We've had 2 draws on the run, i would like to end that with a win, but we are up against the all conquering Dees, so i'd be more than happy to make that 3 draws in a row.
Dees are undefeated this year. Made the GF last year and will be our toughest game of the year by far.
Miracles do happen though....
Tayla Harris will be well rested in returning from her 1 match suspension. Wonder if she will be any good, last year she wasn't missed.
2017 R1 - Carlton defeats Collingwood in first ever AFLW match 2019 R1 - Carlton defeats Richmond in tigers first ever AFLW match 2022b R2 - Carlton defeats Essendon in our first ever AFLW meeting*
*2022b R1 - Essendon defeated Hawks in their first ever AFLW meeting. So Carlton has inflicted Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon with their first ever AFLW defeats. That is something that can never change.
As far as i can tell, we only have that record against those 3 teams.
I resisted the urge to post about his passing in March.
For those who don't know, he was the drummer of Foo Fighters. He was the drummer for Alanis before that. He had a couple of his own bands and would record with many other big time artists in his time, including Elton John. Much loved drummer, singer, father and all round good guy. The only bloke that could perform Freddys 'Under Pressure' and do it justice with both energy and vocals. Not bad for a 'drummer'.
I had tickets to see the foo fighters later this year, yet again, that obviously can no longer happen. The band will probably never play again because Taylor is irreplaceable.
Many musicians from around the globe have felt the loss and tributes have been flowing in. So much show that they have put together a tribute show for Taylor....well 2, one in England (in the early hours of this morning) and one coming up in New York.
You don't have to know Taylor to enjoy the show, you just have to enjoy music.
I recently watched a George Harrison tribute concert from many years ago. I can't remember many more types of these shows that are made, and certainly not one this big. Packed out Wembley stadium no less.
Do yourself a favour and set aside to watch this. There will be something/someone you like, guaranteed.
First time we play the bombers and first time we come up against the traders Prespakis and Gee.
Both very clueless in what they've actually done.

"In some ways I was a little bit surprised in the way some people reacted to it, in terms of people we thought were really close to us, ringing some people and not getting the response we wanted back was probably a little disappointing," Prespakis said.

"I was a little bit disappointed in a few of the responses we got, but I guess that's just what comes with it," Gee said.
Surprise surprise, teammates were shattered that they walked out. I'm tipping those same teammates will be lining you up on the weekend too so best be ready.
Most new teams struggle in their first couple seasons. Most established teams make quick work of those new teams. This one could be the best and worst of those groups making this a much tighter match than it should be.
