These women have plenty of heart. The forecast temperatures are a worry but if it comes down to guts I’d back this team to win Come on dees. You can do it

Time will tell

an air-conditioned corporate box no doubt

Peter Bellend. Talks way too much

I’d like a nice soft fixture like Geelong got last year

Scores has a number of different meanings…

Struggling to concentrate on work. Can't wait for this game

Let the media talk up the lions all they want. Hopefully it’s goes to the lions heads, they get complacent and take us for granted on the day. Coming in under the radar with low expectations eases the pressure on us. Perfect set up for an ambush go dees

Same as the AFL umpires then

I was looking forward to death riding Freo's pick

The AFL and the Lions are doing a disservice to the women's game Does Nicole Livingson have any clue I wonder? It doesn't appear so I hope we beat the Lions because it would serve them right. Small club mentality. Those comments from their CEO are laughable

We’ve wasted so much time. We need to forget about the MCG precinct and find a suitable spot in the inner suburbs

The Lions are an excellent team and the conditions will favour them. Tough ask but whatever else happens we'll give a good account of ourselves. Gotta match the Lions on the inside. They beat us up around the contest last time out. Purcell and West going to have to have big games. If they get the ball on the outside and start running at us they are hard to stop. Wardlaw very important for them. I reckon Gilliard will get that job. Will be very special and emotional if Daisy can lift the cup next Sunday. Come on Dees. You can do it

It's the granny. No way she doesn't make it. She'll be patched up and given plenty of painkillers. She has the offseason to recover

Lily Mithen is a gem

Not a great performance but credit to North for making it very difficult for us. Came good in the final quarter and showed our class We're in the granny and thats all that matters All eyes on Tayla Harris during the week.

Tayla back in the game I so hope she's ok for next week. Probably our most important player

And Daisy seals it. Superb kick

rubbish free kick aginst zanker

Kate Hore you star. Great composure. One more goal should win it from here

I love Daisy but that was horrendous

we've conceded 16 points. our defence is not the problem

Miraculously still ahead. Badly missing the Tayla Harris outlet down the line. No structure to our play at all. We can't sit back and hope North don't score We have to find some composure and dare otherwise I can't see us holding on here

We can't get out of our defensive 50. Big time under the pump here

North pressure has knocked us out of rhythm. Tayla injury will significantly curtail her influence. 50/50 game
