Van Dyke Brown's another one who deserves praise.

Another one who played well.

Mia has missed the past 2 game's even though seemed pretty solid down back.


She's still at school, so VCE looming might have something to do with her absence.

2-3 week shoulder injury while she's doing her VCE exams. Tricky!

Mia suffered a shoulder injury last week at training. She will now start rehab to strengthen the joint but will miss an estimated two to three weeks.

3-4 weeks away with a stress fracture in her hip.

Per last week's injury report:

Van Dyke is recovering from a stress fracture but is increasing her running volume following her first run last week.

“Mia is a more long-term injury, so we will continue to work through her rehabilitation plans to see her towards the back end of the season.”

wtf is a scrimmage match

Essendon defender Mia Van Dyke has hit a key milestone in her recovery from a stress injury to her hip.

The 18-year-old will transition to full training this week and has the potential to play in the team’s scrimmage match.

Head of Medical Services Megan Smith said Van Dyke’s progress is a credit to her diligent rehab.

“It’s fantastic to see Mia back out on the track and getting amongst training again,” Smith said.

“She’s worked incredibly hard throughout her rehab to ensure every box is ticked from a medical perspective.

“Given she gets through training this week, Mia should be in line to play in this weekend’s scrimmage.”

Informal practice match. At least that's how we use it in ice hockey.

 

[Lore]

so its either match sim or a reserves thing to help maintain fitness and push for selection if you're not playing seniors in round 3....

They group together with a couple of other teams to get enough players together to play some match simulation as a way of making up for the fact that there isn't any reserves football.

That's horrendously bad planning on behalf of the AFL and makes it really difficult for the girls outside the 21 to break into the side.

Remember, as far as the AFL is concerned they don't need games in the AFLW, let alone a support comp

We have VFLW it just runs at a different time of year, which is the daft part. Don't even need to fund anything extra, just line it up
