The girls had their final hit out of the preseason today and now move into the season proper with the first game against Melbourne at Casey Fields this Saturday.
Today’s practice included an unveiling of a plaque to acknowledge all foundation members. It involved some drills followed by some match simulation and an address from the coaches and some players.
The only slight concern coming from the day were Emma Humphries who seemed to hurt an ankle but went back on later I’m pretty sure and Abby Green who hurt her knee. She has had some knee issues in the past and probably just jarred it but is a bit careful due to her history. Fingers crossed she is good to go as it frees up Emma King to play forward.
Jas Grierson and Brit Gibson both played all of the match sim and are good to go.
Tahni Nestor spoke about her journey to the top level and her struggles with injury. She isfit and firing now and thrilled to have an opportunity. She seems to be the first in line to fill the role left open with Jess Duffin’s absence.
In good news for us our sponsored player Aileen Gilroy is in line to play in round one. Everyone is very impressed by her skill level and intensity at the contest.
The coaches seem to have taken note of the area’s of the game where we fell short last year and addressed the issues, namely getting out bodied by bigger more aggressive midfielders and stopping the momentum when teams get a run on.
The club is really doing well with the girls teams. I encourage everyone to jump on board and attend the games if you can. I know they appreciate all the support.
