In January 2019, the then Adelaide player said in answer to the question which team she looks forward to playing against the most and why:-

“Melbourne, we haven’t beaten them yet and my best mate plays for them so we usually chat a little and the banter is always good”.

Look where she’s at now?

    Sarah Could well be the icing on the cake and ensure that even on bad days (like the Saints) we will Not kick ONE  goal and many behinds to lose unexpectedly to a lesser skilled and more accurate opponent.

    Kat Smith presented her jumper so maybe her?

    Glad Sarah gets another go around this week, but as soon as someone else becomes fit, unfortunately that's it for her per the rules.

    I’d get Sarah to stay at full forward in the next game... she’s a much better bet than Tegan Cunningham.
    Tegan’s got the fumbles, and really is unlikely  to kick a goal from any more than 5m out.

    Wasn’t it ridiculous when Sarah was called off the ground after her goal, ran 150m, then sent back.!?

    She recovered quickly from this.

    If I was a coach I would NEVER take a player off the ground straight after a goal. All clubs do it, and I think it could be worth 1-2 goals a game to a team gutsy enough to go against convention.

    If the Dorks are to come into the AFLW next year (i'm already of the belief the expansion of the AFLW has been too rapid and spread the talent way too thin), i'd assume she'd be playing for them.

    Hope we get to see her going around in the red+blue again.

    no chance now that there will not be a VFL season this year.

    I don't think the Hawks were going to be in until 2023 at the earliest anyway. I don't see how they could have added more teams while the current 3-year CBA was in place. All irrelevant now, as any more expansion is surely put off altogether. Which is what most fans/women's footy people wanted anyway, since 2017!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?
