be a tall defender.

I don't think there's been any real indication as to which end of the park she'll play. It's possible she might go to the back line and someone like Campbell (who has played as a FF for Maroochydore" goes into attack. Or maybe they think her skills will translate to attack.

 

[briztoon]

By whom?

Starcevich. I’m sure it was on the new Roar Deal podcast.

Starcevich. I’m sure it was on the new Roar Deal podcast.

I guess that's the advantage of selecting someone who's never played. You can play them anywhere

 

[rwan566]

She played as a forward in Gaelic football

Mullins looking really good today

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Hodder breaks the seal! First goal of the season

 

[AFLQLD]

Excellent pressure at every contest.

 

[Mayestro]

Pleasing for Postlethwaite.

Did Campbell play forward last week? We look to be switching things up a bit due to the lack of tall options. Especially as Dakota is a good chance to miss with a dangerous tackle next week.

Crazy good goal by Hodder.

 

[MSB ROYS]

There is a game day thread if you want to post there...

 

[AFLQLD]

There didn’t seem to be too much in Dakota’s tackle. She wasn’t driven or sling, more just the result of momentum. The Sydney player was straight back into the game. Hopefully a fine at worst.

Just need to be a bit cleaner at times. Lily Poss is starting to get some touch and confidence back.
