Best of luck to the Borough girls!
Should be a good crowd on Sunday. The weather looks good which should help draw a few neutrals through the gates.

Horrible news for Port Melbourne's Laura Wright, injuring her knee on Wednesday nights main training session before the Grand Final and will miss the game and most likely all of 2024.
In a typical low scoring grind, the Borough are VFLW Premiers for 2023!!!
I'll post up my thoughts on the game once I get a chance to re-watch it. Absolutely wrapt with the win.
Is there a way to see which AFLW teams the Port Melbourne players play for?
Hey Sandrige, nice nickname BTW- used to go watch Sandrige all the time as a kid both at training and match day, tough bunch of blokes.
The Port Melbourne players like the men's side have no affiliation with a AFL club (after parting ways with Richmond), therefore they play for Port Melbourne only.
In reply to Hey Sandrige, nice nickname by MegaA
That's really impressive if they managed to win the flag without any AFLW players! I imagine most other teams would have had a fair few AFLW listed players in their squads.
The odds certainly were stacked against Port and its been a helluva performance to win only 3 seasons in.
Fair chance we will lose a few players to the AFLW draft. Caruso after her BOH performance would a huge chance.
