Seems like a fairly good draw for us. Round 2 and back-to-back interstate Round 3 & 4 very important. Actually, every round is very important but I think our team learned that the most out of anyone else in the AFLW this year. Might put us in good stead. Much like the men's, hopefully just falling short motivates that little extra something in 2018.

 

Anyone else disappointed that there'll be no double-headers this year? I thought it was a good way for fans to see two games in a day, and for the AFLW to motivate supporters to come along when they otherwise might not.

That is a really friendly draw for us.  Playing the Crows at home should give us a solid chance against them.  If we knock them over then it could very well be a top of the table clash in round 6 against Carlton (I really rate Carlton this season).

Feb 24 in Alice Springs at 5.40! 

Does the AFL know what the temperature is like there at that time of year?

And on top of a 6 day break coming back from Fremantle, then another 6 day break after the Alice Springs game. 

 

Good catch.  That Brisbane game suddenly looks a lot more challenging.

The thing about such a short season is that a run of tough games ends up being half the season! It must go past in the blink of an eye. I guess everyone's in the same boat (more or less). Just really hoping we hit the ground running this year.

Do you have to ‘buy’ tickets to these games, or just show up and scan your demons membership card or just walk in?

They were previewing the opening round of the AFLW on SEN today and I'm sure I heard it's free admission to all games except the round 2 Freo game in Perth against the Pies where they will charge $1or $2 for entry to the new stadium.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
