They certainly have covered a lot bases in terms of coverage!

    Question:

    If the Dees play the Pies at the G next week how many people will attend (some context: the 2019 AFLW GF at Adelaide Oval had aprox 50k fans)?

    Good no change, sets us for stability and cohesion. 

    Bad luck Daisy, hoping for next week.

    She will still be on the boundary, mustering them all.

    Take your opportunities. 

    Go Dees.

    We have a saying here in Ireland that ‘Semi-Finals are for winning’. So in this case it’s ‘Preliminary Finals are for winning’. 

    It doesn’t matter how you win your semi final, as long as you do as few will remember the team that loses in the semi final. It doesn’t have to be pretty or glamorous just effective. 

    Melbourne have a huge chance to reach the final and anything is possible in sport. I’ve picked up my phone the last 5 Saturday mornings to see that have Melbourne won, fingers crossed it’ll be 6.

    Our intensity and tackling pressure did for the Crows when we played them a few weeks ago. A repeat does is required today. We can’t let Adelaide off the chain at all.

    Really looking forward to the game. Win or lose these girls have been fantastic.

    I would have liked to see Daisy in the side. Even if on the bench and playing small game time. She is invaluable. Anyway girls do your best as you always do and see if can get Daisy up for next weeks Granny.

    Just back from the shops. Two teenage girls walking just ahead of me. One said how exhausted she was last night after footy training.

    Women's football is going to help Australian rules football thrive and ultimately become tbe number one sport in Australia.

    Without Women's footy that would never happen, given its competitors are international sports. 

    It is something worth keeping in mind when talk about pay comes around.

    And netball knows it.  The number of kids in my daughters netball club who now play footy as well is growing.  There is already growing pressure on young girls to choose between footy and netball, because training clashes etc.  the last netball presentation I went to at least 5-10% of the girls were wearing footy shorts as the presentation was after their footy match on a Saturday...

    Just to compare the pair fairly, tickets were free to that Grand final, in my view that inflates the numbers quite a bit, because people who are curious and think why not.

    I am going to today’s match with my wife and eldest daughter, tickets were $22 for the three of us (with juniors being free).  The last COVID matches I went to at Adelaide oval last year by comparison (men’s) were $60 and $120

    I know the AFL had frozen ticket prices for the first 2 rounds of finals.  I would be very interested to see what they do with the Grand Final.  I hope they keep prices the same and encourage as many people to go as possible.

    Now I’m feeling very conflicted. I’ll have to cheer for the pies to beat the Lions. Very discombobulating.

    yes and i also find it very confusing

    Steady rain falling here.

    Ben Gibson and Libby Birch said they were expecting fine conditions, but I think we might see a shower or two, this will favour us I’d reckon...

    The confidence going into todays's match is the consistency we have been playing with for the last 5 weeks.  They aren't up and down like the men's team.

    Nothing happening in our forward 50. It's coming straight back out again.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
