Just watched the interview with Alison Downie on the website, what an absolutely beautiful natured woman.

My daughter and I are heading down to Vic Park today. Go Pies!

Watching from home again. Nice to see Nicky Winmar is in attendance.

Really good start.

Hope Sabrina can start to kick a few. Saw something on her at the start of the broadcast, is her partner pregnant?

HALFTIME:

Pies 4.4. (28 )

Saints 0.1. (1)

Just realised Steph Chiocci was a late out, I thought that might have been the case as I'd noticed I hadnt heard her name called out.

Who is the captain today??

3QT:

Pies 5.5. (35)

Saints 0.2 (2)

Would have liked to keep them goaless, but the Saints finally get one.

Would have been nice to keep them goaless, but it's probably better for the comp to see competitive scores, and not to have teams go 4 quarters without a goal.

Fowler with a head knock. Will probably miss next week.

Imogen Barnett been hit hard now. Ribs? Dont think it's a head knock. She's walking off the ground now.

Saints kick 2 in the last Q to our 1. We creamed them all day until the last Q when the job was already done.

FINAL:

Pies 6.5. (41)

Saints 2.2. (14)

My BOG: Britt Bonnici, Lambert, Sheridan.

Positive game from Frederick, had she kicked those two goals, would be in BOG's. 13 disposals is a good effort for FF. O'Dea again showing good signs. Rowe also had a really good game.

Steph Chiocci late out due to Achilles tightness, old age according to her twitter.

Brit Bonnicci was captain today.

Was at the game, great day for footy, a bit humid in the 1st qtr though.
Smaller than usual crowd. Like with everything, some people not going out - although Bodriggy and Mr Morse were both pretty full.

Thought the midfield did well in the absence of Bri.
Backline was great, Stacey ever reliable and having Lauren & Jordy back really helps.

Still a bit of work to do in decision making as there were a few times each qtr. when handpasses went to players under the pump.

Good debut by Imogen Barnett, no goals but she presented as a target up forward. Probably needs to work on holding overhead marks but she is not alone there.

And great snap goal by Mikayla. Was sitting near her mum & grandmother in the Sherrin Stand and they were very happy with goal.

COLLINGWOOD 3.3 4.4 5.5 6.5 (41)

Next game is this Friday vs Geelong at GMBHA Stadium.

Nice dominating win great 3 quarters fell a bit to sleep in the 4th quarter defence was rock solid all day long last quarter though made too many turnovers in middle of the ground with those short handballs.
Did well and a wins a win
Put the game away early and won easy.
We do the same we will beat the cats at kardina
We have a very favourable draw this season plenty of matches at Vic park
