Grand Final glory for Considine and the Crows

Ailish Considine has won a second AFLW Premiership medal after the Adelaide Crows claimed a 29-16 Grand Final win over Melbourne Demons at the Adelaide Oval.

The Clare player started as an interchange player but racked up a tackle, a mark and three disposals during her time on the pitch.

While there was delight for Considine, there was disappointment for Dublin's Sinead Goldrick who was outstanding for the Demons in front of a crowd of 16,712. As well as three tackles, she made four clearances – joint best for Melbourne.

The result ensures that the Crows are the undoubted dominant force of the AFLW having claimed three of the five Premiers since its inception since 2017.

Adelaide had controlled the first half and were rewarded with goals from Jasmyn Hewett and Erin Phillips, but Melbourne made sure the deficit was only 10 at the main break thanks to a second-quarter goal from Alyssa Bannan.

Danielle Ponter struck back for the Crows early in the third quarter and although Kate Hore replied with a goal for the Demons, Ponter nabbed another in the fourth quarter to seal a 13-point win and the title.
