Shambolic. Assuming the weekend of the GF was known when the H&A draw was released then all competing clubs outside Victoria should have been told to nominate and secure an AFL standard ground at that time if they wanted to host it. Not an issue for Victorian clubs as the AFL own Docklands Stadium. 

That’s so sensible and logical that it’s no wonder the AFL didn’t think that way. 🙄 

They’re clearly comfortable with making [censored] up as they go along. This entire season has been taxing and so the thought of not being able to attend really bites. And not just for us fans, but for the players. Attendance isn’t great at H&A games as it is, so I imagine they’d be sadly lacking support in QLD.

    Just gotta hope Adelaide win tonight. If they do, and we win tomorrow, the GF will be on Sunday at Marvel. If Brisbane win tonight it’ll be at Springfield (wherever the hell that is). This sucks so much.

    I would have thought they had a vested interest in promoting the AFLW game.

    Seems getting a small advantage (home), no crowds, minimal atmosphere and no corporates is the priority.

    Hope Adelaide do them.

    Devil’s advocate : 

    Brisbane finished top and earned the right to a home GF if they make it. With the Gabba and Metricon unavailable, they’ve lobbied hard for the next best option in their home state. 
    If the same scenario was applied to MFC, where the G and Marvel were unavailable, I would expect our club to also lobby hard for the next best option and keep the GF in our state. 
    Springfield is a ****ty inadequate venue and it sucks for the spectacle of AFLW, but it’s the Lion’s prerogative. 
    Go Crows.

    I dislike the Crows AFLW team but I sure hope they win tonight

    And in terms of venue, if a suitable venue was not available in Victoria, and I don't consider Casey is appropriate for AFLW grand final, I would acquiesce to play inter-state. Inter-state mens teams play the granny at G so no reason why it should be any different for AFLW. The Lions should understand that as well

    For starters we have to win tomorrow then if Brisbane win tonight we travel out to the south western suburbs of Brisbane. Any supporters coming up will need to hire a car or get a train out to Springfield. Its a bit out of the way however should this happen then this family will take a drive out to watch the Dees live. As with most of you be good for the Crows and us to win then we get the support in Melbourne this side needs. Be lucky to get 50 of us up here in Qld to go out to Springfield.

    Couldn’t agree more.

    The argument that Brisbane get a “home” grand final for finishing on top would be all well and good if every other ”rule” of the comp was observed. But they’re not.The AFL are cherry-picking what should be adhered to. For example, in Round 2 North were told at the last minute that their game vs. us was being moved to the MCG as curtain-raiser to our men’s match. That meant North W fans had to shell out for tickets for the whole day’s program. Was that fair????

    That’s awesome that your family can get to the game should it be played in Ipswich. The girls will need all the support they can get. But I’m thinking of some Demon Army members who are so dedicated and give up so much of their time (and effort and money) and have done for the whole seven seasons but who simply can’t afford to fly to Brisbane a month out from Christmas. Had this season not been sprung on everyone with bugger all notice these diehards would’ve been right since they budget for any and all interstate games. What a way to be rewarded for working tirelessly for our Club and in particular our W team.

    Hard to see Adelaide winning this. Everything looks a struggle while Brisbane look dangerous going forward.

    There doesn't appear to be a thread for tonight's game. I'll start. They cannot be fair dinkum with these non- holding the ball decisions. Brisbane getting the rub of the green big time.

    So infuriating.

    But they really should be three goals up anyways. Jess Wardlaw a little sloppy.

    The umpires non call when it was clearly holding the ball allowed Brisbane to kick inside 50 and receive a 50:50 free and convert.  That’s the quarter time difference, a free kick.  Hopefully over the course of the game it evens out.

    Never a freekick to Wardlaw but regardless the Lions look the better team. They have much more outside run than the Crows

    I've been watching the game RTG ( and I know we've discussed this previously) but I'm certain the umps deliberately ignore all but the most blatant in order to keep the game flowing.

    The appeal of the sheila's game is its pace and constant play on. I reckon this has been recognised and is being encouraged by keeping the frees out of it.

    I remember BBO. I guess the umps have a different interpretation of blatant to me. But I think you’re right.

    Jeez the Crows are a slow lumbering outfit. This game is done and dusted

    Springfield recreation centre will be hosting the showcase game unfortunately

    The way the AFL runs this competition there's something appropriate about playing the Grand Final at a local park.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
