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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
