Macarthur Flames

🚨 GRAND FINAL: THAT’S A WRAP. 🚨

Not quite the ending we ordered, but WOW did the girls make a game of it. 🔥

🔥 FLAMES 40
BLUEJAYS 46

Going into the fourth quarter there was ONE. GOAL. IN. IT.

Yes. ONE. 😭

The stress? Unnecessary.
The heart rates? Questionable.
The fight from these ladies? UNREAL.

Against a team that went undefeated all season, our ladies produced their best performance against them all year and made them work right until that final whistle.

Today just wasn’t ours.

But every single Flames lady on that court can walk away knowing she gave absolutely everything she had. When the legs got heavy, they kept going. When the pressure was on, they kept fighting. And when there was nothing left in the tank… somehow they found a little more. ❤️‍🔥

And a HUGE shoutout to OUR SIDELINE. 📣

You showed up.
You got LOUD.
And when we needed lifting, you lifted us.

We heard every cheer, every clap and every slightly unhinged sideline yell. 😂

Thank you for being our 8th player today. 🖤❤️

So yes, we leave Grand Final day with silver. 🥈

But we also leave knowing we took the undefeated team to their closest battle of the season and were one goal away heading into the final quarter.

And Bluejays?

Undefeated season + Grand Final win means they’re officially off to Div 6 next year.

Congrats on the promotion, besties. BYEEEEEE. 👋😂

Flames 01… what a bloody season. 🔥

Heads high.
Medals on.
See you next year. 🖤❤️

🔥 OH. IT’S HAPPENING. 🔥

GRAND FINAL DAY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. 🏆

Flames 01 have made it to the BIG ONE and today we have one very important request:

WE NEED BUMS ON SIDELINES. 😂📣

🔥 FLAMES 01 vs BLUEJAYS
⏰ 1:35PM
📍 COURT 17

Fireflies 👋
Flames 02 👋
Flames 03 👋

Yes, YOU.

Put the Crocs in sport mode. Grab the emotional-support iced coffee. Locate your outdoor chair that’s been living in the boot since Round 1.

WE’RE GOING TO COURT 17.

Flames 01 have spent all season showing up for everyone else, so today we’re returning the favour.

And we cannot stress this enough:

🚫 THIS IS NOT A LIBRARY. 🚫

We do not want respectful little golf claps.

We want NOISE.

Intercept? SCREAM.
Goal? SCREAM.
Great feed? SCREAM.
Someone ties their shoelace particularly well?

Honestly, at this point…

SCREAM. 📣😂

Because Flames 01 LOVE a loud sideline.

The energy lifts them.
The noise lifts them.
And when Court 17 starts firing?

🔥 THE FLAMES FIRE UP. 🔥

So show up for the people who have spent the season showing up for you.

Bring the cheers.
Bring the chaos.
Bring your completely disproportionate emotional investment in local netball.

1:35PM. COURT 17.

If someone asks what you’re doing today?

Sorry. Busy.

WE HAVE A GRAND FINAL TO WIN. 😮‍💨🔥🏆

🚨🔥 ONE. SLEEP. TO. GO. 🔥🚨

BESTIES.

Tomorrow.

TOMORROW.

As in… go to bed tonight, wake up, locate your emotional-support caffeine and suddenly it is GRAND FINAL DAY. 😮‍💨🏆

Macarthur Flames 01 are about to play in the GRAND. FREAKING. FINAL.

Are we calm?
No. ❤️

Should we be?
Also no. ❤️

🔥 FLAMES 01 vs BLUEJAYS
⏰ 1:35PM
📍 COURT 17

Now, Flames family…

WE HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT.

Tomorrow we need Court 17 looking less like a netball sideline and more like the entire Macarthur Flames extended family has been summoned for an emergency meeting. 😂

Bring your chair.
Bring your Flames colours.
Bring your emotional-support iced coffee.
Bring your loud friend.
Bring your loud friend’s loud friend.
Bring someone who has never watched netball before and just tell them to yell whenever everyone else does.

WE DO NOT CARE. WE NEED NUMBERS. 💀📣

Because respectfully…

🚨 THIS IS NOT A SILENT SIDELINE HOUSEHOLD. 🚨

We want noise.
We want cheering.
We want the kind of completely disproportionate reaction to an intercept that makes people three courts over wonder what just happened and if we are medicated!😉😘

📣 SHOW UP. GET LOUD. BE THE 8TH PLAYER ON COURT.

These ladies have ONE game left.

One court.

One Grand Final.

And they deserve a sideline that is borderline unreasonable.

So charge your phone.
Hydrate.
Stretch if you’re over 30.
Put the Voltaren somewhere accessible.
And maybe warn your vocal cords that tomorrow is going to be a difficult day for them.

ONE. MORE. SLEEP.

Then we go.

🔥 COURT 17. 1:35PM. 🔥

Alexa, play something with an irresponsible amount of main-character energy.

LET’S GOOOOOOOOO FLAMES! ❤️‍🔥🏆📣

TWO. SLEEPS. 😮‍💨🔥

Oh we are SO close.

Macarthur Flames 01 are officially in their GRAND FINAL ERA and honestly? We’re obsessed. 💅🏆

🔥 FLAMES 01 vs BLUEJAYS
⏰ 1:35PM
📍 COURT 17

The assignment is simple:

SHOW. UP. LOUD. 📣

Bring your people. Wear your Flames colours. Claim some sideline real estate. Lose your voice responsibly.

Because respectfully… a quiet Court 17?

Couldn’t be us. 💀

These ladies have worked HARD to get here and now they’ve got one game left.

One team.
One goal.
One absolutely feral sideline, please. 🔥

2 SLEEPS. LET’S GOOOOOOO FLAMES! ❤️‍🔥🏆

🏉 ROUND 26 FOOTY TIPPING REMINDER 🏉

⏰ Last chance energy is officially kicking in. ⏰

We've reached Round 26, and with just 2 rounds remaining, every single tip could make or break your season.

✔️ Get your tips in before the first game.
🎯 Still hanging onto your Joker? This is your reminder that it expires with the season. No bonus points for taking it home as a souvenir.
📈 The leaderboard is close, and one massive round could completely shake things up.

Whether you're hunting down first place, protecting your lead, or trying to dodge the wooden spoon, it's go time. No more playing it safe.

Good luck, tipsters! May your bold calls pay off, your upset picks land, and your Joker finally gets the workout it's been waiting for. 💙💛🔥

🚨 THREE. SLEEPS. TO. GO. 🚨

Apparently we’re adults with jobs, responsibilities, sore knees and a suspicious dependence on caffeine… but are we going to spend the next three days counting down to a netball game like it’s Christmas morning?

ABSOLUTELY. 😂🔥

Macarthur Flames 01 are officially GRAND FINAL BOUND and this Saturday we’re taking on Bluejays for one last dance. 🏆

🔥 FLAMES 01 vs BLUEJAYS
⏰ 1:35PM
📍 COURT 17

And we need YOU.

Bring the family. Bring the friends. Bring the kids. Bring that one mate who has absolutely no idea what’s happening but will yell anyway.

PACK. THE. SIDELINE. 📣

This team lifts when they’ve got people behind them, so we want Court 17 looking VERY red, black and flame-y. ❤️‍🔥

One game. One Grand Final. One last chance to leave absolutely everything out there.

See you Saturday.

LET’S GO FLAMES! 🔥🏆

BECAUSE THE FLAMES ARE GOING TO THE GF. 😮‍💨🏆

Flames 01 walked into today’s Preliminary Final knowing exactly what was on the line.

One game.
One job.
One spot in the GRAND FINAL.

And they DELIVERED. 👏🔥

❤️‍🔥 FLAMES 01 — 49
💙 LCCN — 33

A 16-goal prelim final win and now there’s only one game left.

And a massive thank you to every single person who came out to support our girls today. ❤️

Whether you were watching quietly, clapping from the sideline or internally having approximately 47 heart attacks 😂 — you showed up.

Having our Flames family there matters, and we loved seeing you on that sideline backing our girls through four quarters. 🫶

On court, Flames 01 understood the assignment.

The intercepts. The pressure. The fight. The teamwork. The HEAT. ❤️‍🔥

49–33. PRELIM DONE.

Now say it with us…

🚨 MACARTHUR FLAMES 01 ARE GRAND FINAL BOUND. 🚨

One. More. Game.

One final chance to leave absolutely EVERYTHING out there.

WE’RE GOING TO THE GF, BABYYYYY. 🏆🔥❤️
