With 189 clips from 73 out of 99 games in season 8 of AFLW, here's what I saw from an absolute belter of Grand Final.
I don't care what way you look at it, the better team always wins regardless of how many quarters they won on the scoreboard or whatever.
Brisbane's best (half of quarter 3 and all of quarter 4) was better then North's best (quarters 1, 2 and 3), with the Lions scoring as many goals as the Roos did in that last quarter.
North were far from disgraced but it goes to show that stats in AFLW can mean very little to the end result for a variety of reasons.
Our final 5 clips looks at:
Dakota Davidson's (close to) kick of the year, opting to be ultra-offensive instead of a safe kick down the line to space but then turned into a below average inside 50 for the Lions.
North Melbourne having a free player entering inside 50 into space but not squaring herself up to the kicker good enough to make her an attractive enough option to kick to, instead going long and high to Brisbane intercept mark.
North Melbourne applying multiple layers of front pressing defense that pays off, enabling them to regain possession to go forward fast.
Orla O'Dwyer getting in behind her forwards to receive a deep inside 590 kick in space and the goal that kick started the Lions fight back followed by a quick video of my own giving another look at how it all developed.
