    Only the AFL would think it good practice to run the flagship female competition of a winter sport in the hottest part of the dayĀ through the hottest part of the year. Whilst some of the players would be considered elite athletes, a number are very young or in lesser condition. Surely there are OH&S issues in play here.

    I was at Casey Fields for a kids clinic a couple of weeks ago on a mid-20s day and it was seriously hot there. There is no shade and most likely no breeze. It will be a furnace on Sunday. Good luck to the players and those who are keen enough to attend.

    Jakobsson forward threw me a little as with paxman in the backline. I actually like the womens game even if the skills are some what lacking but I can't question the endevour they show when playing.

    Looking forward to watch the match on TV here in the west.Ā  The game last night was of two very different standards.Ā  Pies didn't look good against a very young and new side.Ā  The other game was much better in skill.

    Send ā€˜The Doctorā€™ over 72. Not sure what kind of spectacle weā€™ll get today, especially ifĀ the wind matches the heat.Ā 

    The AFL mustĀ have a valid reason for not scheduling a Friday night fixture on opening round.

    I'll be doing the same in Canberra '72.

    I actually thought the standard of Bulldogs vs Crows last night was a significant notch up on anything I've seen previously in AFLW.Ā  I hope our girls can match it!

    Now while I did not watch butĀ  They scored three goals between them for the entire match, seems like the saga of ladies games continues to me.

    I did however watch the second half of the Cats / Pies game and it was crap. Just a series of scrums up and down the ground with the occasional kick going 40 meters. Those two teams have a very long way to go before you could call it a entertaining sporting event.

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and theyā€™ve laid out where he fits in under Steve Kingā€™s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven MayĀ 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian SalemĀ  Ā 

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
