A north supporting mate told me that we get the same prize money for the AFLW premiership win as the mens AFL premiers.

I'm guessing the AFL are likely to retrospectively change the rule for this season.

What prizemoney will AFL and AFLW players earned in 2023?

From 2023 and for the 2024 finals series, players from AFL and AFLW will both receive their own share of a dual $1.1 million pool in prizemoney for being involved in a finals series.

This money will be split between the AFL's top four teams and the top eight from the AFLW.

God bless the AFL, bringing the world a new definition of gender equity

Men - divided by 4

Women - divided by 8

Nothing to see here

Transparency is their middle name.*

*Transparency may or may not be their middle name.

By the way, that has to have a real impact to the AFLW teams / players which is honestly great given their semi professional setup at the moment.
 
Watching the replay again, and the more I watch it the more I hate Kelli Underwood. There were a number of comments made during the course of the night that i found frustrating, but it was her continuous comments about Brisbane being a brilliant third quarter team to be the most galling, especially when you take our third quarter performances into account. Over the course of the season, we won 11 and lost 3, outscoring our opposition 31.18.204 - 5.15.45. We conceded only 5 goals in the third quarter for the entire season, (two of those were against Geelong) that is an unbelievably dominant and consistent performance of the course of the season and yet it was totally ignored by Underwood and her cohorts.

Rant over.

No, but she can acknowledge Brisbane's oppositions third quarter performances as well, or one of her co-hosts could.

Worth noting the McClelland Trophy winners got more cash than both premiers for crashing out of both finals series.
 
I’ve watched the replay every night since Saturday night and there’s no end to this pattern in sight.
Life is good…..and glad to see you didn’t pass out like you thought prior to the game …
I certainly am enjoying the replays as l wait for my premiership beer pack to arrive 🍺💙🤍

Being stuck in Ireland for the next month, I’ve had to content myself with watching my numerous replays on my iPhone. I still have a sore neck from watching the live broadcast on my phone in the Kelly Lou cafe in Portlaoise. Just like Vikki Wall did for last year’s final…

To be fair to Kellie, the Lions outscored us by infinity percent in the third quarter and our percentage was 0%.
Statistically they dominated us on the scoreboard.

Actually, if I'm going to point fingers at third rate commentators for their inadequacies, I should at least get all my facts straight. We were held scoreless for a quarter only twice all season, and both were third quarters, against Port Adelaide in the middle of a cyclone and Saturday night against in Grand Final. But we only conceded 1.1 in total, so we were never dominated like Kelli was suggesting/hoping Brisbane could/will do.

Saying that we were held goalless gives Brisbane too much credit though I think, we had a lot of good opportunities in front of goal throughout the game and failed to capitalise; we really should've won by a lot more. For all that people are going on about how we've played the best footy ever, I've seen this side play much better than that.
 
Did the mighty Brisbane team just set the record for the lowest score in an AFLW grand final?

A record breaking season in more ways than one
 
I've had the game on repeat on the projector while I work but only now I've been able to sit down and watch a full replay. A few things stand out that haven't been mentioned much:
  • The first few minutes were quite even. Brisbane had a couple of good opportunities that were messed up through fumbles, pressure and a bit of luck.
  • Kearney changed things. When she started selling candy she just showed that fabulous mix of determination, intensity and simple fun that exemplified the spirit of the team.
  • Amy Smith played a blinder. Always there, tough as nails.
  • Gatt was amazing. My favourite clip of the whole thing is visible only on the replay of the lead up to Wall's first goal. Gatt has already been in the play up the field, but she is miles ahead of her opponent arriving after a kick. When the ball spills she turns on the jets arcs in like a homing missile to get to it and makes the goal.
Most of all, it's so clear that this domination was built on attitude. It's the determination to become the fittest team in the comp, the discipline and desire to know the systems and play them, and then the 100% intensity with or without the ball, in front or behind it. Those things come together through genuine collective commitment. I wonder if these girls just appreciate their opportunity so much because they have real jobs and real stresses in life. They haven't been school superstars waiting to get on the gravy train. They work for everything.

i hope like hell our male players were learning: Our women became world-beaters on attitude.
