---------------------------------------------------

Was apprehensive about this week's previewย after Round 5's loss to GWS, but it brings me great joy to sayย that Carlton lost against Freo. This is the first step in our last attempt at making the granny. Ifย Adelaide lose in Round 7 and we win against freo then we willย have made it toย a Grand Final position.

We MUST outshine our performances in Rounds 2, 3 and 4 and really bring it to Adelaide otherwise we are officially done for the season and next week's match against Fremantle won't count for much.

Adelaide are a good team, we all know the hype surrounding Erin Phillips and Sarah Perkins. I've got the feeling though that with their backs against the wall, Daisy & Co will take it up a level and get the chocolates. Dais is much better than Erin and I hope to christ she puts this on display for the National TV audience on a Saturday night. Perkinsย is a good forward, so I'm not sure the best defensive approach for her. Expose her lack of fitness or put either a Duryea or Rocky on her and curb her impact? Must also watch out for Chelsea Randall, she's like their Karen Paxman.

We don't play well in the wet, but this will be muggy conditions and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the players wearing gloves.

Shelly Scott is back in the team this week after she stuffed her shoulder, we really missed her last week. We'reย also going to play Elise Strachan, hope to see some of that brilliant kicking action.

It's a big event for Adelaide in that a large number of their list actually live in Darwin and don't train week to week with the rest of the players in Adelaide. They will want to put on a show in their 2nd home town, but I think this is their biggest weakness. While Bec Goddard may have been coaching well up to this point, that group surely would not have the close, tight-knit bond that the Dees girls do and we might just have that added edge of wanting to play for each other just that bit extra.

Melbourne to get the win over the Crows. Hopefully by a large amount to boost percentage.

Go Dees - let's keep the premiership hopes alive.

P.S. Great videos of Irish and Rocky this week on the website.

What an embarrassment. Tuned in because of the Melbourne brand. Seen better skills and composure at half time from the little league.ย 

We are back in it,ย the endeavour is great but geeย the skill level is E grade suburban.ย 


Sometimes I find myself wondering just how different a game it will be even as soon as next season. There'll be twice as many players to pick from, a full year of development and ambition, clubs will now know the value they can get from it, the investment will be much greater... the games will likely open up a lot more as the share of terrible kicks and mishandlings gets cut back.

More immediately, I'm just hoping that the second half will be unrecognisably improved for us, compared to the first!

ย 

Talk about rubbish umpiring we have pinged twice for so called incorrect handballs under pressure in a minute. Each time the player got hand to ball.ย 

12 frees to 6 - absolutely disgraceful umpiring.

Skills not amazing either.

But nice to be winning.


Awsome work from defense to result in that goal!

Go dees!

How good is the little pocket rocket Newman for us! Her run down tackle that wasn't paid is an absolute joke!

She has got some serious wheels. Enjoying this game. Jazzy Griersen gets better every week

So many dropped chest marks!ย 


Great work by Newman. Classy gather and goal!

Newman! Goal.ย

It's been a disgraceful display to 3/4 time dazzle. So many throws and incorrect disposals not paid against the Crows

Fantastic win girls! Against the odds. The Crows had 17 men on the field to 3/4 time also ???

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
