GAMEDAY: AFLW Preliminary Final vs Brisbane Lions

[Whispering_Jack 30,036]

It’s our Women’s turn now. 

A do-or-die Preliminary Final!!’

We should be playing at Casey as the G is too neutral which will aid the bears. Casey has been a fortress.

No l disagree. The MCG will be our home ground from next year and need to start building home ground advantage. It would not surprise me if the girls became curtain raisers at the G for some games next year although l know they are resisting. The economics just make sense as does full integration to make little difference b/w the girls and boys teams. Good for supporters too!

I'm super nervous.

Brisbane are very tough opponents. It will require a huge effort from the girls today to win

3 week break not ideal. Playing at the G, while fantastic for the womens game and a great opportunity to showcase our team, disadvantages us. Casey has been our fortress

It's a 50/50 game but this team has plenty of heart and guts. I reckon they'll get the job done ..just

Go Dees 

[Cards13 9,117]

Come on Dees here is hoping for a win and another step closer to our second premiership in such a short space of time.

[58er 6,425]

Yes it's a real debate Casey our home ground advantage but I can't help thinking about the great footy ( against admittedly an under strength Freo) on the big stage at Optus.

Let's be positive and this gritty and resourceful team can win no matter what. Belief is high and confidence also.

Go Dees your inspiration are our mighty 2021 male heroes. 

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Apologies for the negativity but I think Brisbane will be too good for us - too quick, skilled and even across the park. On the plus side last week I also predicted that Sam Weideman had played his last game for the AFL side so what do I know. 

[Fork 'em 6,983]

Well I'm feeling another flag coming on.
Season has panned out very similarly to the men last year.
Go get it girls.

[Pates 9,660]

This is a last minute call out to Dees fans on the fence about going today. Please get there, the girls have had a great year and deserve to have a big Dees crowd for them. 

[Chook 15,012]

Gonna be some rough weather today by the look. Unfortunately I’m expecting a pretty poor crowd as a result. I’m gonna suffer through it though to be a part of history and see the girls scrub a mighty win in the wet.

I am talking about us winning a prelim final. Casey is better. Backsides on seats or looking for next year is irrelevant.

Since when is the MCG going to be the girls home ground from next year. First I have heard of it.

[BDA 22,743]

Horrible weather. Should have brought my umbrella.

[Meggs 595]

BOM saying 10% chance of rain…well Meggs is feeling a few sprinkles already.  It’s also quite blustery in here.  Nothing like the Optus Stadium conditions of Round 9.   

ps the PA is most certainly working….

Unfortunately I'm away for weekend but it would be good to have been there. I hope the girls win.

I'd love to see Daisy win a flag & hold the cup up. 

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

I’m really nervous (more so than last night), but over the journey I reckon we’ve earned a Grand Final berth.

[BDA 22,743]

Colvin playing well 

[BDA 22,743]

Goals will be a rarity today 

[DubDee 25,848]

You get excellent value out of a first goal scorer bet in the ladies footy

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Holds ball for ages in tackle after a fend off, drops ball, no decision… so sick of umpires not paying the obvious free kicks

[Fork 'em 6,983]

Woo Hoo ... Bannan's a gun.

 

[BDA 22,743]

Bannon you star

[Clintosaurus 7,843]

Umps hopeless 

[BDA 22,743]

Brisbane harder around the ball and a little cleaner in slippery conditions. 

[Chook 15,012]

I reckon it might be 60/40 in Brisbanes favour in the stands.
