Women's Footy general AFLW talk

[jackess]

It's not the afl who want gold coast, it's gold coast who are trying to get it. Afl have consistently said it will be a home final for the team at the top of the table.

So we have nothing to worry about then?

From what I have read - nothing to worry about.

Unless of course if the Gabba playing surface is unplayable.

Well that is interesting.

 

[fanackapan]

Makes it easier to get down there from the AFLW at the Gabba. Much as the conspiracy theorist in me would like to think that was the whole reason for the change, it wouldn't account for 7 switching the men's game to the main channel.

Gonna make for a very long day of footy, though!

 

[jackess]

What?! Now we have to wait an extra 40 minutes for round 1.

 

[fanackapan]

What?! Now we have to bask in the glory of our newly won AFLW premiership for an extra 40 minutes before round 1.

Fixed it for you...

Freemantle still ahead of Carlton into the third quarter. Looking good for us and Adelaide.

Dockers got it done.

Excellent result.

As well as, hopefully, a gentle reminder for our girls to keep away from any complacency.

Carlton saw the game as a percentage boost. Oops

Agreed. % is not a worry for us, winning is. Getting over the line, even by 1 point is the most important thing for our girls. Especially if Adelaide lose.

 

[SizeMatters]

I think we are guaranteed a grand final now. Congrats girls you have made this preseason bearable for us Lions supporters. Crows and Lions doing their job to infuriate VIC elite. Nice.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Barring the Demons winning their last two games by massive, massive margins, we have already got a grand final spot. If we win tomorrow, we put it beyond doubt. If the Demons beat the Crows as well we sew up the home GF with a week to spare. That would be a hell of a nice feeling.

 

[Dalions]

Go Girls!
Will be there with my 2 girls cheering them on tomorrow.

Caro stated 10 days ago the final would be at the Gabba if we qualified. As we know her mail tends to be good (often to good, not to be spoon fed).

Haven't been around lately but has assumed that this would be common knowledge. Entertaining reading the debate

 

[Crawb]

Whilst we've got ourselves in the Grand Final ( ), if Adelaide win tonight and beat Collingwood on Sunday morning next week, we’ll probably need to beat Carlton at Ikon Park in the final round to secure a home final. If Melbourne win tonight, it confirms us a home final. Would also make the race for 2nd interesting if Melbourne win decent too. Dees might be able to sneak into 2nd even if Adelaide win 5 games if results go their way in a scenario like this:

Round 6:
Adelaide 20-40 Melbourne

Round 7:
Melbourne 40-15 Fremantle
Collingwood 29-30 Adelaide

Theoretical Percentage:
Melbourne 137.6%
Adelaide 137.3%

What happens next year? Can we recruit a couple of gun midfielders?

From what I hear, getting Jordan Zanchetta back will help

 

[winged1]

Try to get ellie Blackburn, gun. We will gave some good outside players coming through the academy.

Chance the Bulldogs give up Blackburn: 0.

Home grand final!

 

[lionshine]

Gabba Grand Final confirmed

Rest SFT next week.

 

[Gadzorks]

Home grand final !!! Go lions
Adelaide- 4 from 6 (love the dogs). We are 2 games clear.

 

[pOleK]

Still remaining hopeful that they change the men's game to the Gabba. Would hopefully make for a packed out stadium and great atmosphere for 5 hours
