Tonight, Seven’s own Daisy Pearce and her Melbourne Demons will play host to the Adelaide Crows in a Grand Final re-match, with the winner progressing through to the preliminary finals, from 7.00pm AEDT on 7mate and 7plus.
Then, minor premiers the Brisbane Lions will take on Richmond in the next qualifying final from 4.00pm AEDT on Saturday, live on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus, before the Geelong Cats battle North Melbourne in a do-or-die elimination final from 7.00pm AEDT on 7mate and 7plus.

Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: “Last weekend’s finish to the home-and-away season was an absolute thriller and the AFLW Season Seven finals series promises to keep us on the edge of our seats.
“While Brisbane firm as the favourites, Round 10 showed us that no side can be discounted from premiership contention. The race is wide open.
“Once again, we have assembled a talented, experienced, and highly respected AFLW on-air line-up, including current and former players, who know the game better than anyone else,” he said.

It will be the first Aussie Rules match at the brand new Brighton Homes Arena at Springfield in Brisbane’s outer southwest.

It was originally meant to look like this. They must have ran out of money to make the stand follow around like originally planned

Where is this?
You can see a gap under the light tower - so it’d have only been a bit of covered standing room, not the stand wrapping around. Given the practicality of poking a light tower up through the roof they probably smartly just left it off, seems like it’d give them more flexibility for those they use it.
Looks really nice though - glad this solution was possible instead of hosting the Grand Final in Cairns or some of the other proposals.

It is in Springfield, Ipswich. It will be hosting Modern Pentathlon at the 2032 Olympics.

Regarding the return of a Sunday morning AFL show, it would be great. No word yet if it will be AFL Game Day.
A few comments on the TVTonight site all say the same thing. That Seven really should have more AFL shows, being the home of the AFL. A few years ago, Game Day and Talking Footy disappeared. Sure, they have The Front Bar, but that’s more entertainment than a proper panel show. While Nine still has The Sunday Footy Show and Footy Classified (twice a week).

My opinion of Gameday was it was just a poor mans Sunday Footy Show. Not as entertaining, funny or insightful as what Nine were and are offering, although I suspect Seven were targeting a much younger audience.
No doubt they need a bigger presence in supplementary AFL shows but I hope what they end up with is a bit less underwhelming than the old Gameday.
