The team is looking good, no nerves, great lateral movement with run to find space, as north are great about shutting down space.  Greta night for footy.

 
 

Standard of this game is very good

 

Definitely taking advantage of what seems to be the scoring end even though it doesn’t look windy

Great ball movement and desperation 

love Goldie in the backline

They said there was no wind that qtr, we got onto as we broke their early pressure around the ball.

The Dees have dismantled a quality opposition in that half. Super impressive.


One of the best quarters of footy I've ever seen from our girls,  they might have had higher scoring efforts against expansion sides before but that was against one of the top sides,  the run and lateral handball game is working a treat

Umpires obsessed with the push in the back rule! Any tackle that ends up with the tackler on top of the tackled, no matter how they got there is adjudged in the back! Ridiculous but it has been working to our favour this match. Glad I am not a defender these days. 


Flicking between ash and the footy. What a great 2nd quarter. Nth are supposedly the team to beat. Hopefully we can continue to put the goals on the board and people start to notice us. 

Go dees!

We are noticeably cleaner than most other sides. Well structured behind the ball. Leading disposal getter in the league.

Could be a real shot this year.

i thought so too

be interesting to see if that sort of ruling is followed thru for aflm; will defo mean a lot frees and thus ball movement

 

Backline reading North’s kicks well, backing themselves and playing in front. Some of the movement has been first class and that was a very exciting quarter to watch.

Best half of footy I have seen from the girls. North are a good side but we made them look ordinary. I hope we can play with the same intensity in the second half.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
