In all honesty, we are better off not winning this one.

Even if we beat them now, we'd come up against them in the Grand Final anyway and would try and catch lightning twice.

Better yet, we try a few things, but get through the game unscathed. Save some things up our sleeve for the Grand Final rematch should we get there.

It is about our best lineup possible.

Maybe Tayla McMillan swapped out for someone else.
Bohanna must surely be done with. Not even on the emergency list.

None of this strategic losing garbage in case you can only beat them once.

Thats a losers mentality.   Winning is winning.  If you can beat them now, you can beat them in the big one. If you cant win now, the belief in the final may not be there.

Our line-up:

B:   21 Harriet Cordner   49 Madeline Hendrie
HB:   8 Lily Baxter   36 Ciara Fitzgerald   14 Siofra O'Connell
C:   19 Erone Fitzpatrick   20 Lily Goss   17 Dayna Finn
HF:   55 Sophie McKay   7 Poppy Scholz   25 Keeley Sherar
F:   35 Nell Morris-Dalton   3 Darcy Vescio
R:   12 Jessica Good   10 Mimi Hill   5 Abbie McKay
Int:   6 Gabriella Pound   11 Yasmin Duursma   1 Amelia Velardo   26 Tayla McMillan   2 Lauren Bella
Em:   24 Brooke Vickers   13 Aisling Reidy   23 Lila Keck

[1] Hendrie and Good are good 'ins'. Lila Keck ... not quite 100%? On the other hand, we'll miss Whitfort, who has been very good this year.

[2] North are huge favourites: it would be nice to ruin their parade! Can't see it: we're not playing anywhere near our best of late.

[3] Our depth: we don't appear to have as much depth as some of our foes. We do miss Bohanna as a key forward. Not sure what is going to happen with her.

Old mates Paddy and Liam are standing at the bar of their local enjoying a couple of pints of Guiness.

Paddy:  How long have you been married now Liam?

Liam:  Coming up for 35 years.  How about you?

Paddy: We've been married for over 36 years now.

Liam:  36 years!  Do you still enjoy a bit of the old rumpy pumpy?

Paddy:  After 36 years! No, not any more.  How about you Liam?

Liam:  Yes, we get stuck in three or four times a week.

Paddy:  Three or four times a week after nearly 35 years; that's phenomena!

Liam:  Well, I'll let you into a secret Paddy.  I do take viagra.

Paddy:  Viagra! Can you get it over the counter?

Liam:  I could if I took two tablets!

Divinyls - I Touch Myself
Did you watch the recent two part ABC Doco, excellent biography of Chrissie.

I never knew Little Pattie (Patricia Thelma Amphlett)) and Chrissie were related.

No, I haven't watched it yet, but I recently saw Sheridan Harbridge's "Amplified: The Exquisite Rock and Rage of Chrissy Amphlett".  It's a brilliant caberet that brings parts of Chrissie's life back to the stage.  As Sheridan says, she doesn't have Chrissie's voice or legs and is more Chrissie Pamphlett than Amphlett, but she still manages to convey Chrissie's energy and pathos.

Chrissie was usually introduced as Little Pattie's cousin at the start of her career.
