Now that was an inappropriate hijacking of the welcome to country!

Can't understand why the media hasn't picked up on it. .Whether you support WtC or not, that was simply a 3 minute political announcement, nothing more nothing less. Totally inappropriate!

Amazing turnaround from last year to this year. Well done to the ladies, onwards and upwards.

For completions sake.

Vescio finished with 7 disposals.
Only possession after half time was another kick in.

3 turnovers, 1 clanger (probably holding the ball free)
Still 100% disposal efficiency.

Sad end really to what was a pretty good season. Brisbane were unrelenting.

I - for one - and sick and tired of losing to Brisbane 😤

Plan A for 2026: Beat Brisbane often.

What an incredible Test match!

Wonderful bowling from Starc and Boland, and a decent effort from Doggett, got us back in with a chance.

Khawaja’s crook back worked to our advantage and Travis Head was brilliant. Not only did he set up victory with his remarkable century but he dragged Marnus along in his wake and the latter finally seems to have rediscovered the form of his early career.

Cricket Australia might forego projected revenue but I think we have some exciting and unpredictable Test matches to come. I would take a day 2 win over a day 5 draw every time 🙂

3rd quarter was a disaster.
But we will be back.

This team exceeded everyones expectations.
A few older players, but most of the talent are the younger girls coming through.
We appear to be a destination club with at least 3 players already nominating us for 2026.

We are trending in the right direction, which not much above us.
