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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
