Any news on Van Dyke?

Any news on Van Dyke?

Just confirmed, she's done an ACL.

Season over for Van Dyk

Jayde Van Dyk has been ruled out for the remainder of the year after scans confirmed a season-ending ACL injury from Sunday’s game.

Another two Saints in the team of the week.

 

[Saint_Dos]

Hoping we might see a debut from J'Noemi this weekend.
Other options would be Richards or Jolliffe at a guess.
Cant see Nalder or Burke coming in.
Not sure where Matthews is at?

Yeah it's tough to gauge where they're at without a concurrent reserves comp.
Anderson looks quite a unit, tackles hard like White does by the sounds.
Jolliffe might be the most like for like with Van Dyk out.
Nalder sound like a quality person, probably would've had a shot if McKinnon hadn't started as well as she has as solo ruck.
Yeah who knows? I back Dal with where we're heading.

 

[St Plugger]

Pinch a win here against one of the top tier teams and the girls will be well underway for a good season!

Love the new Indigenous guernsey, designed by Bailey Mifsud.

Call to hold minute’s silence before AFLW match ‘insensitive’: Western Bulldogs

The Bulldogs have described the AFL’s mandated minute’s silence to honour Queen Elizabeth II immediately after the Acknowledgement of Country ceremony and before Friday night’s Indigenous round match as “insensitive”.

Am I reading this correctly, the clubs have cancelled a minute silence for the Queen?

The AFL said they cancelled it after feedback from clubs due to the insensitivity with it being Indigenous round. The person who was going to perform yesterdays welcome to country backed out because of the minute silence so they didn't want that to continue all weekend.

But the clubs are saying they didn't ask for it to be cancelled, instead offered suggested to move it to a different part of the pre game and it was the AFL who decided to cancel it completely.

What a great way to bring people together

They've lost the plot, have to be bigger than this. How disrespectful by the game. Have some class.

 

[BrutThough]

This will be one of our toughest challenges all year.

Hoping we can keep it close while still attempting that outside ball movement we've gone for the past 2 games.

 

[BrutThough]

Not the best start.

 

[The Jack]

Kelli Underwood. FMD. Volume straight off.

 

[BrutThough]

I don't think we've had a clean disposal yet. Melbourne don't allow you to have any time.

 

[St Kilda Death]

Looks like it’s gonna be a long arvo!

 

[Fehring]

Poor composure. Patrikios lays a fantastic tackle at half back and one of our players takes the advantage when we're kicking against the wing and are under seige.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Game over

 

[St Kilda Death]

Naarm: well organised, intense but cool headed.
Saints: panicked.

I don’t think they were ready for this challenge after a couple of soft opponents.

Hopefully Dal can calm them and swing a couple of moves.
It’s surely out of hand now. Just try and chip away at the margin so it’s less embarrassing.

 

[St Kilda Death]

Game over

 

[Munga]

I was hoping that we'd bring a little physicality and mongrel to make it a scrap. But we can't compete with the bodies, toughness and class or the Demons, and we went into our shells early. They're too good.

We can't even tackle them.

They are just a completely different level.

Yeah they get a metre and then we can't get near them. They're making us look soft. They're sticking knees into our ribs and we're letting them push us around and stumbling over our own feet. It's like watching the senior school vs junior school.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

kicking too high into 50. gives the opposition too much time to get back and cut it off
