I didn't give Kerry a set plan. She is a good coach and you only had 8 so I didn't feel it was so important to spell it out to her. I wanted her to feel that she was actually coaching, not just babysitting. I did have a couple of small requests for her, like put Jodi in centre for a quarter, and if possible give Jodi a full game! But I still left the final decision up to her. Leaving you in WA for three quarters was all her idea, so you must have been doing well! Yes I love her too…but she drives me crazy too!

Drove me crazy the first half of the game (love her, just don't find her easy to play with). She played Centre for the first quarter (I remember because she kept passing way too wide for me in WA and the ball kept going out). Then WA second quarter (while I was in Centre). I think she played WD last quarter - I was surprised with that one because I thought I'd either be off (having played 3/4) or in WD (knowing A had played 3/4 there). I assumed you'd done the positions before you left. Playing WA for 3/4 probably helped because I felt like I was finally starting to get my head in the position by the final quarter (kept putting myself in a better position for backing up - and it actually worked lol). And you ARE key players. And Steph is still my favourite Centre to play with. :) Emma? Drove me crazy the first half of the game (love her, just don’t find her easy to play with).

You know I did tell Kerry that you did a great job in centre during training. I gave her a little list of notes on all my "kids" telling her who plays best where. So glad you got a full game, I was hoping that would happen. I have to admit that I didn't expect her to keep you out of your comfort zone for the whole game! I thought she might let you have one quarter in wing defence! Where did she put Emma? I know without even asking Kerry that you did a fabulous job. So proud of you!
