Harriet Cordner at 177cm named in the ruck.....

    Be interesting to see if Daisy starts on the HBF. Bacline looks a little weak so may be there for experience. Forward line looks pretty good. Big fan of Cunninham. I suppose Cordner in ruck doesn't make a lot of sense but O'Dea and paxman speak for themselves.

    With no true ruck available, Cordner/Zanker/Scott it is for now. In retrospect we were lucky to get away with 1 ruck in the last few seasons. We'll no doubt be looking to develop L.Pearce's eventual replacement sooner rather than later.

    As for this game...if it's open and free-flowing, we're probably doomed. A scrap is the only way I can see us getting over the line, we're really up against it. Maybe Casey conditions can help us instead of hindering for once! Looking forward to seeing some new players and the continued development of the rest. Go Dees!

    Yep Nth Melb looks v strong.  Emma King will dominate ruck (with Saad?) so our midfield needs to plan for that.  Ash Riddell is underrated by the media and with Kearney and Garner it will be tough in there.  
    Hopefully all our  girls returning from injury are right to go.  Looking forward to seeing Gabby Colvin, Irish girl Goldrick and Captain Daisy get out there and show us their best.   You never know.  Go Dees.

    It really is a remarkable comeback by Daisy. Giving birth to twins 12 mths ago and how much her body would have changed and tonight at 1/2 time they showed a story on her coming back. She was at 94kgs after giving birth and has got her body back to footy fitness. You can sense how much the players love having her back and she is a great leader for our club.

    Those goalposts look like they are about to blow away.

    North just looking far more speedy and skillful in first quarter. Did look like they were kicking to scoring end  so hopefully its a better 2nd quarter.

    Casey Fields really does needs some more stands and sun protection to improve standard of play and make it more comfortable for spectators.

    Really disappointed in Fox commentators... haven't mentioned the gale having any effect on inside 50's... all over Nth in first Q... patronising garbage! Surprise, surprise… Dees hit back in second Q with the wind... no mention of that being a factor by lame-brain commentary. No mention of dubious first 50m penalty by female Ump (just plain wrong!) which led to a goal… no discussion of double 50 metre penalty which also resulted in a North goal... I expected the Dees to hit back well in second Q. They will have to work very hard to limit Nth in the 3rd or it's game over!

    Emma Kearney is the Joel Selwood of AFLW. Lifts her arm to make tackles high.

    There was a critical game we lost narrowly last season (or one before?) where she won a free in that fashion to goal and effectively win the game. Nearly kicked in the TV and shouted your words exactly!

    We didn’t get advantage there....why???

    Great result for Dees! Great return for Daisy! With several players to return during the season... look out Dees!

    I’m happy for the women to get the win but I had to switch it off at half time. 
     

    If you insert the letter ‘U’ into AFLW you know what you get.

    Really important win, given our injuries and the opponent. Hopefully sets us up for a good season.

    Loved the win. Could have been a bigger win if not for the 50s and advantage that wasn't allowed.

     though Pearce was good in the 1st quarter but was wasted behind the ball after that. Especially in the 2nd and 4th when we had the wind.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
