https://www.womens.afl/news/101583/sunday-teams-gun-trio-in-for-pies-bombers-name-first-gamer Sunday teams, reminder that round 2 locks out at the start of the early Sunday game
In a cracking fast paced and high scoring game (and while waiting the final scores to be tallied) it looks like the Kruisers may have overcome the Llamas 849-795, with the match going all the way to the last game with Ali Drennan scoring a superb 111 to drag the Kruisers over the line. The Llamas had some awesome scores with 4 players in the 90's (Tarni White, Emma Swanson, Emily Bates & Jasmine Garner) while Maddy Prespakis and Amy McDonald scored in the 90's for the Kruisers to keep their great start to the season going. Ripper game @hoschke118
Round 2 of the Premier League saw another week of generally 1 sided games, with the 4 away teams winning and moving to 2-0 with the others all 0-2 and still looking to open their account. The past 2 years of competition have seen dramatic turnarounds from week to week and start to finish and I fully expect the ladder to be jam-packed as usual by midseason. A quick shout-out that spots are still open for the 2022B @aflwfantasy (twitter) Knockout Challenge so if you aren’t already entered jump in and test yourself over the next 8 weeks against 63 other coaches.
