“I think it was Nelson Mandela who said, ‘I don’t lose, I win or learn’. For us, we really learned from the two (lost) games against Brisbane and Melbourne. That has helped with the resilience of the group.

“We got to three-quarter time last week as well and our backs were really up against it. To turn it around and put on 5.2 in the last quarter shows that we’re capable of winning games the way that we want to.”

Brisbane Lions coach Craig Starcevich said:

“Adelaide probably play a similar style to us … they are no-fuss in how they get the ball forward and they like it in close … they’re a highly respected opponent, we had a great clash with them a couple of weeks ago, and anyone who has watched AFLW will be in for a bit of a treat. It’s going to be a tough game.”
