These tackles....ferocious attitude tonight 

The team look like they're 'angry' about the opportunities they've let slip this year...great to see them showing it through on field actions.

    Playing hard football, holding the ball in the forward line, looking like a team that wants to win.

    Hanks, Zanker, Lampard, Mcnamara, L Pearce,  Mithin, Gay, Heath, all contributing. Adelaide can't find any space.

    At the moment we are controlling the game. 

    Played two good quarters, keep at it, Go Dees.

    Holding Adelaide to 1 goal in a half is a great effort, more of the same thanks girls.

    Did Hanks hit the post or did goal ump think it went the wrong side? Looked a goal to me

    This is some performance!

    Tarrant is very underrated,  has been huge down back.

    Mithen is a little brute.

    Tyler Hanks is officially my new favourite player. She is an absolute gun!

    Zanker has been huge with some of the clearances and just making a lot of metres kicking long.

    She was our best last week. And has been awesome again.

    Great move playing her as a mid in this game.

    Her ability to win hard balls and get really good distance of both feet has been super important.

    What, 18 to 3 inside 50's, umpire gives us a junk time goal. Two frees in a row, probably there.

    5. 6 to 1. 3

    Hore stepped up.

    Continuing our style of game.

    Go Dees.

    I have reallt enjoyed this season of AFLW. 

    The AFL are on a winner in their war with rugby and soccer. The AFLW will only continue to grow in popularity. Meaning there is footy feb to October.

    Quite right Binman.

    When you watch the girls play locally, NE Vic for me. Very skilled players.

    I have already said to naysaying males.

    Just wait 5 years. AFWL will bypass NRL and Soccer

    In 5 years almost every player in the AFLW will have come up through junior footy like bannon, hanks and mcnamara.

    And the standard will be incredible.

    You know Hate Kore has the opposition spooked when there are four of them covering the space around her.  Shame we didn't create an alternate option in the gaps that must have left. 

    Still some problems in our forward line but the persistence in keeping it up there and not giving easy groud away means we're not being punished so much.

    As always with this team, I feel like we're just arms length from being all-conquering.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
