Didn't see anyAny of the male team in attendance?
Ah. I did think it was short.The last quarter will be 10 minutes as per Collingwood Twitter
Ah. I did think it was short.
Why only 10 Minutes?
Why only 10 Minutes?
I was at the game for two quarters, and a little into the third quarter, before leaving. Some observations:
- The big screen was advertising the Australian Open, but not being used for scores. I know its a minor thing, but why do that? Some scores would help.
- A very different crowd in attendance. A lot of women, not surprisingly, and many girls who were vocal in their support. I overheard a few say they had not picked a team to follow as yet. On the east side of the ground, they easily outnumbered the men.
- The game was sluggish and slow at first, but picked up later in the first quarter and after that there were some good quick plays. The Dogs were on top pretty much throughout. Some of the marks and tackling were excellent. Handballs and kicking under pressure not so good.
- In the second quarter, near our goal square, there was some 'biffo' between one of our forwards and a Doggies defender. I didnt see who was involved, but the unsettling tactic worked. I couldnt see this clearly, but we ended up with a free kick and a goal. Smartarse husband said 'typical Collingwood, start a fight when you're losing and con the umpire into a soft free'.
- Players who stood out for me included Alicia Eva, Sarah D'Arcy, Emma King and Steph Chiocci.
So the fiddy I put on the girls to win the flag is looking good VP
