How important will these last few minutes of the third quarter prove to be? #aflwgrandfinal #AFLWFinals
There is not a single article on the @theage website front page, and only one on the @ABC about the #AFLWFinals #AFLWGF tomorrow.
@theage has space for multiple articles about the AFLM draft, but not a peep about AFLW.
It's a major national sport, with more followers than ever. There were multiple sell-out games this season, including the upcoming #AFLWGF. The players and teams work so, so hard, and it shows, but the media is failing to provide coverage, I can only imagine because they don't see it as important.
Lowest disposal efficiency in an AFLW final…
50.2% - NORTH MELBOURNE (PF 2022B)
50.2% - Brisbane (GF 2017)
50.5% - Adelaide (QF 2017)
51.2% - Westen Bulldogs (GF 2018)
51.9% - Fremantle (QF 2021)
Over the past two years Melbourne's AFLW team has played in three Preliminary Finals, and the winning score in all three has been 5.3.33:
2021 Adelaide 5.3 d Melbourne 1.9
2022A Melbourne 5.3 d Brisbane 4.5
2022B Melbourne 5.3 d North Melbourne 2.4
