Craig Starcevich on his career coaching women's football and going back-to-back with the Brisbane Lions

The Brisbane Lions are adamant they won't be overawed by the occasion tomorrow of playing in the first AFL Women's final to be held at the hallowed MCG.

Kate O'Halloran answers all of your questions, including where and when the games are, how to watch and who will win. 

It's easy when their coach, or leader of the Pride, is as calm and measured as they come.

Craig Starcevich has been around footy for a long time.

He played 144 AFL games for Collingwood and later the Brisbane Bears, before going on to play a pivotal role in the Brisbane Lions' (AFL men's) three-peat premiership as their physical performance manager.

But perhaps his greatest legacy will be his impact on the women's game in Queensland.

«He has been such an inspiration to a lot of girls to pick up the footy in the first place,» Lions premiership defender Nat Grider told ABC Sport.

«He is amazing for what he's done for women's footy in Queensland.

»He's been here right from the get-go; he's been a massive advocate to get us started and to get us where we are now.

«A lot of credit does go back to him.

»We go out there every weekend playing for him."

Starcevich last month became the first AFLW coach to reach the 50-game milestone.

And the fire is still lit for the 54-year-old, who remains the longest-serving coach in the competition.

«I love what we're doing,» Starcevich said.

«We've built something on a blank canvas basically and I'd love to see it through to the end.»

It's hard to put a ceiling on the Brisbane Lions' AFLW side, who under Starcevich's six-year tenure have been to three grand finals, boast a 32-17 win/loss record, finished in the top three in four out of the six seasons and won a premiership in 2021.

No club has ever gone back-to-back, but Starcevich said
