I think you will find it is 1.40pm our (Qld) time and 2.40pm AEDT. Typical of AFL/ ch 7 getting things wrong which they are also doing have playing it out at Springfield. What ever the temp in Brisbane add 3-4 degrees onto it. No matter what the forecast is it will be bloody hot for our girls playing at that stupid time at a stupid place. Not gonna change it so we need to butter up and get on with it. Play around 10-20% better than today and we have a real chance. Will be tough though. Lions are a very good team.

The Lions are an excellent team and the conditions will favour them. Tough ask but whatever else happens we'll give a good account of ourselves.

Gotta match the Lions on the inside. They beat us up around the contest last time out. Purcell and West going to have to have big games. If they get the ball on the outside and start running at us they are hard to stop. Wardlaw very important for them. I reckon Gilliard will get that job.

Will be very special and emotional if Daisy can lift the cup next Sunday.

Come on Dees. You can do it

Perhaps the 1:30pm AEDT is the Channel 7 broadcast start time and they will be giving the girls and the AFLW the respect of a decent pre-game. Having said that they are just as likely to come on and start the broadcast minutes before the first bounce.

Joke of a spot to hold the Grand Final. AFL should hang their heads in shame. Ony hope there are no injuries due to the premature surface.

Anyone know about the members ticketing?

Is it Melbourne AFLW members or Melbourne AFL and AFLW members?

I'd be spewing to miss a ticket.

Until a few minutes ago, I had never heard of “Tulmur” and I still can’t find it on a map. Strange place to hold an AFLW Grand Final.

It's the land of the Indigenous tribe that the ground is located within. 

Boy oh boy WJ haven't you noticed the last few game details with this on under the grounds ordinary address!!

Not 100% sure on this but most likely it’s AFLW members. Probably up to 10 tickets per AFLW barcode.

My Demon Army BFF is quite confident it won’t be a sell-out and she knows about these things just like she knows anything and everything AFLW and AFL. 🙂

The capacity is 8000. Our match yesterday drew under 6000 (two Vic. teams). Bris vs. Adel PF drew 2553. So it’s safe to say it won’t sell out.

This was done for the Prelim Final post from the AFL and on page 1 of this thread.

Metricon unavailable because already booked for concerts and a festival etc. 

Springfield has a capacity of 8000 (only 600 in the grandstand) which would be inadequate if it was here (in Melb). But since it’s up whoop whoop they’ll be lucky to get 5000 imho. So from the point of view of the AFL, it’s perfect. 🙄

Great game but the girls, but now they would rue that 1 point :(  

We can winner anywhere and we tend to like QLD.  

The game yesterday was great with the pressure and the backline held up very well.  They'll need to be on their best next week.

I think we'll be better prepared compared to our H&A game against them, they smothered us and we could get our game going for 4 qtrs.

Purcell was unusually quiet and West took a while to get going. Both will need to be on from the start.

Agree with Gillard on Wardlaw, she probably won't have the agility or smarts yet but just need to go body on body and give her no space. The only other one for her, and it's not going to happen would be Zanker....so it's Gillard.

The real answer will be to lock it in our forward half.

Need a good 4 Q's from Goldy, Bannan and Mackin this week.

Well done to the women! The overriding feeling of the senior players will be one of relief and that the season starts here.
 

I am sure they want to test themselves to start the GF better than they did last season.

Doing it for Daisy is emotionally fraught. Just go into each contest like Daisy has her career and that is enough for her - win or lose. If they do that, they will win.

I guess Springfield is better for us than the Gabba/Metricon where the Lions have more experience and maybe get 10 to 20,000 fans and be much louder. 

While it will be hot and that favours them, the humidity is forecast to be low so the ball won't be slippery and should help our skills. 

The ground itself doesn't offer them any advantage.  It looks short which might help us in attack.  We can still use the width of the ground to our advantage.  Their best bet is to shut down our ball movement by attacking the player rather than trying to possess the ball.  Adelaide did that and so did North but we found a way to overcome their effort.

Can anyone offer some insight into what is their strengths are that we need to negate from the get go?

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
