Is it just me or are the umps paying frees that wouldn't be paid in the mens game. Just let the game flow.

The girls must have been watching the mens tapes from last year.  Dominating inside 50 more scoring shots but inaccurate

It's not you but put in perspective the conditions are contributing to quite a few head highs. If they are there, then pay them.

Dominating but only two goals up, hopefully wasted opportunities don’t hurt us.

 

It’s too early to start kicking couches. Playing so well, just get some reward. 


Dees 12 scoring shots to 1 and a 32-6 lead. 

Good pressure and good wet weather footy.

It’s ours unless the Dogs can kick 5 goals in the last quarter... highly unlikely given the conditions.

Well, this all seems to be going according to plan.  Just scrape our way through the first few rounds until we get some match fitness into our underdone players and get Lauren Pearce & co back.

On a side note, it does seem to be an AFL tradition to in some way make a mess of the women's fixture/ladder.  I love that after the roud one win we were out of the 'conference' qualifying line, while the team we beat managed to be inside their conference qualifying group.

But the quirks of the fixture means it would be very valuable to pile on a few more goals late in this game and try to bury the Bulldogs, particularly given their first game percentage surge.  It's a genuine 8-point game and in a short season percentage is much more likely to play a part breaking deadlocks.

been really impressed with our full back gabbie colvin, new player to the club and got her for p77, also the two irish girls have been impressive and will only get better, get on the girls for the flag this year.

Is anyone else confused with the colour clash? Surely we should be wearing the all red back. 

I don't care that there are people out there rubbishing this game.  I enjoyed watching tonight.  Our pressure was great. 

Maybe because it's just great to see Melbourne win if it's the male or female team.

Plus we have some awesome players & a great leader

Great win against pretty good opposition at their home ground. Well done Ladies!


A good win driven with intensity at the ball and good fitness that allowed them to run out he game in difficult wet conditions.

Well done.

Good stuff, Shelley Scott deserved a goal, thought she had a ripper of a game up forward.

Considering the conditions I thought our skills were pretty good. I think the comments from the detractors are so influenced by the male version of the game, they need to put that aside. Often the Woman's game is slower in movement which allows reaction time in the mental game to be enhanced. I think that is why Daisy is so valuable. It always has more positives when you win but I enjoyed the Dees woman's side effort tonight as much for the plan and the execution as anything.

A good win for the ladies. Tackling pressure was great and we stopped the dogs getting any quick clearances. Again Hore was a great contributor and Newman played a great game. Paxman is a class above all others and Daisy was fantastic. Cunningham and Zanker had quiet ones so it was good to see others like Scott contribute on the forward line.

I hope the men can gain some of the intensity and desire that the girls show. 

Just watched the second win for our Women’s team... fantastic win against the other inaugural women’s team ...the Bulldogs. Thought the standard had definitely improved last year but found this game very enjoyable to watch. Are the skills there ...not  yet ...but intent & willingness...100%...What I love...the passion for the jumper...something exciting happening this season ...Go Dees !!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
