Haha good timing that Port are playing North this weekend. Maybe a bit of extra publicity now.

We’ll be lucky to kick a goal in this one.

The likes of Ballard, Tahau, Dunn, O’Dea, Borg etc. will get most of our disposals because the ball will be down that end of the ground a lot.

Alex Ballard will be clear best on ground for us once again.

 

[raptalia]

It is at Alberton so that may spur the girls on but unless we have found a power forward we will struggle to kick a winning score.

 

[Marmozet]

This week would be a good time for Erin Phillips to kick that elusive goal for us, especially at Alberton.

I’ve been beginning to think she might be cursed to never kick a goal for use

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Yes please Gemma

 

[philreich]

It might be North's only win over Port for a while.

 

[Ray Nolan]

Geez, any danger we could have a game later than a 12:40 start? This is another one we have to miss because we can't get to Alberton in time from my daughter's Saturday morning activities.

 

[68vette]

Weather forecast looks ok for this one. Hopefully Gemma is back so we have someone to kick to.

Plenty of game simulated goal kicking practice this week at training needed.

[TeeKray]

Arnell says we'll play our 29th player this weekend - Laquoiya Cockatoo-Motlap is my guess.

 

[Marmozet]

IN: Houghton, Johnson (debut)

OUT: Doumanis (omitted), Hammond (omitted)

 

[Marmozet]

Lily Johnson debut!

Cheyenne Hammond was probably due for a spell.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Gemma back, so we should be competitive.

 

[Grave Danger]

Lily Johnson debut!

Cheyenne Hammond was probably due for a spell.

From her bio on the PAFC web site:

The skilful goalkicker made her senior league debut earlier this year and has shown she can be smart up forward and through the centre of the ground. She caught the eye of Port Adelaide recruiters as a clean player with great goal-sense and has huge growth potential in an elite environment.

Lily Johnson debut!

Cheyenne Hammond was probably due for a spell.

Don't understand why Hammond hadn't been dropped yet. I'm not a fan. Just noticed she's out and very happy about that.

 

[pastmyprimus]

At the ground. Not a big crowd but both stands are full. You won’t find a better ground surface anywhere.

Haven’t watched a game at Alberton for a while. Still getting my ahead around all the food trucks serving ‘gourmet’ style food

 

[Marmozet]

Having a crack early.
