AFLW: QF vs Adelaide

[Demonland 64,650]

I thought we earned the right to have a home final?

[3183 Dee 2,602]

How come we don’t get the home advantage of Casey?!

[BDA 20,021]

Casey renovations apparently. Dressing rooms being demolished and rebuilt I think

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,105]

I know Richmond gave Brisbane their only loss for the season but the Lions should win the rematch by around 100pts if they're switched on. Tigers had a pretty easy draw that helped them finish with a double chance. Anyone outside the top three this year really are making up the numbers.

The renovations were scheduled for now before season 7 was announced.

I'm not sure that Adeliade are a chance this year. They have a pretty blunt attack now that Erin Phillips has left. She's a big loss

North are the 4th best team and could create problems for us. We just managed to beat them during the H&A with poor kicking almost costing us that game. They had a tough fixture hence why they finished 8th

I'd be surprised if the granny isn't between us and the Lions. Both teams have been super impressive and very consistent. Neither looked like losing in the run-in.

Same, BDA. But I don’t worry about the Lions like I did about the Crows last season. I really believe we can beat anyone.

Going to miss this one (always knew I should have got the Saturday night tickets for Colin Hay instead of the Friday), will have a late night watching the replay.

May as well have a vegemite sandwich while watching ;)

I do love going out to see a band and then hunkering down at midnight to watch a delayed match. Sounds like a great night

Girls have great balance this year and should be too good for the Crows this time.

Any time, anywhere. We have been a far better side than Adelaide this year, and should win reasonably comfortably if we take our chances. Poor goalkicking is the number one threat to us winning a premiership this year, but playing away from Casey Fields show help our efficiency.

2022 at home: 35.45; away 38.36.

Mind you, the worst 'home' was the 3.8 nailbiter at the 'G...

...at a happy hunting ground:

"The match will be the second time the Dees have played at IKON Park this season, defeating Carlton by 42 points in Round 5".

[dl4e 5,583]

Not happy. We should be playing at casey but it is not to be. You can bet Adelaide will be happy about the fixture. And to think that the two maggots of the comp in the filth and Geelong have their home ground to play on disgusts me.😒

Tickets secured, cant wait!

I reckon North have also improved and built a lot of form since we played them as well...

 

Have my tickets, and hope lots of Dees fans go along. Not our home ground, but let's make it one!

So does anyone want to offer an opinion on the Tigers? It’s easy to see them getting walked over by Brisbane next week but they have beaten them this year (we haven’t) and they also forced North to a draw who had everything to play for. Tigers also apparently have some handy players to come in. 

[Deestar9 1,402]

We have continued to improve each week & we’re a well balanced even team who doesn’t rely on 3 or 4 superstars to win it for us. We’re a vastly different side to the one who played Bris and  Nth earlier in the year . Playing away from Casey will help our goal kicking  as well

I hope so too, DiO .

Unfortunately a member of the Demon Army who was at Saturday’s match tested positive for covid this morning. Because our QF is on Friday she won’t be able to attend. Hoping no one else comes up positive. 🤞🏼

Is that a DA protocol, WCW? Cos the public protocol is isolate just while symptomatic, and she might be 'right' by Friday?

As to infecting others on Saturday, no self-respecting virus could successfully navigate between 2 people in Casey's microclimate!

The 5-day isolation period isn’t mandatory but is recommended. She is symptomatic, so is erring on the side of caution.

Most of us have already had covid but that doesn’t mean we can’t get it again. We’ll all be testing daily and hoping no one else has it. 🤞🏼
