Reckon we can expect the usual, physical approach, and Brisbane player's helping to umpire the game from the get go, just gotta the ball forward quickly, we have so many dangerous option's there, go girl's, bring it home.

 

[Caracas]

What a absolutely stonking team we’re fielding - right through to the emergencies!!! If we hit our straps at all, we will not lose. The weather is the biggest threat to us - given it’s the great leveller. However, we can’t say we we’re not more used to it than any other team. Nerves are seriously jangling, though. We deserve this…

Our interchange bench is nearly our strongest line.

 

[Caracas]

No doubt, Brisbane will have done their homework. They’ll know how we dismantled them in R1 and will make the necessary tweaks. However, we’re so well-balanced, you’d have to think they’ll get exposed in other areas. Having said that, Brisbane are the Melbourne Storm of the competition (even more-so than Adelaide - in my view). They expect to win. If we don’t blow them right off the park by three quarter time, they’ll reckon they’ll have a real sniff.

 

[The Warlord]

We'll do them.

Just You Wait And See

 

[Nate7]

Even looking at our 3 emergencies, that's exceedingly strong.

 

[Possession]

Birch, Wall and Tripodi are a hell of a trio to add to our GF team from last year.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Going in super pessimistic.
I don't want to be hurt again.

Especially with the weather.

It is such testament to Ruby's work that she's mentioned in the same sentence as an all time GAA gun and two time AFLW premiership player

I'm the same. The pressure is insane. Hope the girls are ready, but I genuinely don't know how much readier they could be. No injuries, no losses, 300%...

Add Bruton as well

And a chip on our shoulder. I’m nervous but cannot see how the girls let this opportunity for payback go.

She has been quietly vital to our midfield this year. Does so much work that allows the stars to thrive. I believe in her!

Add Bruton as well

Jeez, you're right. God that was unlucky last year. I reckon she'll be itching.

 

[The Nostradamus]

1 change to our round 1 team where we smacked the lions

Bruton in for Niamh Martin (who kicked 2 goals that day)

 

[Ashley B]

This arrived today one of our Greatest Premierships Coaches . Hopefully an omen for Saturday night.

 

[Caracas]

… and Jenna - effectively.

 

[Caracas]

If there’s any justice, they’ll get an early injury this year. Hopefully, not us again.

Personally (and selfishly) I'm reaaaaaally hoping it doesn't rain.

My 5 year old daughter is so excited for the Grand Final, and this will be her first ever night game of footy. I'm already concerned that she'll be tired and cranky, but add in rain to that mix at open and exposed Ikon Park? Yuck.

The dilemma is whether to sit in the grandstand under cover, with the play predominantly on the opposite side of the ground, or behind the bench which is exposed and has poorer facilities but is closer to the action, and will have the stage facing the right way.

Another reason I hate Ikon; the bench and the player's race are on OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE OVAL.

I didn’t know the bench side was an option - thought it was for friends and family and AFL officials (so they can watch the show).

Bloody stupid when 90% of the crowd is on the other side of the ground.

Yeah I think you can’t go over that side as I tried last year

Nah it's GA/open.

It's run-down, old, and rough. And very exposed to the elements.

But it's an option! It's where me and my kid sat for the 2nd half of this week's prelim, and she spent a lot of the time making friends with Nat Edwards

 

[The Brady Bunch]

I think the friends and family have been near the race this year as our team has swapped to the rooms on the other side of the ground. The opposition supporters have been congregating behind the bench.

 

[The Brady Bunch]

Yeah I think you can’t go over that side as I tried last year

It depends which way you walk. If you go clockwise, you can walk in front of the admin buildings. But if you go counter clockwise around the Legends Stand, I think you run into a fence blocking access.

Dare I say
Nostra the new mod

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
