They was so good to watch ...they have improved enormously & you can certainly see the difference when the teams that were the inauguration teams play. I can honestly say there is a great future for AFLW !!!

Spot on. There seems to be a gulf between the older and newer sides. 7 of the current top 8 are inaugural clubs. The exception is North, funnily enough.

    I get frustrated with Cunningham to be honest. She’s a good target and brings the ball to ground but she needs to start sticking more marks and her ruck craft is in need of significant improvement.

    Terrific game of footy.

    Great win, particularly given paxman was not as prolific as normal and daisy was a bit off in the first 3 quarters (but terrific in the last).

    Go dees

    I never thought I would say this but I watched the whole game and enjoyed it. Standard has improved considerable. Then the Dees won how good is that.

    Fantastic win by the girls. That last quarter was great to watch as they both went hammer and tongs. Again I thaught Paxman was our best player. Pearce was excellent in the ruck and Daisy played a great game. Hanks is becoming one of my favourites. She is in everything and disposes of the ball well. It was good to see Madddie Gay as well. We needed a more solid midfielder and she fits that bill very well. Goldrick, Miffen, Parry, Scott and Birch played well.

    A win like that can be a team lifter for the whole club. I hope the boys watched it as well.

    Hard not to like AFLW when the quality is like this match. 

    Yeah the comp started slowly, but it is rapidly gaining momentum.

    Genuinely entertaining that was.

    Go you good things !!!!!

    She’s played so much better this year but she’s a basketballer in her mid 30’s, it’s impressive she’s even out there. 
     

    But she’s had a shocker dropping her head when Hanks laced her out in the last. Swallow that, turn around and nail the goal and end the game. 
     

    Zanker and Bannan are still inconsistent too. Parry might be the most trust worthy under a high ball. Or Scott. But we need them up the ground. 

    If we had one more good crumber to pair with Hore the forward line would have more balance.

    Umpiring didn’t match the standard of the players. We got more of it then North but it was awful for both sides.

    Every second tackle isn’t a free kick!

    As I said we got the better of it but it also might’ve hurt us because we wanted pace on the game. The more the game moved the better the Dees are

    Hope we get to see that video heaps of time this year for the men’s team as well.

    Congrats to the girls on this statement win. Standard was very good and we kicked some outstanding goals tonight.

    Thought Daisy had some huge moments in critical contests that quarter. Good on ya Dees, super win and Shelley Scott no problem slotting it after the siren.

    The repeat efforts on the near side flank were incredible. Such leadership and smarts.

    She held together the backline that was pretty much just her and sometimes the brilliant but unpredictable Goldrush.

    Need to strengthen that group up if we’re to go deep in the comp. Birch struggling. Colvin better but still up and down. Lampard first game back. Edmonson might have to go to the wing and swap with Heath. Or they might need to try the other Irish lass

    Beat a side in North that are one of the favourites for the Premiership. Looks like the Dees are a chance to have a crack at the  Silverware even this early in the season.

    Thing is, that percentage is largely because nobody has thought to kick a goal against them. 

    When be unleash a seven goal blitz in the third quarter this weekend, they won't look so great.

    Well, you were a quarter and a couple of goals off, but you nailed it!

    As did the Dees! Super impressive win. Never seen them come out firing like that against such quality opposition and sustain it for so much of the game. North looked shell-shocked and quite flat to be honest, but their comeback was pretty much a guarantee and I thought our players weathered it well when they'd lost momentum. There were some shaky moments though!

    I wish we could have been there to cheer them on, but I hope the girls and staff felt the support anyway (and from the couple of people peering through the fence at Casey while 'exercising'!).

    Goldrick rapidly becoming a favourite. Doesn't care who she's up against, doesn't care about making mistakes, just goes for it and brings so much to the team.

    Weirdly I probably saw more blatant mistakes from both Daisy and Paxman than I've seen in their AFLW careers to date. But they were there in the critical moments with some big last gasp efforts. Mithen was ever-present. Gay gave us some of the extra oomph we'd been missing in the middle. Aside from quiet games from a couple (Zanker, Birch, McNamara - fair enough in just a third game!), everyone had their moments and it was a pretty even spread. Didn't give North the chance to ever truly get going; we only saw a glimpse of how damaging they can be.

    Next week? Who cares, this is one to savour!

    Seriously no one deserves  a premiership more than Daisy. She was awesome in that final term with her smother and going back with the flight. 

    Good that we held on and sitting pretty at the top.

    After all of your previous comments on AFLW  I never thought you would either!

    Correct OD, currently down in Chairman Dan’s Greater Victoria ‘enjoying’  NT border shutdown and the lockdown. Top dees win has boosted the feeling of solidarity with the local chapter of the DL fraternity fortunately.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
