15:05 on Sunday at home. We will be the favourites.
Team as yet indeterminate, but here is what we know:
B: 1 Amelia Velardo 49 Madeline Hendrie
HB: 14 Siofra O'Connell 21 Harriet Cordner 36 Ciara Fitzgerald
C: 17 Dayna Finn 19 Erone Fitzpatrick 11 Yasmin Duursma
HF: 25 Keeley Sherar 7 Poppy Scholz 23 Lila Keck
F: 4 Claudia Whitfort 42 Tara Bohanna
R: 12 Jessica Good 10 Mimi Hill 5 Abbie McKay
Int: 6 Gabriella Pound 20 Lily Goss 24 Brooke Vickers 8 Lily Baxter 22 Brooke Boileau 55 Sophie McKay 35 Nell Morris-Dalton 13 Aisling Reidy
3 girls in, none out as yet.
Gab Pound out for Brooke Vickers.
Good win by the girls and the six goal margin probably reflects the state of both teams.
Yasmin Duursma is really starting to realise her potential and did some nice things. I'm glad that we persevered with her.
The commentators mentioned that was our ninth consecutive win at Princes Park so we may be building a decent home ground advantage. I guess that means the AFL will shift the finals to another venue ::)
Missing a few, but still came away with a good win.

We weren't bad in the first half, but we fumbled and dropped marks that I would prefer we didn't. After the break, well, that was more like it.
Next week we play North at Arden St. :(
I wonder if the club has thought of getting Poppy Scholz to work with Brodie Kemp on his kicking for goal. She has a relaxed, no nonsense routine and kicks through the ball really well.
In fact, the field and goal kicking in the AFLW seems to have gone up a notch this season, particularly with the distance the girls are now kicking.
Just finished watching this, fathers day duties called.
Happy to get a big win, kicking 10 goals without both Sophie and Darcy in the side.
One of only 3 teams undefeated......and we play the other 2 in the next 2 weeks. Kangas, then Dees.
Kangas haven't been beaten in what.......2.5 years??
Lets see how well we go there, will very much determine our hopes for the year.
Absolutely agree -
It has markedly improved
Have a feeling we will beat North next week!
