Happy Grand Final week everyone!

Could Tayla Harris play a sacrificial ‘decoy’ role in this Saturday’s AFLW big dance and get the win for the Dees? Who can stop Marinoff? Is this Daisy Pearce’s last game? And can the Crows complete the fairytale ending??

We also cover the wash up of the two preliminary finals and make our predictions for the Best and Fairest medal in our penultimate season 2022.
