Dees had 12 inside 50s to 5. 

Controlling the match everywhere but in the forward 50. 

Have to operate better in forward zone. They are cutting it off at will. Great effort by Mcnamara. Hope she will be okay. Tyla Hanks has been fantastic.

As has Paxman. 

Mcnamara ruled out for the rest of the match. As has Adelaide's Randall. 

Both will likely miss the Grand Final if they progress.

That's a given

We are getting hands on the ball first. The pressure is being brought by us.

Paxman in everything,  Zanker looks on, Scott nearly, Hanks playing in tight.

Crows getting intercept marks in our forward line.

Second free in front of goal for Adelaide but they miss. 

Melbourne 0.2.2

Adelaide 1.1.7

First mark inside 50. Zanker kicks a behind

Melbourne 0.3.3

Adelaide 1.1.7

Weak from Downie. 

Making it so hard for ourselves. Get some composure ladies 

Another goal to Phillips

Melbourne 0.3.3

Adelaide 2.1.13

Need to kick the next one. a 3 goal lead would be very hard to reel in

Playing as bad as the Collingwood game. No flow or structure.

We're moving the ball really sluggishly and can't seem to get the ball inside 50. Not looking good for us at the moment. 

1/2 Time

Melbourne 0.3.3

Adelaide 2.1.13

Is this a situation where we need Gary Lyon to give them a rev up at half time, like when he got into Clarry's ear before Spuds Game a few weeks back?

Around the ground we have been the better side but there is no structure in the forward line. Just keep trying girls.

Quite windy, not much difference to Casey, come on girls

Their backline is beating us.

They tried to be a bit smarter with the delivery into the 50, but it didn't work.

We have our backs to the wall.

Hanks with plenty, Paxman not there in the last 8 minutes, Scott nearly, as with Zanker who missed a set shot. Not much from L. Pearce yet. Mithin, Gay and Heath ok, our backline is not dominating. 

We're not out of it. Need to get rewards for our entries.

Go Dees, hit back

Competitive performance just need to lower the ? when going inside 50.

 Call on Kayo is that Adelaide centric now on ?. These people need to get out of town occasionally.

Bannan, sadly, is not applying the required finals pressure, leaving it to others.  Our backline sans Goldie misses her energy and lacks kicking polish to safely transition.  Essentially our midfield is keeping us in it; Hanks, Paxy, Mithen, Gay, Zanker and TRex going ok.

Mick will need to weave some HT magic but without the outside run of McNamara we look comparatively slow.  Big effort girls.  C’mon Dees!

So fumbly today. 

Adelaide have a brick wall set up at their forward 50. 

Scheer Goals

Going to be very hard from here. 

Huge ask now. Not sure what Stinear can do. They need more than guts. Gotta kick a goal somehow
