Thats about the worst conditions i've seen for a game in ages.

Last quarter appears to be 'just wet' rather than 'biblical wet' like the first 3.

A couple goals in the last and it puts us 15 points up with 3 mniutes to go and you'd think thats the ball game.

Its beyond awful and never thought our once safe country would ever see crimes like this. 

Hopefully we can turn it around.

This is just the latest blow in the war against women that has been a part of our culture since the arrival of the first fleet.  If you don’t understand that, you must have your head in the sand 🙁

Not sure on what basis you determine that view but according to the accused x profile, its very clear what his views were and what made this one tick.  I see his representation is trying their luck with the MH card.

Despicable action who deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars yet if the latest sentence of one of the perpetrators for Ethan Hoac is any guide he will be out in no time. 

Ethan was randomly attacked by a western suburbs gang first hitting him with a car and then he was stabbed 30 times to death. One of the convicted killers was just sentenced to 17 years. They took potentially 70 years of life and received 17 for the act.
 
The state of our judicial system like several other things in our state is broken and why the majority have had enough of the talk without actions.

I think i made a comment the other week about how we are playing some people for development now, rather than simply putting our best 23 out on the park. This was in reference to Gab Pound being out of the side most weeks.
I'm not sure if i named anyone, but Tayla McMillan was the one that stood out at the time. Lila Keck would be similar in the past IMO.

On the flipside of that, last year i was critical of Duursma in the same way....not quite ready yet....and this year she has come on in leaps and bounds and looks a different player. Not A-grade by any means, but a genuine contributor.

Hopefully the trend continues.

Not many girls going backwards. The only ones you have question marks on are the older girls, Bohanna, Pound, Vescio etc.....and thats got nothing to do with development, but rather father time.

Our bowlers have been very good for a long time, but we no longer have the edge we had. No express bowlers in the Sheffield Shield, which doesn't help. We also have a lot of fast bowlers who are injury prone.

Our batting is also very disjointed and unreliable these days. A lot of guys are closer to the end than the start and we haven't blooded that many kids to replace them.

Our allrounders are not prospering, and a lot of the problem is that we don't seem to know how to use them. Our main bowlers bowl themselves into the ground, but the others just don't do much. We don't really know how good Green's bowling is, for example, because he only gets a couple of overs. That is not the way to develop his bowling.
