Ladies Lounge / AFLW 2022 - R8 vs GWS @ Manuka - Sun 7:10
Best thing about this game is GWS have to play saints on wednesday night.

So a winnable game, becomes a winnable game against a fatigued side, albeit on their home deck.

Lets see if we can go back to back!

Ladies Lounge / AFLW 2022 - R2 vs Brisbane @Maroochydore NO LONGER - Now vs Geelong @GMHBA
Reigning premiers got embarrassed against arch rival Adelaide in R1 and will be looking to make amends.

We will want to bounce back after a disappointing R1 as well. Have we got the class to do it? Are playing what could be the best 2 teams in the league in the first 2 rounds a blessing in disguise to force us to lift our game?

Not sure of the ins/outs yet, but i'd be bringing in Poppy Schaap if fit. She is a player that everyone will love. Energiser bunny in a small package with a heart as big as pharlaps.

Hopefully Egan gets up.
Not sure what is up with McEvoy
Prespakis limped off at the final siren which is a worry we don't need either.

Do we get anyone back?
Wilson? Hill??

Ladies Lounge / AFLW - 2022 Leadership group
A smaller leadership group, one might say a traditional leadership group

Captain - Kez Harrington (Going solo after Loynes' departure)
Vescio and O'Dea the only other members.

Vescio and O'Dea are best mates are very much jokers, so could be ganging up on Kez who is much more on the serious side.

Robert Heatley Stand / Ben Crocker wins first ever Carlton VFL B+F

1ST  Ben Crocker  64
2ND James Parsons  50
3RD Toby Wooller 44

4TH Stefan Radovanovic 40
5TH Josh Honey 30
6TH Lochie O'Brien 29
7TH Cooper Stephens 27
8TH Sam Ramsay 25
8TH Tom North 25
10TH Will Setterfield 24

Some may have said he was worth drafting during the MSD. ;)

IMO the talent is clear, this backs it up. Missed opportunity. I reckon someone will take a punt on him in the draft, even if it is just the rookie draft.

Ladies Lounge / AFLW 2021 trade and draft period - DRAFT NIGHT

GWS on-baller Jess Dal Pos received interest from Geelong but is more likely to end up at Carlton. Her reasons for leaving the Giants are more to do with the fact she’s about to finish at paramedics course than anything football related.
Yes please.

Blues forward Vescio was courted by St Kilda and Geelong but has agreed to terms on a deal that will keep her at Ikon Park for another two years, her agent Alex Saundry confirmed to Foxfooty.com.au on Thursday.
Thank f*** for that!

Quote
The same applies to Jess Hosking and Carlton, who are both keen to remain together but are yet to come to a financial agreement.
This will get worked out soon enough.

Carlton’s Tayla Harris looms as the big news story of the trade period. The Blues won’t say it publicly, but they would entertain offers from other clubs for the 24-year-old. It’s understood Harris would prefer to stay at Carlton but there is little doubt the relationship between her and the club has deteriorated after Foxfooty.com.au revealed she left training early to post an Instagram photo one night.

Sources say it’s not irreconcilable, but will take some serious work for Harris to remain at Ikon Park in 2022.
Either get to work signing her, or get to work trying to pry out the biggest fish you can find from another club ASAP.

I wouldn't say Vescio was a shock winner, but Maddie P not making the podium is. While she was far from up to her 2020 form, she got 5 BOGs from us voters from her 8 games.

Nic Stevens must get a vote per dropped mark to finish that high.
Love her effort but i think her output compared to some below her was lacking.
Example would be Bree Moody. How she finished 8th, while making the AA team is a bit perplexing.

Reckon Laloifi is a bit stiff not making the top 10 too.

Blah-Blah Bar / Movie & TV thread...
I don't know if you're into sci-fi, K, but if you or anyone could recommend a good sci-fi from Netflix it'd be much appreciated. Not into hairy monsters, green blood, exploding heads (though loved Mars Attacks), fancy killing devices, death and killing but rather a sci-fi with at least a modicum of intelligence (loved 2001, Contact, Solaris (both versions), interstellar...).

@Baggers
Not a lot on Netflix at the moment. Better ones on Stan.

Tau is probably the best one i've come across on Netflix, but again, better ones on Stan.

I'd try and track down Ex Machina if you haven't seen that one. Not sure what platform its on at the moment. EDIT: Its on Stan

I've also watched I Am Mother and Circle. Nothing like 2001 level, but again, Netflix is lacking in that area IMO.
