Gonna drag my mum along. The Essendon men's game is the night before and she lives semi-regional, so if it's one or the other for her I'm actually going to take her to the AFLW prelim - first ever AFLW final played at the G - I mean come on! Gotta be there.

The men will play Essendone a billion times again.

I’ve been working on the broadcast for AFLW all season, and both sadly and happily will be working on this game as well. The team has been in a clear upper echelon of the competition so I’m hoping they bring that on the day. There’s a part of me that wishes it was at Casey for the fact it’s a fortress of ours, MCG is a neutral venue. The Lions are a very good team as well but hopefully Harris pulls out a massive game against her old club.

It’s free entry so everyone get there, they are a part of us and they’ll be counting on loud Dees fans that missed out on last years mens premiership to help them get over the line and into the Granny!

Free tickets available today:  AFLW Members, 2:00pm (local) | General Public 4:00pm (local).

I also would have preferred Casey as it is our fortress.

Casey is an MCG sized ground.  Anyone know how The Gabba size compares to the MCG?

Your question piqued my interest, so I googled and up pops a 2017 demonland thread, haha!

According to that

Thanks DIO. 

Not much advantage for us then.  Maybe the Home crowd will get our dees over the line.  And 🤞Freo do the Crows.

Only slightly over 12 hours between games at the G -

is there a sleepover at the G package available??

Bit of a shame we aren’t playing later that evening, what an epic day of footy that could’ve been for Dees fans!!!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
