Thanks for the heads up. Not the most dazzling listen but gave me an appreciation of her role in making the AFLW happen. We're lucky to have her in our camp.Originally Posted by monopoly19

Just read that Bella Smith has done her ACL! But turns out that the Brisbane Lions have their own Bella Smith and it's her that has sustained the injury not our own Bella Smith. Hope Bella#2 has a good recovery. And that Bella#1 has a ripper of a season!

First full practice match vs Collingwood on Saturday at Blacktown. Game will be livestreamed on Sydney Swans website.
Doing well. Level at qtr time.
Girls going great. 9 pts up at half time.
Our ruck is in impressive number 7 and the energy and team spirit seem very switched on.
There's no commentary so it's hard to pick the players but there was a really impressive handball passage leading up to our set @@@@ from in front in the second last goal of the quarter
Alley Morphett, 188cm and recruited from GWS.
Yeah I noticed her just shoving their ruck over easily.
We kept kicking it to the other team for a while and they were also marking a lot of their own kicks for a while but great to see us get the lead.
She was a standout...very impressive and I'm glad I know the name now rather than just a number. Thank you.
I thought our ground level contests were good but their kicking skills and contested marks got then the game. We found it hard to take a contested mark lowing the ball to quickly go back the other way.
It was good to see and it's just the first game. How many of our high profile draftees were out there?

At 188cm, she isn't that tall, but when so many players are around the 165cm mark, she looked like a giant on the field. Hope she continues to monster her opponents!
