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!

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
