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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
