Here we are then. After plenty of twists and turns throughout the season, both on and off field, two teams remain and will face off on Sunday in the second AFLW grand final of the year. Brisbane and Melbourne were only separated by 0.3% at the top of the ladder at the end of the home-and-away season, so perhaps it is only fitting they’re the last two standing.
On Friday night, at their home away from home on the Gold Coast, Brisbane did what they’ve done all season – they piled on the goals. After an arm wrestle in the first few minutes against Adelaide, the Lions never looked like losing despite the Crows remaining competitive. Small forward Courtney Hodder and spearhead Jesse Wardlaw booted four between them in the second quarter to effectively seal the deal.
