HoLo - QFAW Match Preview
Andrew Thomson
It’s finals eve as the Magpies host Morningside in the final game of the regular season from 4:45PM.
Last time these two teams met, a Brisbane rainfall record was set and it was Sherwood who came from behind to secure the win courtesy of a Tina Higginson running goal in the final minutes.
While a top spot finish is available with a win, Sherwood will be careful to not take any opponent lightly and will be eager to keep the focus on doing the little things well to get the job done this week.
On debut this week is Bailey Elder who has earned selection the hard way after joining the team midway through the season, training the house down each week and playing on permit for Moorooka and North Shore in a great show of her dedication and selfless attitude. Bailey is not afraid to win the contested football and will look to play an important role rotating across the half forward and wing.
Also returning to the team this week from injury, Covid19 isolation and work commitments are; Jess Stallard, Jess Power, Jess Blakey and Tui Sinclair.
Keep an eye out for midfielder Samara Mahoney who has been absolutely ruthless with her contested ball winning ability and dynamic clearance work.
