People invest in the women’s game for a few reasons. For some just the presence of a MFC jumper is enough; personally for me I just think it’s important that the competition succeeds for the good of t

I am only interested in watching the dees play (and the grand final). But that largely applies to the men too. I  don't mind the low scoring and different skill level. I look at as different game

Everyone, including the AFL admin, have to get over making scores happen in AFLW! Its not the same game! Low scores make for great contests... That's CONTESTS!!! Accept that the scores will be lower.

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.

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!

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
