We win by a point.

You would be a terrible coach. Every act on the field is important for the team. Goodwin understands this and won’t play Garlett who doesn’t do the defensive pressure acts.

A great goal. Every bit as skilful as Sheed’s but probably more complex. She doesen’t have the same strength in her leg as a man would under the same circumstances and the women’s preseason is much shorter than the men’s. This ultimately leads to the women having less feel for the footy and their skills suffer.

The women’s game suffers because people are critical of the skills. I have tried to highlight a great goal please don’t try and reduce the importance of it.

    No you compared it to something.....  I never said it wasn’t a great goal. @Wrecker45

    I compared it because they kicked their goals from very similar spots.

    If Wayne Halmes knocks the ball in to win a gf I will call it Jetta like.

    If Malcolm Blight kicks a barrel from the wing I will call it Jayden Hunt like.

    When a female footballer slots a goal to keep us alive in the premiership race I will praise her. I bleed red and blue and embrace the female football team because of the colours they wear that flow through my veins.

    I understand your simplistic idea thatDom Sheed’s goal was better due to the point in the match and likely outcome. But that means you put greater weight on minutes later in the game when every minute influences the outcome.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      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 Salem   

      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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
