The Coathanger

Fi and Lozz congratulate the Brisbane Lions on their Season 8 Grand Final win and commiserate with the North Melbourne Kangaroos. They wrap up the final Coathanger show for Season 8 with injury news, signings, delistings, coach of the year awards and acknowledge Mon Conti's Best and Fairest win.

Fi and Lozz review the prelims, acknowledge Nic Livingstone on her announcement that she is stepping down from her role as Head of Women's Football, and highlight the Sydney and NSW wins in the W awards. GWS Giant Zarli Goldsworthy won Rising Star, with Swan Ally Morphett just one point behind. Kellie Nolan won community coach of the year and NSW players were well represented in the All Australian side.

Finally, they give their GF predictions and for once, they agree!

Fi and Lozz review the semi finals and applaud the Sydney Swans on their excellent season after bowing out in their match with the Adelaide Crows. Commiserations to the Melbourne Demons who lost to the Geelong Cats despite a 4th quarter charge.

They cover coaching changes and potential player movements, and make bold predictions for next week's preliminary finals.

Fi and Lozz celebrate the Swans' win over the Suns, putting them through to the semi finals next week. Lions beat Crows in a fierce battle and Bombers went down in a valiant fight against the Cats. But the big surprise of the first round of finals for Season 8 was the 41 point margin in North Melbourne Kangaroos' win over Melbourne Dees.

We congratulate Zali Goldsworthy for her big bag of awards at the GWS Gabrielle Trainor Medal awards night, especially the Jacinda Barclay Fearless award.

And we give our predictions for the semifinals.

Swans make finals!

Congratulations to the Swans who have made finals in their second season, having been winless in their first. Surely the most improved team in Season 10! They play Suns in the first week of finals, which is the first time these 2 teams meet this season!

Giants went down to Port Adelaide as we say farewell to champion Erin Phillips. (Come on AFLW! Name that award after her!)

Lozz and Fi cover Rising Stars and tip their hats to the tied leading goal kickers for Season 10: Eden Zanker and Kate Hore. Finally the wait is over and the winner of the Coathanger Tipping Comp is announced along with some familiar names sharing 3rd place.

The Coathanger team sympathise with Zali Goldsworthy who had to pick herself up off the deck during the Giants match against the Suns and Pepa Randall plays her 50th. Swans win against Collingwood and map a pathway to finals! Lozz gets on her soapbox about accessibility at Henson Park and Kiwi adds her 2 cents about fixturing: More in Sydney please!

Finally, Lozz is off the bottom of the tipping comp, Kiwi is in 4th place and Fi and Lozz's mum are neck and neck!

Swans and Giants win, with a fantastic result for the Sydney team. Kiwi joins the pod and she and Fi help locate Lozz on the tipping comp ladder. Needless to say, Lozz's mum is going great guns. Lozz reminisces about her childhood spent at Vic park after a return there on the weekend. 

Kiwi joins the pod and urges everyone to stick around at Sydney's home of women's football, Henson Park, this Sunday, for the Community Cup which will be held directly afterwards.

Coach Donnie Hess, host of Donnie's Disposals, joins Fi to analyse the Round 7 matches for Swans and Giants. A loss for both teams this round. Controversy Corner covers that moment when coaches say the quiet bit out loud and live to regret it. Looking forward to Round 8, Donnie and Fi don't see eye to eye on the Henson Park showdown between Giants and Carlton, but they're on the same page for Swans vs Bulldogs.

Lozz and Fi discuss The Replacements as a possible solution to the Western Bulldogs woes. Remember: Chicks dig scars, but glory last forever! They hail the great Alyce Parker yet again, and tip the hat to Scott Gowans for taking great players to even greater heights and Lozz the Stats Queen notes that for the first time, Swans and Giants have won their respective matches in the same round. Yet again Lozz's mum beats Lozz in the tipping and Fi makes a shocking revelation about the tipping ladder.
