[Lore]

[Lore]

Bannister will also line up in the Bombers' inaugural team, with the Tasmanian joining the club from North Melbourne.

A talented forward, Bannister spent most of her first three seasons at AFLW level on the sidelines, having to overcome multiple injuries.

Over the past two seasons, Bannister has played 21 games, taking her career total to 25, establishing a strong presence up forward and regularly hitting the scoreboard.

Five more to don the sash

Five more players commit in another coup for the Bombers' AFLW program.

Dammit!

Dammit!

Wait, WTF?

She didn't even slam her....that's ridiculous.

Chiocci got one match for the throat hit retaliation too

That was worse than the tackle, but not worth a week either. Imagine if either decision happened in the mens game after a preliminary final?

I think the policy is a bit different because they don’t earn as much, so it preferences match penalties over financial sanctions. But idk if that’s exactly still the case given Katie Brennan contested it a while ago

 

[Lore]

Oooh contesting it at the tribunal Mr Mojo Risin

Yes I saw that, I probably should have replied to you!!

looking at the list of sanctions earlier, there were a bunch of $400 and $700 fines. So the financial sanctions are there, no idea if they have a different threshold though

Anyone else get triggered by seeing the name Sarah Black there?

Yeah I think they're pro rata

 

[Lore]

Now deliberating

 

[Lore]

Was upheld in the end.



Which means the club cops a tribunal loser fee

 

[Lore]

Oh and delayed concussion apparently:



Which makes me wonder why they're bothering to contest Chiocci's suspension, since she'll miss the next game anyway

 

[yodellinhank]

Huge out. She's been in our top 3 most important players I'd say.

Presumably Fede Frew gets a second chance, not ideal circumstances though. Also Vogt has to come back in so might be a straight replacement, although they’re slightly different players (there’s also the opportunity to rotate with Tierney). Will make a preview thread tomorrow

Wet and windy weather, off balance, barely has control of the ball and under pressure, in the pocket, facing the wrong way… and yet

She was in beast mode for a bit there

She was in beast mode for a bit there

Came in to post exactly that. So hard at the footy, especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Low centre of gravity does her favours.

 

[Maddogm]

Lore says I have to post that I've picked Daria in the My girl draft
