Stinear still coaching the same as 2 years ago. Stop the handball and short kicks.!!! The girls can kick far enough today. 

Doggies last week and Pies today just play long direct football. We play short sideways garbage that is so laborious. 

 

Under pressure, only Hanks and Paxman and possibly Lily M & Kate H can reliably execute skill.  Pies seemingly have a strong blend of girls who can kick well and with distance.   Of our defenders, no one can really hit a target in comparison to Collingwood.  This needs to be a focus for 2022 recruitment. 
Quite a few quiet girls today, Heath, Paxy, Mithen and Parry has been unsighted since her 3 goals against North. Zanker and Bannan need to do something in the second half.  Low expectations, there was little to enthuse and Pies are playing so well.

 

What gets me is the decision making. It is really poor.

 

Wow a goal after 4 behinds. We could have been right back in this.

1.6. 12 to 4.4 28.

 

Well, that was a better quarter.  McNamara stood out.  A proper little fighter there for sure.

But the shots... the shots...

 

Into the wind 3 goals are highly unlikely. 

Again our kicking was poor. Make no mistake the filth were asleep that quarter.


Geez Macnamara fought hard that quarter. Great defensive pressure on that far forward flank

Why couldn't we play like that in the first half (goalkicking notwithstanding)?

This performance was pathetic. The worst we’ve played ever in AFLW. There is a lack of skill and class at both ends of the ground. The midfield is weak. It’s pretty sad to see how this team has deteriorated. 


Oh for... yeah, not good enough.  The moment we try to be cautious we bugger it up.

We have a lot of players out there who are a lot better than this and I've lost confidence in Stinear.

Low confidence, poor skills and little game awareness in the majority of this group.

Daisy has been terrible and was last week too. Playing her in defence is wrong too. Midfield or nowhere.

Same old forward entry and delivery Faults  and goal kicking mistakes.
 

Missing Petrevski after 2 games no scouters !!


I think it is now time to realise that the coach just isn't up to it. This short kicking and handballing game will not work against a decent opponent.

Appears to me that we are a bit soft. Dogs roughed us up and now pies and we can't handle it. Every team now will go at us hard and look for us to roll over which is happening here and last week.

Looked like grown women playing girls today. Cunningham too much difference between best and worst, need a full forward who's a lot more dynamic.

This was Mick's big gamble and 5 th or 6 th shouldn't save him after 5 years of forward frustration. 

 

You can’t have your captain shanking kicks. She needs to handball more coz it rips the momentum apart
 

2 goals 18 carrying on from last week. Pathetic. The pies almost stopped in The 3rd and we still couldn’t score 

When you do the basics right, you give yourself a chance.  When you don't, you give yourself no chance.  That just about sums it up.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
