Few new names in there. Hopefully the girls gel together as well as last years group. The love they had for eachother and selflessness could well be rubbing off on the boys this year.
Goes a long way.

Kiara Bischa, Lily Baxter and Aisling Reidy played VFLW today at North Hobart, so they won't line up tomorrow.
Baxter didn't have a big game, but she kicked a goal.
Reidy also only had 10 possessions, but hit the scoreboard.
Live Long and Prosper!

Great 1st half from the girls.

Lead 41-8 at half time.

Lily Goss has 2 goals and is playing the best game i've seen from her.

McKay and Hill have had it 18 times each at the half, with the reduced AFLW games, they'd be on track for 50 in the mens game.
Getting a good head start from Good in the ruck.

Not many players looking at of place at the moment.

Hopefully the men are watching.

I think i jinxed us.
Only kicked 1 in the 3rd.
Saints kicked a few and started well in the last.

50-39 with 14 minutes left.
Need to stop Tyanna Smith who is dominating.

Need to lift.

Great effort by the girls. A dominant performance and we should've / could've won by more.

I didn't get to watch this one, I heard there was a player stretched off, was it our girl?

Not sure. The AFL website lists two injuries :
St Kilda : Anderson (hamstring)
Carlton : Hendrie (right ankle)

Was at the game from the start, didn't see anyone needing a stretcher, from either side.

The report I heard of a stretcher might be a confusion between the AFLW and VFLW game.
