Hello DB and happy new season to you... again.

We've just played Carlton in the AFL, the VFL teams have an elimination final coming up and the AFLW teams are about to kick off a new season against each other.

Get to this one Pies fans.

[Dark Beanie]

Thanks Presti.
At least there will be 2 of us here 🙂

Even though I am not a big fan of the timing of this season, I have my tickets for all our home games.

Looking forward to see the team develop, new roles for some players and new players in the group.

BTW noticed that Ash Brazil was on the latest playing list. There was a query about her playing after Comm Games but she will add experience to the group (on and off the field).

Welcome back Jordan Membrey, first game since her ACL injury last year. She did play a few fames for the VFLW this year but this is her 1st AFLW game.

No Mikayla Cann (calf injury), will miss her speed around the ground.

Should win but the first game is a bit of an unknown with only a couple of practice matches. Blues will be pumped to win at home and get some revenge for Sunday.

No Sarah Rowe either. I think she's suspended, right?

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Who’s going I am but don’t think much will be there be like say 6 thousand if that more like 3 thousand won’t be many there
It’s a Thursday night
Work the next day that kind of thing
Should have played this Saturday afternoon

[Dark Beanie]

Yes, Sarah Rowe suspended.
Forgot about that as the report was from the Pies final game, last season.
