I felt better watching the girls yesterday as well. It was a nice antidote. It's a purer experience. It's all about the footy. No hype, corporate speak or bloviating pundits. I hope the ALFW manages to keep the lower key vibe. I want the crowds to grow but keep playing at suburban grounds. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks watching this team try to go back-to-back. I know most Dees supporters have turned their minds to draft/trade or switched off for the year, but the footy season has a long way to go for me. Go Dees.

At least we're not the only ones. Port do serve up some horror home finals defeats. They've been spanked twice in 3 years (doggie pf in 2021 and last night) in big finals in front of their own fans. At least we've been spared that (small mercies i know)

bundle 24, 32 and our future first for GC pick 5? or do we need to include 13?

The Giants were excellent last night (other than goal-kicking in the second half). I wish we could play like that. We definitely need some new assistant coaches who can help evolve a more corridor-based plan. The game has moved on and i fear we're getting left behind.

Greene plays better when the oppo try to intimidate him. Maynard will go to work on someone else

And the team that wins their elimination final has momentum and confidence versus the losing qf team.

It’s hot in the kitchen now

Giants gone off the boil. Port back within 3 goals. Game not over yet by a long way

if the other options are pies 🤮 carlton 🤮 or Lions🤮then absolutely go giants

that goal ump getting his calls right tonight

i can't remember a more dominant quarter from the away team in a final. one way traffic

not sure i would have fancied our chances against gws the way they are playing. this is mightily impressive.

port midfield getting murdered. this is very impressive so far from gws.

moved on from 2 clubs for a reason. looks to have sorted himself out now at the giants so good luck to him

Jesse Hogan looks on tonight. a couple of excellent contested marks and slotted his set shot well

Plenty of corridor footy so far. the game has moved on and we haven't got the memo yet.

you'd worry about the home town umpiring if your were a Giant. Greene was nearly choked in that tackle. obvious head high. free all day long. not given

Toby Greene is my favourite non-mfc player

excellent H&A season. very close to AA. he was very poor last night. plenty of heart as usual but coughed the ball up continually.

She always has time and never panics. It's a rare quality that only greats possess.

poor bloke will be having nightmares. it was a shocking mistake. He had a great H&A season but didn't influence finals like i thought he would (he wasn't alone there). Hopefully the team can regroup and have another crack next year. and hopefully more luck with injuries

6. Hanks (if only we had a male equivalent for the mens team) 5. Hore 4. Pearce 3. Mithen 2. McNamara 1. Macken Great contributors all round and no passengers really.

The girls are in great shape. Playing with confidence, scoring heavily and moving the ball with real purpose. Hard to know where we stand until we face the Crows, Lions and North but so far we've blown all our opponents out of the water (and to their credit the doggies were game and had a real dip today but were just outclassed by us) Hanks superb. She's a cut above every player in this league. always has time and rarely wastes a possession. Hore very good. Pearce played well today (and ably assisted by Campbell who i've been very impressed by this year). Lily always gets stuck in. West just barrels through contests. Heath is the female Nev Jetta. tough as. We have outside flair in Mackin and McNamara and up top we have 2 great targets in Harris and Zanker. We have all the tools. I'm very confident about the season ahead. We're going to be hard to stop. Go Dees
