Thanks, Pies4.

The women did very well today. Great beating Richmond.

What a great start to the season. A real test next week when we play friggin' North Melbourne.

Go Pies.

Brittany (3rd, 25 votes) and Brianna (9th, 16 votes) are both in top 10 total votes in the comp. Ruby Schleicher is not far behind, on 14.

How is it that Alishia Sheridan didn't get in the votes? She is a gun up forward for Collingwood.
I'm starting to get to appreciate the Women's footy a bit more in the absence of the men's being played. I think Collingwood has put a good team together in the women's comp with Ruby Schleicher another gun with her run and disposal from halfback and the on-ball strength of Davey, Bonnici and Lambert. Then there is Chloe Molloy, the Jordan DeGoey of the woman's team!
It's good to follow while the men's comp is still warming up and a pleasure to see girls simply loving the opportunity to play and the joy they get from winning.

Bonnici 31 disposals, Davey 25, Lambert 25, Conti (Rich) 25, Brennan (Rich) 17 (with 13 kicks and 5 marks - at CHF), Schleicher 17 (from the half-back line) probably explains why Sheridan (6 kicks, 4 handballs, 2.1) was ranked behind the others.

Agree with the coaches votes.
Aishling Sheridan kicked 2 goals but it was on the back of the work done by the mids and backline.

Davey and Lambert are proven performers but the continued improvement of Bonnici and Schleicher is great.
