It was like she learnt about holding the ball during the week and then just paid it at every opportunity because it was the freshest thing she’d learnt this week.

You'd think you'd get her name right if she's a favourite....

It's more sheer incompetence than cheating.
The umpiring in AFLW in general is hot garbage, I sit there scratching my head half the time at some of the decisions.

Good to see Brisbane maintaining their hard-earned status as the biggest grand final chokers of the AFLW.
Hope that doesn’t come back to bite, were in a similar position last year.
Brisbane have totally panicked post qtr time and have just worried about defence and forgotten how to attack with their forward line falling apart.

That missed free kick where Vicki Wall basically did a Vulcan neck pinch was pretty ridiculous, haha.
Imagine playing in six grand finals and losing four of them.

Brisbane haven't even tried to score tonight. Starcevich has just stacked the backline to stop the flow.
Needless to say, he's coached very poorly tonight.

Even the number 4 fuzzy-haired umpire that usually loves them has abandoned them now.
Who would have guessed that Brisbane would get an absolute rogering from the umpires tonight?
Oh that’s right, we all predicted it.
And the over the shoulder tackle has been added to the new “only for AFLW” rules.

Number of Brisbane’s players have been so fumbly, they certainly haven’t played like the reigning premier tonight.
Crocker deserves credit for how he shut down Davidson & Smith, Smith’s injury early might’ve helped but he made sure Davidson was never one-on-one & always had multiple opponents to spoil and pressure. Clarke leaving S.Allan isolated one-on-one all night last week on Davidson was stupid/stubborn coaching.

Of course, against us Starcevich has a bag full of positional changes he can implement on a whim which inevitably turn the match. But against North he's too scared to even try anything.
Just like how Brisbane's normally thuggish players didn't even try to rough up North (other than Davidson at one point), because they knew they couldn't win.
They're schoolyard bullies. All tough and swagger when things are on their terms, but timid and meek when someone bigger comes along.

Davidson had a Joel Amartey style GF. Almost nothing of any substance.
North had a deeper midfield, a more solid defence and a more varied attack. Brisbane tried the cheap shot every now and then and the North girls just looked at laughed.
You can't go toe to toe with them, they'll belt you.

If I wasn't going to get to watch the Crows win a GF this year, I'm glad to see Ash Riddell win a premiership medal. One of my absolute favourite players, love how she goes about it.
Haha this guy…
Classic Starcevich “we only lost because they played the best football in the history of the competition”, yes North are a great team and they set up very well defensively especially in that first half but really that first half wasn’t even close to the best football North have played this year let alone that a team has played in the history of the league.

Having experienced losses up here to them seemingly forever, I’m eternally grateful for, and living off that magical win in the first Grand Final.

Yeah, it wasn't the best footy we have played, it had been raining a lot all day and it thankfully stopped before the game, the ground drained really well but but it was still pretty heavy and a bit slippery, not our ideal conditions. I think we have just been more consistent from quarter to quarter all season than Crows and Brisbane and getting a bit more contribution from the second and third tiers which takes a lot of pressure off your stars.
It will be interesting to see how we go next year because there wont be the same kind of hunger as there was this year, I have a lot of respect for Crows and Lions who have been able to sustain such a high standard year after year for so long.
