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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
