Watching footy for 40+ years and never been so nervous during a 12-goal thumping. 

Oh well, no point ruing what might have been, we’ve clearly got the talent to win the thing.

Funny to think that had they been able to do it, the women, like the men, would have snatched the minor premiership right at the death, albeit by vastly different margins.

    I actually think 2nd spot has some pluses.  There are 3 top sides in the comp and we meet one when there's a second chance, win and we likely avoid the other in the prelim!

    Is anyone worried about our easy draw? Adelaide will be a different proposition. Great win by the girls but gee have we had some easy games recently.

    We really have had most of the games our way. No score board pressure and our tackling have forced the errors in our opposition. We have been playing freely. It will be interesting if the opposition start scoring well and they don't panic when we come at them.

    The yips could easily take over if we start panicking. 

    Hoping winning form gets our confidence high and we continue the fast, hard and attacking game. Would hate to see us drop the bundle. Though we possibly will need to try some tempo footy if we start losing control. 

    We also have been playing in poor environmental conditions. It will be interesting to see how we go when skilled play is easier to do.

    They say finals are won by pressure and the backline. In this we have been doing very well.

    I think we are on a mission, we will be too, disciplined, resistant, hardened and strong willed.

    It wasn't a disadvantage for the Geelong mens team this year. We've had hard draws to complete recent seasons and it took its toll. I much prefer the easier run home

    Tend to agree.

    Us and the Lions are the standout teams. I don't fear the Crows this year. I don't think we should fear playing an inter-state granny if it comes to it the only disappointment is I won't be able to go to Brisbane to attend.

    Didn’t hurt the Geelong AFL side this year!!

    I will go to Brisbane if we make the GF (it’s difficult to see Brisbane not winning through). Anyone other Demonlanders thinking of going?

    I’ve just read The Age summary of the game. They didn’t have Libby Birch in the best. Can you believe it? She was outstanding.

    I’m confident we’ll make it to the GF and just as confident we’ll win (anyone, anywhere, anytime) even if up against Brisbane, and even if it’s played in Brisbane. 

    What I’m worried about is the crowd size and in particular that we’d be so outnumbered.

    I intend on going to Brisbane if we play there (even if it means selling a kidney - pretty sure I’ve still got one left 🤔) but understandably not many Victorians will be able to attend. Therefore I’m hoping that the GF is staged at Marvel or Ikon. Soz, interstate sides, not Soz. 😁

    Agree. The lot of backline players unfortunately.

    Realistically you'd need to put all 18 in the best yesterday.

    Did anyone else hear the rumour mentioned on this week’s AFLW Dee Brief poddy that the GF will be played at Docklands regardless of who makes it? 

     

    I asked Mitch and Mandy (the pod hosts) about that and they said it will be played at Marvel, it’s just that it’s not official yet.
     🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    What about the prelim?

    If the GF is to be at the Gabba(?) it'd be good for the girls to experience a 'stadium' final in the lead-up.

    True. But I doubt very much the GF would be at the Gabba.

    And not the end of the world if it’s at Metricon. We’ve won our last three matches there.

    Ah, that's right, they have a 'suburban' ground, too?

    p.s. Noticed Zede put her 'tail up yesterday. Waddayareckon? (I had wondered when someone would start to be concerned about putting an eye out!)

    I love Edo, tail up or down! I’ll even forgive her for tucking her guernsey into her shorts. 
    There’s a lady in the DA, around 80yo and Eden is her favourite player. I asked her why Eden? She said, “She has fabulous hair!” 🤣

    I’m hearing we play Adelaide at Ikon on Friday night.

    Won't be at the Gabba. It's booked for cricket. If Lions host it will be on the Gold Coast

    So the one point doesn’t matter anyway. From the lions perspective if they do win through they’ll probably get more fans to marvel than the Gold Coast.

    Friday night, 7.10pm at Ikon confirmed.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
