Last post by crashlander -We won. Carlton 11.10 Richmond 3.3.
Big games from Abbie McKay, Dayna Finn ... in fact, all of our mids. Lauren Bella improved in the ruck, but didn't get much of it. A step forward.

Last post by Lods -We wouldn't do the same if the opportunity presented itself...but we're usually a week ahead.
At this stage of the year it would be about both codes maximising their viewership...especially for their most important games.
They don't want to get into a contest for viewers.
V'landys's focus extends beyond Australia.
He wants the 20 teams...
But he's looking to conquer the World

Last post by LP -The NRL has always claimed it outrates the AFL, gets bigger crowds, more viewers, earn bigger dollars, bigger sponsors, etc., etc.. in particular Vlandys has been a champion in the best style of Trump. FWIW, he's done much the same with NSW horse racing trying to go head to head with the VRC.
Tonight the NRL will play a prelim, broadcast on Channel 9, Sunday afternoon they play another prelim, broadcast on Channel 9. Vlandys had the golden opportunity to go head to head with the AFL on the AFL's marquee day and he blinked.
It's always best to never ask a question unless you know the answer, but it might be even better to never ask a question when you do!
Vlandys is about as genuine as a boxing match between Paul Gallen and Nelson Asofa-Solomona!

Last post by crashlander -Our line-up:
B: 21 Harriet Cordner 49 Madeline Hendrie
HB: 36 Ciara Fitzgerald 14 Siofra O'Connell 1 Amelia Velardo
C: 11 Yasmin Duursma 4 Claudia Whitfort 17 Dayna Finn
HF: 10 Mimi Hill 7 Poppy Scholz 25 Keeley Sherar
F: 35 Nell Morris-Dalton 19 Erone Fitzpatrick
R: 12 Jessica Good 26 Tayla McMillan 5 Abbie McKay
Int: 24 Brooke Vickers 20 Lily Goss 2 Lauren Bella 55 Sophie McKay 13 Aisling Reidy
Em: 8 Lily Baxter 42 Tara Bohanna 30 Kiara Bischa
[1] Keck out injured. We will miss her; she's been good this season. Bohanna has been dropped and is struggling at the moment. Maybe age is catching up with her? I hope not, as she has been good since she came down from Gold Coast. She hasn't been holding her marks of late.
[2] Nice to see Tayla McMillan get her chance. She is small, but was impressive in the U18's last year.
[3] Injury has certainly made a difference to us; we've had a lot of girls starting late and clearly missing match fitness. Sophie McKay is just the most obvious example. With Bree Harrington missing to have her baby, we needed Lauren Bella to stand up. Instead, she's missed most of the season and looks a little off the pace. Hope she can get her act together sooner rather than later.

Last post by Milhanna13 -49ers embraced it - be good to have them here again. One of their media pack has you tube of trying Australian foods - he didn't like tomato sauce, but liked Vegemite.
that journo is awesome. he has kept following and commenting on the footy, even since he went home. he made a comment, about the bris/hawks game that "you americans dont know what you are missing out on"... he's adopted dangerfield as his hero and is full on giving hot takes on the afl, after going to 1 game and watching a couple on the teev. its great content
