State Of Origin - AFLW

Featured Replies

Posted

It is on this Saturday night.  Free Entry.  FTA on Ch7. 

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-31/take-no-prisoners-in-aflw-state-of-origin-clash

The Demons have two players in the Allies team:  Elise O’Dea and Bianca Jakobsson

We have four plays in the Big V.  including the Vic Captain, our Daisy.  The others are:  Karen Paxman, Melissa Hickey, Lily Mithen

Most on here are over football but it might be a good distraction from our recent debacle.

It would be great if the mods leave this thread on the main board so DL can be aware it and post to it during and post game. 

Should be a good spectacle.

Go Vics!

 

I really like the womens footy. Be good if vic win even though my favourite player is Elise O'Dea.

One of my favourites too! Go the Big V though!

 

Where's the crowd?

Was watching 360 last night and they were talking up numbers of 22k+.

Have they hired GWS's fans?

Very, very poor promotion by the AFL.  Free entry but no one knew it was on!

I thought it was pretty clear. 

The news even got to Perth!

Maybe fans not onboard just yet?

Perhaps they are waiting for the 'proper' AFLW season. 

Or else they are all lazy like me and watching it from my comfortable warm couch, rather than confront the freezing Melbourne winter/spring...

Daisy top possession winner Q1.

Did you hear Debbie Lee:  "We don't get nervous, we get ready!"  Hire her!!

Cryptic?

She is an MFC employee...

...I get your point...have Deb rev up the men so that they turn up for the 1st quarter...

They are at the storm game. 

No I dont know, I mean a year ago they probably would have had half. I didnt think the crowd is to bad. 

But yeah I'm home watching it flicking between that and the storm. 

But seriously how good is Daisy? Just leads form the front and goes in hard. 

Its also nice to see the vic jumper on the field again. 


Can we clone a male version of Daisy?

a true leader who just leads her team well, doesn't go missing, kicks goals and dominate a midfield. 24 touches and a goal in the  1st half

Its also nice to see hair buns on the footy field that don't look out of place. 

She is a gun, the standard hasn't been to bad either.


Vics were relentless. Now that's how you close out a game!

I may have had my red-and-blue glasses on, but what I saw from the MFC players on both sides bodes very, very well for next season. As good as Daisy is, and she's a cut above pretty much everyone, the next tier on our list is nothing to sneeze at either.

A good friend of my wife's was playing in the AFLW last season and was courted by the MFC and one other club.  She 's been retired from footy for a couple of years, back cameback when the league got up and running.  The MFC were very keen on her signing on, but she chose the other club as the MFC had drafted a 'very strong team for the future' and she didn't think she'd get much of a run.  There's a lot to get excited about with our womens list.

The standard was better than last season. The skill level is a notch better, especially the kicking. 

Daisy was brilliant. Won a ton of ball, burst away from packs, hit up leading targets, chimed in with a nice running goal and was clearly the best player out there. If only we could have a male version of her in our mens team our midfield would be set! She's a gun and a great role model.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
