Watching parts of last night’s game where North Melbourne gave last year’s premiers a whipping, I can’t see anyone else getting near them. How did they get to assemble such a strong side in no time?

    It stinks but they have been able to buy a flag ( presuming they win ) in their first year. Current clubs had to give north and geelong some players including a top ranked player. If the 4 clubs entering the comp next year can do the same the situation is effed. They shouldn't be expanding again next year or even for the next 5 years.

    Yep. Every other club was furious about how Norf went about recruiting. Says it all really.

    Well, I'll be there. It's going to be a bit strange barracking against a few girls I've coached. Any other QLD Dees planning on attending?

    We need to win.  We are in the strong conference group. Look at the percentage between the two.  Its seems to come out completely loop sided.

    If they had the same conference system back in the day when Mark Neeld was coaching us, we would have been a chance to make the finals.

    No we wouldn't...

    That Freo win against Collingwood has not done our finals chances any good.

    As others have mentioned there seems to be some disparity between the two conferences

    Very scrappy vs the pies last week.  Very clean this week. 

    There has been some really good marking, overlap play and short stab passes to position.  And our defensive structures are holding up really well.  For a change we have kicked more goals than points.

    It will be a good win and a very good percentage boost (if I haven't spoken too soon...).

    Well, that experiment didn't last long...the game isn't over yet. 

    I opened the thread from the main board and by the time I finished the post the thread had been moved.  I reckon regular AFLW posters are still watching the game...

    Terrific team performance today. I thought Pearce was best on, she was brilliant and dominant all day. 

    Bring on Norf, the only downer was Cunningham on report.

    The joke of the conference system is shown in the ladder.

    If this was the final round Carlton and Brisbane from Conference B would be playing in the finals (as the top two teams in Conf B).  Yet they are below all of the teams in Conference A.  Its embarrassing. 

    It was rather dumb of the AFL to put the last two premiers in the same conference and Melbourne as a recognised strong team in that same conference.

    It’s not a good look at all. Carlton won their first game in 12 months this weekend and are currently holding down a finals spot.

    I think they just need to make a few rule changes for next season and everything will be ok.

    So 'Lucifer', I haven't been keeping a close eye on this at all.

    How does the conference system work?

    For some reason I thought that conference A teams just play other teams in conference A then the top teams in each conference play off???

    ...but it seems you just play anyone????

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
