    Nice synergy with Kate Hore hopefully also registering her 100th goal.

    Can't wait.

    So good. And lots of 100s coming up with Mick's 100th the game after and some 100 game milestones hopefully in the next few years.

    Actually, if anyone's looking to handcraft a sign, "100" has some good upcoming re-use value!

    Yep, for me it’s the last recording session for my band’s album. Had it booked in for weeks 😖

    I blame bloody Starcevich moaning about Brions having to play in Melb today and then having to come back. Boo-[censored]-hoo 🤬

    @Meggs report on Geelong game mentioned some of players being below their best. The athletes, the runners - McNamara, Bannan and Paxy - were not at their best.

    I don't think we can underestimate the impact of last week playing in the energy-sapping heat and bruising encounter with Brisbane - especially the running athletes. Lions coach Starcevich said it was one of the best games the Lions have played over the 10 years. He was impressed with his team's performance.

    It sounds to me we took the Lions' best shot. And because of this, Coach Stinear and the Dees coaching team maximised their learnings from the game.

    For some reason, being the underdog provides a better competitive edge when the rivalry is close.

    We have the home ground, we're not in the heat, we have the feeling of being underdogs, we have an 8-day break to the first final - I like the feel of all that.

    It would be brilliant to get the win if only to have the week off to freshen up. That would make a big difference to some of our key players.

    I've loved her career, but not sure they can play Lampard.

    First of three for this season? The third one being the one where Kate and Mick hold up this…

    It wasn't the prettiest at times but I thought the game against the lions last week was close to the best AFLW game I've watched.

    Fantastic pressure from both sides

    It'd be a tough call. Who'd you bring in? (Sincere question, not having a go!)

    Very tough call. I truly have enjoyed her football.

    Last week really worried me. More than once she looked like she had concrete legs. You can get away with that if you're the designated distributor or getting to the right spot and taking intercept marks. Lampard isn't.

    Straight swap for Goldrick, if Sinead's available.

    Goldrick is still a week away, O’Hehir is a test and Colvin and Beasley are available.

    Just out of interest, with 3 of the first finals week games being played at Ikon park, do the Blues make money out of this?

    It's owned by the City of Melbourne and is operated by CFC.

    I doubt that anyone makes money but it helps defray the expenses.

    Our game might attract 5k. Doubt that anyone breaks even but who pays.... also doubt we'll ever know

    Need a big 4 qtrs, we didn't match the lions until he end in the last game, but they'll learn from that. Looking forward to seeing the girls go straight to the Prelim, fingers crossed.

    It will hurt us not having Goldy this weekend. She's had a bumpy season.

    We'll really miss her run.

    Thought she'd be back in this week. I hope her eye is coming good

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
