Look at the Lions and how they started their season to how they played those last couple of finals. It's do-able. We have the right blend of experience and youth. We need to be able to stay fit and also execute well. Foot skills and decision making. I am so happy that the coach has admitted our style is not up to winning a premiership and we're being very open about fixing it. It's about time. I think the players will relish the change after a year or two of frustration. Go dees

Probably throw Brisbane in with that lot too.

Too bad he can't slot in for Koz everytime he is suspended for multiple weeks after a player slides in to take out his legs (still fuming a bit from last season) Hope we can keep him with the club somehow. He's great to watch.

Goldie Macca Kate Not sure after that

I'm with you. He's an incredible talent and as tough as nails. What a fantastic year he had

I don't think Musk or Zuckerberg have our best interests at heart either. As far as identity theft goes, there's a lot of corporations that have had massive data breaches with little ramification as well.

I'd be interested in your view @Katrina Dee Fan, I kinda feel like the content from our Women's team is a bit more engaging than the blokes most of the time. Maybe they just naturally seem to be having a bit more fun? Dunno

And yep, no real change to fixtures much for the "product" as Laura calls it. Just less compression which is something I guess. Still only 12 games even though all KPIs improved. Is increasing to 14 games really that much of a stretch for next year? https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/nov/06/aflw-2025-season-congested-condensed-fixture-scrapped

Naaaah. They take it as seriously as they do looking after fans of the game and building grass roots footy clubs.

I think Goldie was our BnF for our club this year. She's was just consistently solid week in and week out even through our dive in form. Hope she's recovering ok. And yep Goldie, Macca and Hore should all be AAs. I don't want an easier fixture next year, I want to see a fair fixture for the whole comp! Each team should be playing each other once.

"She's playing her career of her final game" She is woeful

Very proud of our team. We would have given things a real shake if we'd snuck in. Amazing transformation mid season

An incredible turn around mid season. Very proud of them. We'll miss Goldy, I think she's been our best this season. We've still got a heap out injured but we're playing incredibly well. Go the Blues.... By a point

I reckon this bloke deserves to coach an AFL men's team one day. He's a wonderful leader, mentor and coach.

Very proud of that last quarter effort. (Apart from the inaccuracy) We were out on our feet but just pushed so hard. Injuries just really destroyed us this year. Hope Goldy is ok. She looked to be in a lot of distress. That was a nasty know. Also a big shout out to the demon army. You make us proud. Thursday night in Cairns and you're flying the flag @Katrina Dee Fan and @walkingcivilwar

And so many wrong calls on players names. She is trumplike

Our best this season I reckon

We look absolutely cooked. What is it about Cairns?

Yep, we're plodding

How can someone stripping the ball out of Hanks hands be an incorrect disposal free kick? Anyways, mids going ok but our forwards and backs seem to be walking around the packs a little too much.

This is the most bogan commentary team I've ever heard. They should be in a tri coloured Commodore commentary car on the hill. One of the women just said that "hawthorn play some of the funest footy she's seen"

Really looking forward to this one. If we keep tackling with the ferocity we've shown of late, we should win this. Pedal to the metal girls

AFLW off season I meant

I think that relentless tackling and pressure is what has turned things around for us. The key personnel coming back is helping now for sure but 4 weeks ago our stocks were decimated but we just seemed to switch on with the agression. It's been quite the transformation. We've been led by Macca and Goldy this year. They are true competitive animals and I love watching them. Hanks and Bannon were way off to start the season and their lift in form in recent weeks has really helped us turn things around. A big shout out to Gall too. She really struggled to hold a mark early in the season but she is just clunking everyhting now. Gall, Zanker, Campbell and Bannon are quite a combo now. It's going to be really hard to sneak in. As everyone has said, the fixturing just sucks. It looks like one of the in form teams in the comp is going to miss out. But...every week has been a final for us and every goal helps. I'm loving this demon resurrection! Very proud of Mick and the team. I still think he should be helping the blokes through the AFLW season. Go Dees.

Considering the injuries we've suffered and the BS fixture we've been handed and the start we've had. Sneaking into the finals would be an incredible achievement. They've really transformed with their tackling pressure and run in the last 3 weeks. Go Dee's, you can do it.
