Our performance against St Kilda last year was every bit as bad as what we've delivered over the past two weeks.

We are going to need to play significantly better to win this week. If we don't, we'll be playing for draft picks over the final three rounds.

Sadly, other than Downie, there really isn't any talent to come back into the team.

 

No Goldie this week due to a hamstring and McEvoy has been dropped.  Speccie Magee is back along with Brenna Tarrant who both played well in the VFLW.

It will be a tough assignment against the Saints.  

As an aside, former Dee Harriet Cordner, is really playing well for Richmond.  A pity, as we are short of good defenders.  I don’t know why she left.


Confidence rock bottom. We just need to stay alive so I'll take a win by whatever means we can muster. 

Well I will head down and have a look. Lose this and we are gone. Pity about Goldrick.

 

Good start by the women. 

Great that Daisy Pearce is playing in the forward line.

Not converting enough given our domination of inside 50's. 

St. Kilda has no inside 50's

First quarter  2. 2. 14 to 0. 0. 0

Playing well:  Zanker, Gay, Pearce,  Mcnamara, Hanks 

Edited by kev martin

Better but the handball habit is hard to shake. Daisy experiment going much better than i thought it would. Zanker in the thick of it, Gay is clean and composed and Hanks having a dip as usual.

St Kilda are very poor. We should be able see it through from here.


Second quarter: 

4. 3. 27   To  1. 3. 9 

Saints bit more in it this quarter.

A few errors and poor decisions let them hold the ball in there half.

Kicked a goal against the run of play, which helped.

Backline held up with Colvin, Birch and Heath.

We moved the ball well by hand a couple of times, going end to end.

We're attempting to use possession football with some 20 meter kicks. Sometimes resulting in turnovers. 

Saints were kicking long. They won a few more clearances that quarter.

Zanker and Hanks doing well, as is Lauren Pearce

3rd quarter, the lights are on. 

7. 6. 48  To 1. 3. 9

What a difference scoring goals, makes.

Playing with confidence and controlling the game.

The midfielders are working well as a pack. Running, tackling, using the ball.

Much better efficiency than last week

Good win but the Saints are not great. 

great to see Daisy play so well at CHF. Hanks is a beauty too

still not in finals. Celebrate ladies but three much tougher games coming up

Final quarter

9. 12. 66   To   3. 4. 22

Start of the quarter was played  in our forward half, the last 10 minutes the saints got a run on.

We started to miss some easy goals.

Zanker, L Pearce, Hore,  Daisy,  Hanks, Mcnamara, Colvin, Lampard, Heath, Sherriff, Parry, Scott, played well.

Tarrant did enough. Mcgee, better than first game though faded and her kicking style needs work.

A good win.   

Edited by kev martin

After a fortnight from hell we'll take that.

Too many gettable goals missed this evening with Zanker the main culprit. Adelaide next week is a must win. We have to kick straight to have any chance.


Bannon has real footy smarts. she paddled the ball and soccered the goal to evade the pressure from the defender. The type of play we haven't seen thus far in the AFLW. Most players would gather the ball and end up getting tackled.

We got better the more the game went but St Kilda were poor. At least we threw some moves around with the forward line having Pearce, Paxman and Gay rotating through there. Hore was quite good in the middle as well.  Hanks is very quickly becoming my star. The 3 talls of Pearce, Cunningham and Zanker playes well. Zankers best game for the season.

Again though we tend to handball and short kick it too much. There were some horrible decisions made out there both by foot and hand. Against a poorly skillled side it worked enough but do it against our next three opponents and we will get towelled up. Just look back to the filth game to see why.

Our backline was inexperienced as well and this may be more of a problem next week. The crows are no slouches. 

Lily Mithen is an almost star.

She is quick, her disposal are thoughtful.

Why does she seem to run into the opposition?

I'd like to see her move into space and not congestion when she wins the ball. She goes a bit straight line. Needs some lateral and backward movement or some tricks and baulks, shimmy's, tight turns.

I wish she hated getting tackled and becomes untouchable.

Needs also to push off, or off step her opponent. They regularly seem to be right on her tail.

Love that she gets to the ball first and is tough.

Great win by the girls should have put the pedal to the metal but didn't in the last quarter. Lauren Pearce is a gun best ruckman in the league. Daisy Pearce seems more suited to the forward line than backline. Zanker on fire. The last 3 games are in our hands if we make the finals we have earned it.

We are playing top teams.

Wins against them, may open up the ladder for us, give us confidence going into finals (hope we make it) and improve our standard of play.

Adelaide at Casey, Freo in WA and Brisbane at Casey.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
