I am watching it now and Go Dees. Some serious talent there. Mo Hope for the dogs is a gun, and Cale Morton is also playing well.

I was wondering the same thing...Well done for starting thread.

Ugh.

 


Thought more would be chatting about our Dee ladies.  Playing with poor delivery to the forwards, always seems were are outnumbered down there :)  sounds familiar.

 

I am watching it too and enjoying it.

The women certainly put to bed the notion that it takes years to learn a game plan. 

Exiting, attacking footy which will only improve when the league takes off next year and games become more regular.

Also no one has played for a free/ducked their head yet....

Geez, we're losing both Harris and Frederick-Straub from our forward line, to the marquee players rule. Annoying, because it looks like good marks are the main premium type.

There doesn't seem to be any of the bullsh*t umpiring decisions in this game either!

Must have been taking lessons off Jessie

It's spelt 'Jesse'. If you're going to have a dig at him, at least know how to spell his name.

Taylor Harris kicks further than Hogan......

Was just thinking that myself. She is a booming kick, and has magnificent hands also. Bloody good looking too. A face that sells memberships.

Shame she is a Lion now.

That Dees defender that signed with the Crows as a marquee player doesn't take any crap. Quite tough and physical.

 


Brilliant, I am a convert. Exceptional skills, players playing to position. This is not girls footy it is women's footy and it is fantastic to watch. Best thing that has happened to football for a long time. Transformational.

Yeah strange we didn't try to get her as a marquee player? 

I'm really concerned my AFL season stress will continue to the women's format..... Usually summer is a time for me to unwind!

Has he transitioned?

Have to agree - exciting game, quite different from the men's game. Hopefully it'll go from strength to strength.

I would like to have had Harris. She is fantastic.

This is the best of the best playing for 2 teams. Once the talent is spread out it won't be nearly as good to watch.

This game is a good spectacle though.

Tayla Harris is a Queenslander, so probably natural that she'd go to the Lions.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
