Got to see the 2nd half of the game.
3rd quarter the Pies seems to take it easy and allowed Darebin a bit to much freedom on the wings & easy marks. Coach was also moving the team around as Stacey Livingstone was playing at FF and kicked a goal.
Normal service resumed in the 4th with the Pies upping their tackling pressure and able to clear the ball from the centre into the forward line.

Nice afternoon for footy followed by a late lunch at Barry in High St.

Pies will finish the season as minor premiers (again).

2 H&A rounds were scheduled to be played pre lockdown.
At this stage the plan is to still play these games however this will be reviewed in accordance with govt. guidelines.

Even if games do get played do not expect many of the AFLW listed girls will play.
AFLW preseason scheduled to start in September this year and there is a mandated 6 week break before preseason. Not sure how this will affect players who have been playing in the VFLW team most of the season.

COLLINGWOOD
48 points (twelve wins, zero losses), 270.7 per cent
Collingwood made the minor premiership its own for the third season in a row with a 12th straight win before the enforced break. The Pies have appeared in the last two finals series, going all the way in 2019, and will have the opportunity to try and do it again this season. They face two good tests in the final two rounds, coming up against second placed Geelong and a Bulldogs side that needs wins to secure a finals spot.

The run home
R13: Western Bulldogs @ Holden Centre
R14: Geelong @ Victoria Park

Win no. 13 for the girls.
