This never bodes well.

Traditional Victoria Park Bell
Carrying on the tradition from our first AFL Women’s match at Victoria Park, make sure you arrive on time to hear the Traditional 1924 Victoria Park Bell ring before the match.

Not sure I've ever seen this bell, normally the Britannia bell is used.

Why do you say the cups thing never bodes well?

Why do you say the cups thing never bodes well?

We generally lose when there's prior cups on (or near) the ground prior to the match.

Ahh. And add that to I don't think we've won a round 1 game (not unlike the mens the last few years) but lets hope for better luck this year

It's worse than that, we've never won an AFLW game instead the first 3 rounds. In 2017 & 2018 our first win came in R4, 2019 it came in the last round. Hopefully the offseason shakeup changes that.

Geez. Yes, lets hope so.

Very much looking forward to this and I'll be there...... even signed up for the AFLW membership too.

I went for a kick of the footy with my dog and the ground is looking cherry ripe indeed. Well done to the grounds staff because about 4 weeks ago there was a bush fire fundraiser gig that obviously wasn't originally scheduled. After the gig the ground wasn't all that bad (was expecting ripped up turf) but the grounds staff did some sort of raking (it looked like) all over the ground. They no doubt knew what they were doing. There's a few minor blemishes up close but seriously, the turf is a delight to run and kick on.

They were marking the white lines today too.












Also the ripping out the old deteriorated seats and upgrading them in the Sherrin stand has been going on for yonks and well done to the workers too. I've been there on a Sundays and really hot weather and they have been plowing through. (and yeah Sunday is double time coz I asked them )

You can see not all seats have been replaced as yet. It's been a massive job.





CARN PIES!!!

Anyone got an idea what the team will look like?

Yep

 

[Vicky Park]

Not sure what’s happened to Ruby Schleicher. Is she still injured? Seems to be our ‘face’ of AFLW this season. Featuring heavily in Pies promotional material, social media, etc.

She’s a great girl, met her at the season launch last year. Hope we see her back soon.

 

[Vicky Park]

Excited to see the new Irish girl, Sheridan, in for the first round. She’s a forward and I like the cut of her jib. Will look out for her on Sunday.

The ground is looking superb.

Injured. Was hoping the club would ditch the ambiguous available, unavailable, etc, but it looks like we have to put up with it for at least another season.

Lambert and Davey onball! That's powerful. Love Brazill back and Molloy forward also. Gives us legitimate quality at either end. Our structure is looking much better with that quartet.

It seems Machaelia Roberts hasn't done enough for a game yet. I'm really rooting for her and hope she cracks the team soon.

Agree, Mickey Roberts has given up a lot to join us. Hopefully see her in round 2.

Heh I like it.

Yeah they started at a bit past 6pm. I heard Chloe say they were training there in her press conference.
