Melbourne v Collingwood AFLW Match Review
By Grandpa Gawny (The Roaming Gnome)
Well, that really was worth the trip over the Ditch!!
Watching the match live to air, coldie in hand, in the comfort of the lounge room at Coffs Harbour with Merlin and Sugar, what more could a chap ask for?? Well, something less than 40 degrees C would have helped!
The W-Dees were proudly led out by “Drives Herself” (Daisy Pearce) and didn’t the girls look up and about!! With “Aunty Reg” (Mel Hickey) sporting a nice little shiner, the girls looked like right little warriors.
