well that was bloody enjoyable

nice to see footy without the rugby scrum. good skills

and better still, the dees win....yay

Marking and kicking skills were good for both teams. Handballing and awareness of being about to be tackled were the weakest points I thought.

yep marking and especially kicking were a feature

picking the ball up cleanly off the ground the weakest aspect generally

oh, and some of the tackling was excellent

Wow. Seriously? This is the level of Demonland now?

Total lack of respect shown to the girls by this website.

Even the thread title is a disgrace.... The other game... Why not MFC woman's game Demons Vs Bulldogs?

How hard is it to show our own club the respect it deserves.

My silly comments were made in jest of course but I am glad Stuie managed to pick me up on it.

As for the game.

Great spectacle,and a very good standard of footy.

Well umpired and highly watchable .

Hope to see more of it.

Fairly brutal watching girls crack their heads open I must say but FULL respect to both teams.

Sounds a bit like "I'm not racist, but...."

Exactly the same.

The league cut the game by 90 seconds in the last quarter. No idea why. Even the commentary team was caught unawares. They said there was two minutes to go and then said "No its only 18 seconds" The clock still showed 90 seconds. No respect to these players. It was a very enjoyable game.

The game was running behind time. There was an obligation to finish the woman's game by a given time (for the start of the main match), probably a broadcaster stipulation.

Yes but the reason I have been told is that the Men required 1 hour warm up. FFS as if 90 seconds was going to make a difference. Should have dumped Mike Fitzpatrick's insipid presentation speech saying how surprised he was that it was "tough". Annoyed a fair few players with that patronising quip. You wonder about the AFL. 170 odd new teams registered this year. That's a hell of a growth rate which should be getting the AFL excited given the problems they are experiencing.

i don't see anything wrong with saying how surprised he was that it was tough

unless you have anything against honesty

i found it tougher than i had expected, and that is in no way patronising

we all know it is get fitzpatrick week, but to hang him on that comment is being over zealous

as for the excuse over the lost 90 seconds. pathetic by the afl. i bet the doggies were impressed with less than a kick in it

you only have to ask yourself if it was an afl double header, would they have cut the game short.....no fn way

Typical superior white male condescending attitude.

I've come to expect nothing less!!

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
