Timing is everything.

This year the WSL match of the day is played at about noon and televised on Sky. In previous years it was a mix of free to air on BBC and Sky (pay) with the match of the day played in the evening.

Last weekend's Chelsea v Arsenal attracted an audience of 71k compared to 732k watching the same game last year. Admittedly last year's game was in the men's International window and FTA on the BBC.

    So frustrating watching this GF. Brisbane are pathetic & we put up a much better fight against nth.

    We let an opportunity slip

    So true. But we didn't win that first final...so we meet North a week early.

    No we didn’t. We gave 110% and came up just short against north.

    Did North throw it 100 times without being pinged like every other week? Or hold players in every contest with the same result?

    I loved the girls effort but the reality against NM was we scored 10 points after quarter time. Brisbane scored 8 points to half time. NM’s defence was outstanding aided by a fantastic midfield of Garner, Riddell and Sheeran.

    Congrats to NM, easily the best team over the season and deserved to win.

    They were the best all season. But they beat us by 10 points. That's a cause of optimism for me and North are going to get beaten some time. It's up to us to do it.

    PS. Two of their biggest drivers, Kearney and Shierlaw, are both 36.

    The only way we will beat North is to significantly improve the list over the offseason. We simply can't match their level of talent across the ground.

    Unfortunately the AFL have created a monster that is going nowhere in the next 2-3 years. You only need to look at their ability to recruit Sheerin for minimal outlay last year.

    The pay structure in the AFLW means that you can't just go out and pillage their list without seriously compromising your own list. You are really only competing for talent on the quality of your program and facilities, and the opportunity to play finals, and North obviously rate very highly on those measures.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
