North Melbourne v Brisbane Lions Highlights | Grand Final, 2024 | AFLW

[@thequartersfooty]

Congratulations to North Melbourne, not only its first AFLW Premiership, a wonderful undefeated perfect season but also the first premiership of any kind for North Melbourne in 25 years.

[@phillipnoone8044]

🥳 Thank you! It feels GOOD!

[@ETsAFL]

Technically incorrect, North Melbourne won the VFLW Grand Final 2024 on July 21st, against Western Bulldogs with a final score of 68-48 and a crowd of 4,000 at Port Melbourne’s ETU Stadium

[@thequartersfooty]

@@ETsAFL That's true, but I was referring to on the AFL level, not state or reserves level. I'm fully aware of Noth Melbourne's VFLW triumph earlier.

[@ETsAFL]

@@thequartersfooty yeah completely fair enough- North’s women’s program is truly elite

[@thequartersfooty]

@@ETsAFL To achieve both State Level & Top Flight premierships in the same season is very rare in the modern era of football, The Kangaroo Ladies done very well in 2024.

[@Leftfield71]

Surely the highlights of a Grand Final should include the lifting of the Premiership Cup.

[@dragonoftheeast695]

Totally agree. 👍 Sometimes they don’t show it for the mens grand final highlights either. I don’t get it at all. 🤔😩 Surely for historical documentation purposes it has to be included in ALL grand final highlights..

[@iankearns774]

Surely the highlights of a Grand Final should include some highlights.

[@banliveexport325]

Only 12k attended, 53k attended an AFLW Grand Final years ago. The game cannot grow at such a small venue.

[@Anonymous-12a]

Ikon park isn’t the problem here, shitty weather, shitty timing and just plain mediocre footy at best are the problems.

[@Comatosedpeanut]

@@Anonymous-12ashitty weather lol, it didn’t rain all night

[@ETsAFL]

You never have anything positive to say, must be sad

[@Anonymous-12a]

@@Comatosedpeanut my bad thought the weather was the reason the scores were shit

[@Anonymous-12a]

@@ETsAFL there isn’t anything positive to say though, also it isn’t sad it’s just being realistic about the current state of the aflw

[@Linda-tv6fn]

It is interesting to note that before the Taxpayer donated $70 Million to Ikon Park the venue had a capacity of 26,000. Today it holds 12,000.

[@Anonymous-12a]

Yeah in order to make money, they don’t drop the number of people allowed to go

[@dragonoftheeast695]

You couldn’t give these comments a rest for the Grand Final could you??? Just couldn’t manage say ANYTHING nice about the wonderful season these incredible women had could you?? You must be unbearable to be around in real life.. Please start balancing out your justified critical analysis with a sprinkle of positivity next season. Please for god sake❕ These outstanding women athletes and administration from EVERY CLUB deserve a round of applause for the hard work and dedication they put in this year. Especially on Grand Final day. And you find it fitting to shit on their parade .. Im very disappointed in you. I feel like the MEN IN MY FAMILY ARE MORE FEMINISTS THAN YOU ARE SAD

[@iankearns774]

Its Carltons training facility, works as a VFL ground as they dont get more than 10,000. Name one AFLW game this year that got more than 5000 at the game without giving tickets away. You may think you would fill Marvel stadium but I doubt it.

[@dragonoftheeast695]

Congratulations North Melbourne. 🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 What an incredible season 🫵👍 Best season by any club in the competitions history.. Well done LIONS 🦁🦁🦁 Yet another successful year❕❕❕❕❕ We are still the measuring stick You’ve earned your rest Enjoy the off season and let’s go in for the kill next year 🤎💛💙🤎💛💙💕💛💙

[@longjohn5322]

It’s hard enough to listen to the commentary on men’s football but the women’s is at another level. “North Melbourne are dominant in every aspect of the game” said in the middle of the period where they kicked 3 goals in 3 quarters which also included a scoreless quarter.

[@denisgeorge549]

@@longjohn5322 it’s easy to be dominant when you don’t have any opponents Brisbane was a absolute disgrace n not a good look for a grand final the game was obvious from the start the umpires should all be sacked n give their payments back talk about one sided and anyone who thinks that was a good came is kidding themselves

[@Linda-tv6fn]

Only 12,122 were able to attend this match because the AFL for some bizarre reason chose Ikon Park over Marvel and the MCG. It is also interesting to note that before the Taxpayer donated $70 Million to Ikon Park the venue had a capacity of 26,000. Today it holds 12,000.

[@Anonymous-12a]

No, only 12,122 people wanted to attend the match, the afl will not spend money booking Etihad or mcg as the costs of the tickets wouldn’t be enough to get any revenue

[@Kylie-dt8rp]

​@@Anonymous-12a LOL yeah exactly the AFL is not prepared to spend any money on the AFLW. The AFL and clubs like Carlton are just using the AFLW to get things like Function Centers paid for by the taxpayer. It a taxpayer rort.

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

Why would you play a Grand Final at a venue that holds anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 when such a small crowd was going to come regardless of the choice of venue? This is North Melbourne that we're talking about. North Melbourne can't even get 12,000 of their supporters to attend their fixtures in the men's competition. This was a good turnout for them. There was nothing wrong with the choice of venue at all.

[@gordopark13]

MCG has been prepared for cricket by now where the Victorian Cricket team play Sheffield shield matches.

[@gordopark13]

@@darrenmiles-morland8038 the main issue is availability of venues. They don’t want to play linear to the men’s competition where the venues are reserved for AFL games.

[@russellatwell784]

Well done to all the girls not just the 21 tonight but all that have been part of this great season it takes a club effort not just a team to reach these heights ,the improvement you all have shown from where the club started over the past couple of years is unbelievable ending with the fantastic result tonight. PS Take another team photo with that cup Emma your hiding in the background.😊

Me neither lmao. I wasn't going to watch anyway but the fact...

Neither. It came up in my recommendations for some reason. It's not far from Christmas? I had no idea they were playing this thing so late in the year. Umm why?

[@toddpowers3085]

Only 12k or the Lions kicking just one goal in an entire game I don't know what was more disappointing. The commentators talking about how good the crowd was talk about AFL puppets. Literally thousands missed out because of the bizarre choice of venue.

[@iankearns774]

I watched a local Under 15s boys Grand Final and I can tell you the boys were faster, kicked as far or further than these ladies and both sides scored 15 goals plus in the game. Both sides would have destroyed these ladies teams and the women want to be professionally paid? Please.

[@SonyCamry]

They deserve equal pay

9 points in a grand final deserve equal pay. Are you serious

This has to be taking the piss, half of them fumble it more often then not, even when not under pressure.

the men already subsidies the league. now you just want to steal mens money. Technically they should actually have to pay the league money, because it costs money

They had to hold the game at a small ground so they wouldent be embarrassed by the thousands of empty seats at a bigger stadium. This aflw is laughable and the commentators gushing over it makes me want to be sick.

[@Robbo3369]

You never really got out of 2nd gear all year Lions & in Grand Final looked as though you were in Park.. A Very disappointing effort.. Nth Melbourne never looked like finishing second.

I would rather go watch the Amateur league . Womens footy is going to die a slow Death.

[@pineapple9332]

Theses ALFW have improved a lots the past three years. My team former mate Darren Jarmen at Gaza doesn't like congested football game and it destroyed free flowing game. I blames ALL AFL coaches allow that to happen when Saves and Wallace started that crap styles

That game was an absolute joke n they think women should be paid the same as men I don’t think so if u call that a grand final 39 to 9 Brisbane should of left for the airport at 1/2 time n the umpire done they no favours I thought they were Aus kick umpires I really can’t believe that anybody I don’t care who u support can say that was an exciting game to watch like a grand final should be

[@pineapple9332]

I already emailed to AFL department these umpire number 4 vwas a jokes against Adelaide. There so many players jumping over their back, it mind boggling. North Melbourne deserve to win and YES you correctbthey will not get EQUAL pay as men.

[@sunild1950]

I really try hard to watch AFLW...sorry Y A W N...consequently walk out of games or turn off. And I watch from another Country. Dont know what the answer is. When i was in Aus, i turned out week After week to watch my female colleague play. The play is constantly stuck on one side of the ground or moves around like a swarm of Bees 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 So there very " Attractive" to watch. Its nog a gender issue for me ( if you are wondering ) I have paid 'squillons' to watch a Tennis match between Navratalova and Evert or Evert-Lloyd...and I would still. Maybe they could 'tweak the game' a touch for AFLW. ??? Another thing These women appear less fit ( Why??), maybe they should train with a senior Boys team that dont hold back or with mixed teams from their respective reserves ...I am a Saints member of some 25 years, but have now left Australia to retire. But still watching and Attending when i visit Aus. I'd give AFLW 5 years max to hit its straps...in the mean time I will continue to relax in the Sun 😊

[@pwilliams6405]

Sorry what a shitty ground to play a Grand final at ! To the left big stadium filled with supporters To the right a giant office block from pocket to pocket ! There must be other grounds that could have been used ? Marvel Geelong or the Western oval

[@Anonymous-12a]

I mean they have the home team play at their ground so it makes sense to play it there, marvel is too large for this sport , why go to Geelong I don’t think north Melbourne supporters would make the trip, and where’s western oval

[@chloeew4627]

Once again another thrilling game of woman’s footy.😂😂 just like last year. Horrible score line and lots of empty seats . One goal in four quarters is simply pathetic.Great for netball and beach volleyball 😊

[@Anonymous-12a]

At least with netball I know I’ll have a more interesting game lol

[@gryjss9167]

Wow 8.5k views. Seriously, go away AFLW, no one gives a crap anymore. It's a waste of people's time and tax payer dollars. It's beyond a joke.
