[Mitchell Madness]

Wet and miserable day at box Hill
Love the dogs fans. Bronx cheers after their first free (the first either way for the game)

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Forward line is non existent again

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Ashmore marks inside 50, wow, and goals, then again she is not a forward,

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Poor handball on the wing, dogs go forward and goal

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Forward line is non existent again

Midfield isn't much better.
They came out in the first and played to the conditions, but for whatever reason, after quarter time changed the gameplan

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Lack the big bodies in the midfield

No.1 priority is to recruit a tall forward who can take a mark, or at least get the ball to ground

Doesn't make a difference when the gameplan doesn't set up for forward entries

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Our best mids are Smith and Lucas-Rodd both been quiet and they are small Mids not suited in these conditions
Fleming is our best mid today and she is 17

Need to get Gilroy in there, but she’s been filling a hole in the forward line but not getting in there often enough

 

[grumbleguts]

Jasmine Fleming did extremely well with 25 disposals.

Jasmine Fleming did extremely well with 25 disposals.

She was great. Met her dad after the game(my childhood hero) and he was awesome.

My wife and I went to the post-game function. The girls were all fantastic. My wife and I have been going through a lot, so it was a welcome break (miscarriage).
She broke down because she was having a great time (first time in a month she's been able to forget). Dominique Carbone (who we'd previously met) took her under her wing, introduced her to the girls, and had a really long chat about footy with both of us.

Great story mate & thanks for sharing. Really sorry to hear about your loss.

Unfortunately it is part of life (estimate that 60% of pregnancies are unviable, just that normally the woman is unaware she's pregnant and it passes naturally). We are unlucky that she gets pregnancy symptoms the day of conceiving pretty much, so it's 3 earpy miscarriages we'd otherwise be unaware of.

Anyway, story is the girls were amazing, particularly when she began crying because she was happy
