Welcome, Ash!

Why was I alerted about this thread?

 

[El_Scorcho]

What a signing! Will make an enormous difference.

 

[philthy05]

This is such a key signing for us.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Huge.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Terrific signing, adds some genuine firepower to our forward line. Ash, Gemma and if Erin is going around again, is a handy forward set up.

So happy with this one

 

[raptalia]

A good signing, hopefully there are acouple more to come.

Great to see. I know the family well. Her Mum will be happy for her but not too happy being a Crows fan. Dad will be rapt.

Ash would kick my butt in Wii Bowling. Ash was a talented basketballer to.

Must have been very nervous early. i’m betting that this shot is more typical of her set shot skills than her first one.

Ash was suspended?

 

[Marmozet]

Ash was suspended?

I hope the girl who knocked Janelle Cuthbertson’s head off was too??

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Ban upheld


Saint ban upheld at tribunal

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The Power elected to challenge the ban at the Tribunal, arguing the impact should be classified as low, rather than medium.

However the Tribunal disagreed, deeming Gunjaca's arms were pinned when she was taken to ground with force, meaning she had no ability to use her arms to reduce impact.

That doesn't demonstrate impact was medium. That's the technique not the outcome. She was fine, carried on without incident.

Not even a fine for the player who ran into Cuthbertson's head.

 

[Marmozet]

Love the girls and this team…but I absolutely hate AFLW as a competition.

 

[68vette]

I didn't think there was much in it. Looked for the umpire and then put her hand on her head. Played on.

What is our record in appeals? Must be under 10%.

 

[Marmozet]

 

[Onward To Victory]

To put this in perspective, 4 goals for the entire season won the club's leading goalkicker award for 2022!

Fair to say the photographer was looking out for Ash here moreso than poor Gemma.

Ash and Gemma seems a match winner combo, what do we need to support the two of them?
