The first ever AFLW Grand Final will take place next Sunday at the Adelaide Oval and after the Crows smashed a hapless Geelong in last night's preliminary final, they will take home advantage into the showpiece event against Carlton.
On the scoresheet in the 11-7 (73) to 1-1 (7) victory was Clare woman Ailish Considine.
The Kilmhil native joined the South Australian outfit back in September, after being snapped up at the CrossCoders International Rookie Camp in Melbourne and featured in five of her side's six group wins setting up last night's semi with the Cats.
In truth, the result was never really in doubt, with a rampant Crows side already out of sight when Considine kicked the home side into a 42-0 lead just before three-quarter time.
That brought her personal tally for the season to three goals, having grabbed herself a couple in the final in the Paddy's weekend mauling of Melbourne.
Considine will look to become the first Irish woman to be part of a title-winning team and her and her teammates will go in firm favourites to overcome the 4-3-0 Blues.

They seemed happy enough with themselves it has to be said.
We can't quite spot Ailish in the above video, but no doubt she was singing her wee Banner heart out.
Amongst the Irish recruits to the Australian game for this season was Mayo woman Sarah Rowe, who talked to Maurice on our Three Man Weave podcast this week, giving a fascinating insight into the day-to-day goings on at Collingwood Magpies and what she thinks the Ladies GAA could learn from their Australian Football cousins.
Ireland currently has five representatives playing in the ten-team league, which is due for expansion next season. Aside from Considine and Rowe, Donegal player Yvonne Bonner joined up with Mayo's Cora Staunton at Greater Western Sydney whilst Tipperary's Aisling McCarthy turned out for the Western Bulldogs.
