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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
