Dreamtime in Darwin tonight, will be the only AFLW game I watch this year

3/9 umpires are all ex NTFLUA so good to watch some old colleagues do their work.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Right, team selections tonight for Adelaide v Collingwood and it feels like a long time since we've had footy to talk about.

So it's looking like Dan McStay out, for Mason Cox. Am I missing something here?

Agreed, I'd think they've gone with the height to stretch Adelaide in defence. Keane and Worrall are very good with the body early, Cox doesn't engage and tries to jump at the ball. Something different in their forward half that had lots of opportunity to score last time they were here and didn't make the most of it.
