AFLW: Rd 4 vs North Melbourne

Huge game in the context of the AFLW and finals make-up.  Match of the round I'd recon.

I have watched our first two games of the season in recient days.  Standard of the game have been pretty good.  Our ball movement and ball handling has been great and a step above our opponents to date.  Last week against Brisbane our forward line really clicked and we were able to put that dominance on the scoreboard.

From what I can make out, our women's team play a similar game style as the senior men's side - hard contested ball and the good handballs out to running options to play an agressive, attacking forward half brand of football.  Comparitive to some of the other AFLW sides, you can also tell that it's a fairly settled team that has good cohesion and knowledge of how their team mates play.  Was great to seeing the team singing the song with pride and gusto out on the ground at the end of the Lions game.

Looking for more of the same against North - alway good to beat them.

    Some good results last night. 

    Lions ousted Blues from the top two of Conf B.  As GF finalists of the last two years Brisbane are so much more deserving of a finals berth.  They are also more likely to give Conf A teams a challenge during finals.

    Adelaide had a convincing win over Freo which really opens up Conf A.  Win today by more than a few points and we go to second. 

    Interestingly North are not a high scoring side - their excellent %age is on the back of a miserly defence or poor opposition.  In the context of this season North haven't taken a 'scalp' with wins over Carlton, GWS and Bulldogs.  They are gettable!! 

    Needless to say, we must win today to stay in touch with top 2.

    perhaps it needs to stay here a little while post  game as well.

    Anyway a very hot day for it and not much shade at Casey. Will be tough conditions.

    Go Dees... a big match today

    Magpies getting well beaten by the Giants down in Morwell.

    Seems that the Magpies are having continuing difficulties scoring much more than ten points.

    Not that good for the overall comp

    Qtr Time:  Dees 1.0.6 North 1.1.7

    Not much sign the wind is having an impact.  Low scoring but good quality game.

    We need to make Emma Carney accountable - getting too much of the ball.  And btw she has gone to the Joel Selwood school of milking free kicks:  lifts the elbow and hunches the shoulder to draw a high free.

    For some reason we seem to be pushing our forwards a long way up the ground so difficult to get the ball into scoring range.  We played a more balanced field in recent weeks.

    Getting dominated now. By the Roos and the umps. So many soft frees going their way and ones missed we should be getting.

    This umpiring.

    It's the not paying frees that are there. A North goal resulted almost directly from Cat Phillips being held but not paid the free.

    Forget the the standard of AFLW footy, the standard of umpriing is diabolical.

     Very winnable game from here, just need to tighten up. We seem to be going down the boundary a lot and allowing Norf loose players through the middle on the rebound.

    First game I have watched this season, impressed with the standard of disposal, and general play, a couple of great grabs too. Very watchable

    Geez its all about Mo Hope and Norf.

    Hope we pinch this. We're playing just as well, just not finishing in the forward line.

    Umpiring is perplexing

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
