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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
