Richmond AFLW captain Katie Brennan says her side "can't wait to attack" Saturday's do-or-die final against North Melbourne.
The Tigers drew with the Kangaroos two weekends ago to earn the double chance, an experience Brennan believes will hold the group "in good stead" in this weekend's semi final.
"It was really tough game against the Kangaroos last time to get that draw, they're a hell of a team and they put up a good fight," Brennan said.
"It felt like a finals-like game for us, it felt like our first taste of finals, regardless of it being a Round 10 game.
"And you take a lot of growth from that, from the intensity from the contest, and from their ability to come back."
After managing a foot injury through season seven, Brennan demonstrated her standing as one of the league's top players by kicking all three of Richmond's goals in the qualifying-final loss to Brisbane.
Brennan now feels she is no longer a week-by-week proposition with the foot problem.
"It's been a bit of a challenging one this (season), but I've been so well supported by our medical team," she said.
"We always have a joke that they'll have to hold me back - and I will just grab a jersey and get out there anyway.
"I'm bullish about playing every game going forward and again, the medical team has done an incredible job, to manage the foot."
Tiger Meg Macdonald was successful in shutting down Kangaroos star Jasmine Garner last time the two sides met.
"Meg has played an enormous role for us, week in, week out," Brennan said.
"She earned her position in the team (with) just such a selfless act, by tagging the most respected opposition player in every team she's played so far.
"She did an incredible job on Jasy Garner, who is one of the best players in the competition.
"No doubt Meg's magnet will be up there, but it will also be a bit of a team role, to be able to support Meg - play our game, but shut down some of their weapons."
