I think Walker is ready to win this thing. Cameron was very strong in AB playdowns, they've been getting closer and this could be the one. Cheering for Einarson though, 3 in a row would be tremendous achievement. Also very interested to see how Miskew's team does. I think Flaxey would be better at skip than Emma and a better 3rd than Sarah but obviously they have made the lineup they think will succeed. As for the 2nd tier perrennial entrant who will step up and have a good week I'll go with Crawford.

Skipping we'll see but Sarah has won a Scotties at third so hard to see Flaxey better there. Sweeping maybe Sarah is better at second but we'll see who holds the broom.

Sarah Wilkes is "ambidextrous", for whatever it's worth.

She has left arm lower on the broom when sweeping on the thrower's left side.

She has right arm lower on the broom when sweeping on the thrower's right side.

The only other sweeper I know that is "ambidextrous" is Emma Miskew. If you know of any other examples, please let me know.

Miskew winning is the outcome I now want to see because it would be the most amusing. Homan loses 3 straight finals (including one she personally gave away with complete misses in both the 10th and 11th ends) and then her team finally wins without her. Also I don't think she'd mind given why she's not there.
