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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
