This is boring. I can’t get into 4 goals in a half in perfect conditions.

Men, Women, Aliens, doesn’t matter... boring.

I watched three quarters of last nights game. There was only 5 goals in total for whole game.

At present it is not as good as surburban reserves.

How does this quality get TV coverage?

    because at the moment it's as good as it gets?

    it's a female spin-off of the biggest sporting competition, and it's in modern times

    i guarantee you the quality of football in 1898 was probably lower than this

    in 130 years i'm sure our offshoots of offspring will be marvelling at the skill level on show

    (but yes, it's borderline unwatchable...like watching the male dees circa 2007-2013)

    Thanks for that DA I have Been trying desperately to forget 2007- 13.

    The difference is that during that period one of the teams in the contest was good and watchable. In Ladies football they are both crap.

    my question still stands how come this is on National TV?

    Go Pickles Cranston !!!!!!  What a great last half. 

    With Daisy, was the match winner for us.

    They had a real physical crack in the last too.

    I enjoyed that. Stuff the lower quality skills, the Dees had a WIN!

    Because it directly appeals to a huge portion of the population.  Women and girls get to see people just like them doing something that that may now aspire to do.  They, in turn, buy jumpers, membership and merchandise; they attend matches and join local teams; they get more involved in the men’s game when winter comes along.  The AFL isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their heart- they’re going to make a lot of money out of this brand of football.

     

    On top of that, this was a great match and we have a really good win!  Get on board!

    That game was so much better than the rubbish last night. 

    Great to see the Demons get better later in the game. 

    So often the girls run out of energy in the 2nd half

    Great win girls! 4 goals from free kicks to the orange mob. I see the AFL love fest is alive at all levels of footy.

    We should [censored] both of them- our ball movement is a class above.

    I'm not the greatest fan of AFLW  (as a spectacle), but our team wears red and blue, and that's enough for me!  I even found myself yelling at the box this afternoon, and cursing at the umpires on more than one occasion.  I must be warming to it!  Well done Demons!

    I thought Erin Hoare was fantastic today.

    Well done Dees, I feared for a while GWS have become our "Norf" in the ladies game....but that song at the end. Ahhhh!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
