The Sports Desk / Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread
Reckon their rest Boland for the Boxing Day Test and play Neser.

Cummins in for Boland, Lyon in for Doggett, and have Webster in for Inglis. After McSweeney's unbeaten double hundred for Australia A, on top of recent good form, I thought he may have made the squad.

Loved to have played Richardson but I don't think playing 2 fast bowlers lacking match practice is a great idea, despite Richardson ripping through England A on day  1.

Shame about those junk time goals, but a super effort by the girls. Doing the club and supporters proud. Pretty decent turnout from what I could tell on the TV.

Best of luck next week against a formidable opponent.
Yes, very formidable and in Brisbane. Prefer that to playing North.

We are playing well enough to make the GF. Pity then we may make it again then play someone near unbeatable. Happened the first time we made the GF and might happen again. Be nice to get there though.

Looks like the Hawks next week coming up. They beat us by 4 pts in round 2. Hopefully back to back demoralise North thrashings have sapped them.

We've only had the 2 stinkers this year. One was just run of the mill as North does it to everyone.

Be nice to make a PF.

If we win week 1 we are going to Brisbane. No way Brisbane is getting close to North. No one is getting close.

Just looked at North's final percentage. Friggen 321.5 %!
Actually, we play West Coast again next week but this time in Melbourne. I forgot the Lions still had to play today.

Should win and play Hawthorn week 2, as they won't be beating North. Two last round games that will repeat 1st week of finals.

Carlton 12 - 9 - 81
GWS 5 - 5 - 35
 We're up to 5th. Still, we do need to beat the Weagles.

Good to see Maddy Guerin come back to a bit of form: 24 possessions, 10 tackles, 5 clearances.
Dayna Finn: BOG: 30 possessions, 8 tackles, 8 clearances.
Lilly Goss: 22 possessions, 12 tackles and 1 goal.

Will need to win as all the sides below us down to 9th have games they should win.

Didn't come out switched on after the lightning break. We let them kick 2 goals, their only 2 goals. We lead 68-14. Prior to the delay we led 67-3.  Percentage will be very important getting into the 8.

Seriously! Our girls are as girls are as dumb as dog poo.

Should have got a goal but dropped a simple mark then they go up and get one from a dumb error from our defender. They've kicked 3 goals, 2 from charity donations from our defenders.
