Kangaroos beat Crows 4.8 (32) to 4.7 (31) to secure spot in deciderNorth Melbourne to host Brisbane at Ikon Park on Sunday
North Melbourne have secured their first AFLW grand final berth with a thrilling one-point triumph over Adelaide on Sunday. The Kangaroos led at every change and had all the momentum during the last term but risked paying the ultimate price for wayward kicking when Crows’ midfielder Anne Hatchard booted a goal to make it the barest of margins with less than three minutes remaining.
The Roos then overcame some nervy moments to lock the ball in their forward half and hold on for a 4.8 (32) to 4.7 (31) victory over the Crows in a pulsating clash at Ikon Park. North Melbourne will return to the same venue to host the decider against Brisbane on Sunday 3 December, as they look to complete a finals sweep of their three main challengers in recent seasons and claim a maiden AFLW premiership.
