Daniel Day Lewis is outrageous in this. It’s a shame that Judi Dench is only around for the opening act. It’s funny, it’s lavish, and even though George is the most white bread looking man anyone could fall in love with in Italy, that checks out because she’s British! Carry on ol’ chap! #filmsky

I watched A Room With a View tonight. Spiffing! Pitch perfect English accents on people galavanting around Italy and country England. It may be the most beautiful looking film I have ever seen. Watching Helena Bonham Carter play piano is more than enough. #film #filmsky #movie

That round 4 game saw Emma Kearney run absolutely rabid for 630m gained from 25 kicks and the goat Brooke Lockland kicked 7.3. We received pick 26 in compensation for losing her (and others) after that season. THAT is how North Melbourne have built a dynasty. The afl has built the narrative. #aflw

This is the Western Bulldogs' highest score since RD4 2018, and their second-highest score ever. Still five minutes to play. #AFLWSunsDogs

Can confirm this past four weeks is the best goal return the club has had in ten seasons. 53 goals so far this season is the best goal total the club has had in the history of the competition. All aboard the pup train. 🚂 🐶 #aflw

We’ve kicked 35 goals in four weeks which may or not be the greatest goal return this club has had in the ten seasons this competition has operated. 72 points today is the highest under Hyett. Keen to see how many misses were gettable, I wonder if we could have kicked a team best ever. #aflw

Stephenson is playing so well she has 3 contested possessions but only two disposals for the qtr lmao. How is that possible? Uh oh, I don’t know if a possession is a disposal?! #aflw

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 6h

Suns might be winning the makes overall but the pups have taken 6 marks inside 50 to 1. That honestly could be a season high. #aflw

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 6h

It’s close in the team stats but Gold Coast have double our marks and we are annihilating in the contested possessions and tackle count. #aflw

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 6h

Second straight game we’ve held a team goal less in the opening 3 quarters (the Mua effect). Our midfield unit looks to be on fire again today. Fitzy, Pritchard and Blackburn accumulating a lot of it. #aflw

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 6h

Elle Bennetts time high 5 inside 50s and second for metres game. Adding to a really consistent and professional season from the veteran. I really hope she plays on as her form has been excellent. #aflw

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 6h

I thought Lou Stephenson was lucky to keep her place today after some quiet weeks and today she has 9 kicks so far! Second to only Britta for the team. #aflw

You know you’re obsessed when you’re following a game via the summary page on the AFLW app. We’re pouring on the goals now. I can’t wait to watch the replay when it’s uploaded! #aflw

Another game where there isn’t radio or anything but pay tv coverage for the AFLW. Cool. #aflw

Their defence is their calling card (lots of quick footed lateral movement from their players) but the half court offence is desperate for crisper ball movement and a little more dare. Sharp and Holmes saved a lot of half court sets with wonderful foot work. Shelley needs to be assertive. #wnbl

4th qtr. A game of runs but the veteran presence of the previously mentioned Flames players was such a difference. Jaz Shelley was flustered all game and forced poor shots or sped up when she needed to slow down. Geelong didn’t let up until the whistle, great effort. #wnbl

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 1d

3rd qtr. All game Froling was hitting high-lows passes to girls who would seal out their defender under the basket. She was awesome. Nicholson was defended hard all game but didn’t get flustered nor did she ever take it down from 5th gear. McSpadden’s energy was infectious. #wnbl

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 1d

2nd qtr. The Pili injury destroyed Geelong’s defensive alertness. They gave up second chance points and struggled with cuts and the break in play really rocked them. I was surprised looking at the box score that they scored so few but it was a sloppy qtr. #wnbl

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 1d

Once Rotunno was introduced (8 asts, 0 to) they were able to at least get down the floor. The energy and movement from both teams was high. Sydney executed a little better and Geelong bricked some free throws. The Rotunno change needed to happen way sooner than waiting til your down 16. #wnbl

Richard @rwillho.bsky.social · 1d

1st qtr. Geelong didn’t set up to counter any full court pressure on Shelley from the get go. Girls would run up the floor to get into starting positions in sets and not even turn to face the play to see if they would be needed as an outlet pass. The coach needed to address way earlier. #wnbl

There is such a wholesome atmosphere at women’s sports events. We had a group of children try and egg us to start a Mexican wave with them but we failed miserably. Geelong’s atmosphere was awesome and I’ll definitely go again. They had live snakes at the arena lmao. Gosh I hope they are ok. #wnbl

Going to the WNBL opener in Geelong tonight. Will definitely be posting some ramblings about it here.

Woof! I’m a little surprised with this one. Incidental surely but it was careless all the same and head contact. I guess it’s ok because Prespark was able to play on?

Isabelle Pritchard has escaped suspension for her high elbow on Maddy Prespakis. #AFLW
