Not sure whats going on with the lions jumper.

That tree on their backside looks very different from the wide shot.

Makes them look like a bunch of plumbers with buttcrack on full display!  :o

Yeah not great as they were walking off!

What a great game! The girls are just playing so Much better this season! The kicks are huge, the marking really strong - super impressive!

3rd quarter start wasn’t great but they toughed it out and go back their mojo in the fourth 👏🏽

Good result. Thought they were follow the men in blowing a half time lead. Well done.

What a top effort against last years grand finalists.

I don't know what kind of skills training they did in the off-season, but get the blokes doing the same one.
The lead, kick, mark, repeat is something our lads struggle with.

Very unexpected win, but we 100% deserved it. Controlled the game. Kicked straight and attacked constantly.
Yes, Lions came hard in the 3rd and looked ready to run over the top, but the girls gutsed it out and held their nerve.

Play like that every week and we will play finals.

Carlton: 9 - 4 - 58
Brisbane: 6 - 8 - 44

I didn't see this happening. We kicked 5 goals in a row at one point in the second quarter.
Our mids were brilliant:
Abbie McKay: 32 possessions
Dayna Finn: 29 possessions and 10 marks.
Mimi Hill: 25 possessions
Live Long and Prosper!

I'm looking forward to seeing the replay. Some of the highlights are special.
Fitzpatrick's double, Bohanna's boomerang and Sherar's screamer. What a beauty!

Was a great game, played to our strengths again, held steady and persisted despite the Lions rebound and pressure.

Yes, I found myself having a second look on several occasions.  It wasn’t nearly as bad as the women’s cycling outfit from several years ago but it wasn’t a good look.

It’s great that Indigenous designers get an opportunity but they really need someone with relevant expertise to cast an eye over their designs.

It certainly makes a difference when your key defenders mark everything that comes their way, your rucks dominate, your key forwards hit the scoreboard, and your midfielders get leather poisoning.

I just hope Ronnie’s injury isn’t serious.

She was walking under her own steam by the time she reached the boundary line, so hopefully it's just a knock.

It's amazing just how much difference having just a single player with extreme pace can have, and now we have two one at each end.

Yet, fans watching that game will still claim our AFL team needs a tear down rebuild! ::)

There is significant structural and tactical similarity between our AFL and AFLW midfields, it's the equivalent Erone that is missing from the AFL. I might have to register a "Jagga26" number plate!
