    Totally agree. I’m so proud of all the women playing AFLW.

      What a funny game footy can be. Dogs hit the wall last week and barely hung on despite a large lead at 3/4 time, then this week kick 9 of their 16 goals in the last quarter to come home with a wet sail...

        I see Brisbane won again after North lead for most of the game.....they are dangerous.

        .....and the Dogs? 9 goals to 1 in the last to overrun the Hawks. We're a chance against the Hawks!
        Was free entry for the AFLW final - but impressive crowd nonetheless!

        Annoyed about Brisbane, had tipped them, then talked myself out of it!

            Does anyone wish Longmire had handed over to Stewie Dew a couple of years ago?

              To be fair to the Hawks they only had 2 players available on the bench so they tired in the last quarter. It was nice to see them lose though after having a 5 goal lead. And it was fitting that the turd Sicily contributed to the loss with his brain fades ????.

              Essendon have really lost the plot. At one stage there were 2 Essendon players chasing the ball to the boundary and they both went through the interchange and left the saints player to just pick up the ball and run away. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!

                And the Suns have beaten the Dockers in Perth which is also making me smile a little. Kicked 19 behinds but got the last three behinds then two goals in the game to win by three points. Ross is not the Boss.

                      If I have to put up with another year of Longmire bashing I'm gonna spew up!
                      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

                          No the year after, when we started 0-6

                            Apart from the round 1 upset, O can't think of a team the new rules have suited better than west coast:

                            Darling and Kennedy, gun big marking forwards very hard to stop with the 6v6 rule.

                            And Jetta and Hurn precision 60m kick outs reach the centre square.

                            Look very ominous.

                              And then set a record to make the finals and win one.
