The game was never a chance of getting the go ahead at the Gabba. You canโ€™t have a football game on a pitch that will be hosting first class and test cricket.

Brisbane can use the Richmond decision as a basis to play the game at a small qld ground. Afl canโ€™t say no.

Apparently the curator was confident it could be done. Clearly he was the only one. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think he went rogue. Should have stayed stum.

If the pitch got damaged and wasnโ€™t fit for purpose come test match time cricket Australia would be roasted. No way they were taking the chance

surely they'll just name the grand final to be played at princes park, regardless of participants?

They've already said Marvel if it's in Melbourne.

I think Brisbane would be hard pushed to get a home GF given the unavailability of Metricon and Gabba.ย ย

I just wish theyโ€™d name a ground, any ground really. Or at least a day (Sat or Sun). I know we have to wait until we find out which two are playing in order to adhere to the home-ground advantage thing (which has already been compromised, anyways) but itโ€™s ridiculous that 16 (or 17?) days out thereโ€™s no definite plan.

Unlike the men, most W players have jobs and need to plan around that. As do the fans.

If we make the GF we have members whoโ€™ll be going regardless of where or on which day itโ€™s being held (incl. if interstate) but geez itโ€™d be cool to know in advance. Personally Iโ€™m moving house at the same time so a lil heads-up would go a long way.

That said, if definitely in Melb, my guess is Marvel, which has been mooted since the beginning.ย

Punt Road can barely host a VFL game

Even then it is so awkward why bother

The space between Punt road and the fence is around ten feet

I'm going to be the devil's advocate here.ย  They need to name it Marvel and be done with it.ย  Melbourne and Brisbane both finished equal top of the ladder, with only .3% separating them.ย  Brisbane have already hosted a grand final, they have also already won a premiership.ย  Given the fact we missed out on seeing the men win the premiership in 2021, it's about time we were looked after for a bloody change.ย  And if the interstate clubs want to plead "bloody Victorians", let them - we've been [censored] on too many times, and we need to fight back.

Seems like scheduling ignorance or perhaps hope that it wouldnโ€™t come about. I guess whoโ€™s responsibility is it to ensure this situation doesnโ€™t come about? Itโ€™s definitely not the the GABBA or Metricon, they have every right to push forward with their own events. So surely itโ€™s on the Lions and/or the AFL to make sure should this situation comes about.ย 

This job though them trying to make CA look like the bad guy for them wanting to hold them to their obligations of ensuring an international standard cricket ground.ย 

Does raise the stake a touch for us, win and we get a home grand final.ย

This one I can tell you, Sunday 27th November. I hope if we win through the powers that be decide it will be in Melbourne. If so Marvel seems the best choice for all involved, weโ€™ve never played there so in theory the turf is neutral, and itโ€™s the best location for fans to get to. Plus there is a strong Fitzroy following in Victoria evidenced from our finals loss.ย

We have played there. On a couple of occasions. I remember we beat the filth there one year.

So who do we want to win today? North or the Tigers?
North could possibly be a more formidable opposition if they win the right to play us next week. so Iโ€™ll be barracking for the Tigers this afternoon.ย 

Great to see the umpire's allowing throws when tackled.


We should be using the best umpires available in the final series, it is looking more like Raffertyโ€™s Rules. The throws are so blatant it looks like the umps have never played footy.!!!

Itโ€™s really strange, there are some rules that they seem harsher on (allowing opportunity to get rid of the ball) but then donโ€™t punish rules the incorrect disposal enough.ย 

Something I love about women's footy though is they throw the ball up so quickly for ball ups. Keeps the game in motion as much as possible.ย 

Would have liked to have played Richmond.ย  Totally overrated,ย  easy draw

I'm going to assume you meant this, dl4e, but just in case...

Well, certainly not there there!

I think there's a side door I can use...

Just turned on the game with a few minutes left. Nice to see the Kangas really making the most of the final opportunity to sing their song this season.ย 


Crows Pies gamed delayed due to lightning?

Water pollo in Adelaide. I doubt we'll see another goal for the rest of the game. Atrocious conditions

The date is still yet to be announced. At this stage itโ€™s either the Saturday or the Sunday.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
