Here are all the major bullet points that I could think of right now:
Big picture
The Kangaroos are looking to continue the leaguewide post-2020 streak, wherein GF losers go on to win the GF in the following year.
The Lions are attempting to go back-to-back. Yet to be achieved by any club in AFLW. This is the first time the reigning premiers have even made the GF.
Both clubs are also vying to achieve multi-league firsts. North will be looking to pull off the VFLW/AFLW double. Brisbane: the AFL/AFLW double.
NM are aiming to be the first undefeated AFLW premiers.
BL are aiming to join Adelaide as the club with the most AFLW premierships (3).
This will be the first instance of a Grand Final in which both teams plus venue are a repeat of any previous Grand Final.
This will be the 2nd time, following Adelaide/Brisbane, in which two clubs have met in multiple AFLW Grand Finals.
NM v BL Head-to-Head
Overall H2H record: 1-5

Brisbane’s 44-point loss this year was their heaviest-ever defeat vs any club.
