Women's Footy Preliminary Final, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Adelaide

[dlanod]

Gee I wish we could have won a McClelland instead of making four Grand Finals in a row. Oh well.

I have since been informed it was actually five because I forgot 2022 S7!

5 grand finals in a row is some crazy kind of cross-league dominance. I feel sorry for the Lions fans who can't allow themselves to take joy from the performances of their womens team. Their loss

One day we are all going to be looking back at all this as the Glory Days. It will help us get thru the next dip just like the threepeat did. So enjoy while you can folks, it don't come around too often.

They're eating the dogs. they're eating the cats . they're eating the crows of the people who live there. where will this end.

Roos' game today might've been a training run, but it was a training run in 35°C heat as opposed to our game's more civilized 21°C or so. Might be handy next week.

This dude is having a really bad Saturday night.

Crows have a 3-6 record in womens finals the last 4 years or so, and 0-0 in the mens over the same period, so you can understand their frustration

If by some miracle we beat the Roos next week, I hope the club organises a double crown t-shirt celebrating both flags -- I would buy the hell out of that

Pressure is what can beat the Roos. They like to play in clear air but if we make it a scrap I think we begin to tire their bigger players out. If it was bucketing down I wouldn’t be too disappointed. I think we play the messy ground ball game better than they do.

Everyone play with the intensity of Dawes and we win.

how much you paying the umps ?

not as much as you paid for your raygun looking logo

The women never slow play down. Get ball, play on.

There are 4 grand finals across 24 and 25. And we have been in in all 4 games. That's insanely good.

Well, I mean, not as good as hawks obviously, but good enough..

I think that there is something not right with their game plan forward of centre. They have a lot of talent (equal or better than NM and the Lions) but it's rare that they pass to an uncontested forward and seem to reply rely upon the big mark. Also, they rarely switch and don't seek to control the game tempo when needed.

No one is a good as the Hawks. They have a wizard playing for them.
