Could without the Commentary from the DH Adelaide supporter!

The very definition of a deserved victory.

Well done girls!

At least we know he's going to go home unhappy while we are laughing.

Can we talk about how bloody good Tyla Hanks is?! Her decision-making and execution is outstanding. She would be leading our b&f and is now one of the best players in the league. So smart and clean.

Most spirited performance in a Dees jumper since Elim Final v Geelong 2018. 

Thoroughly enjoyable to watch. 

Good call.

That simply has to inspire the men's team.

Who would have thought ten years ago a women's dees team would be showing a men's team want getting angry is reallt all about.

Go dees

Love how she shrugs a tackle. A natural footballer. Great balance.

Great win against a top 4 side. Should make the finals now 2 games and percentage above the Bulldogs. Hore, Lampard, Hanks, Mithen and Zanker sensational.

[Deestar9 1,402]

Loved the game...the intent & the joy they have in playing !! Great win !!

[FarNorthernD 5,839]

Best

Hanks. Footy IQ and skills are a step above everyone else’s 

L. Pearce. Looks like she is working out what she is capable of. Lots of touches around the ground amd that mark and goal in the square was fantastic 

Zanker. Hats off to Stinnear for putting her in the centre square rotation. Too big and strong for opposition mids to deal with. If she could just hang onto her marks she could be anything

Gay. It is a great situation to be in when your 4th option mid gets 20 disposals, 3 marks and 5 tackles. Also one of our top half dozen kicks in the side

Paxman. Paxman game. Takes the right option

Sherriff. I was surprised by how good she was. Really reliable defender

Hore. Thought she was a bit lucky with the free kicks but they were there and she kicked 3 goals

Great team effort overall

[Paulo 285]

Destroyed em 

Great win girls, great team effort, every player contributed in one way or another 

Hanks and zanker are dead set stars and will be for a very long time 

Mcnamarra star in the making 

Magee big step forward, has major upside

I just commented to a markc‘ s daughter I wish the men would play with that sort of heart!

That was Swooper Northey era type footy.

Those Irish have strange names.  Sinead Goldrick-Only-Knows-One-Direction.

Do you think she’s any relation to all those brothers One Direction?

[defuture15 844]

I am wondering why we are not talking to the Irish girls about recruiting more players from Ireland. Every women's team seems to have 2 or 3!

Outstanding win by our girls!  Played with true Demon spirit, and worked as 'one' with desire, courage and intensity.

The "your joking umpire" or "no way".

[defuture15 844]

Was definitely watching a different game to me! Binman will remember the game at Etihad when I had the pleasure of his company on.level 3 with a feral Bulldog supporter giving a running commentary also.

Glad to hear that you were the game on Monday Binman. After that snap by Bont they just had to remind us of the snap to win on that day also.

Loved the podcast. Great work

[dl4e 5,583]

What a fantastic evening that was at the footy. There was one way to describe how the girls played this evening and that is the old saying of guts. Plenty of it. Adelaide are a strong side who move the ball quickly but our girls never gave them room and tackled fiercely. If I was Goodwin I would sit the senior side down this week to watch that performance.

I can't think of a bad player for us with maybe Cunningham struggling in the wet. Having said  that Pearce and Zanker were 2 talls who were close to BOG. However I have to give that title to Hanks. She is a superb player. Paxman ( as always )' Gay and Hore were fantastic but I really liked the game of Lampard and Heath. They were terrific in defence.

My coopers pale ale is tasting really good now.

[Meggs 569]

That was a great win in the context of the season and in our history.  To the Casey Sh. 18 doubters please keep the faith, she is getter better and better.  And Zanker to the middle has been such a positive, thanks Mick.   Speccy Magee's best game too.  Hanksy is such a gun and was ripped off with that 'goal'.   Our Girls played with real spirit tonight and it certainly lifted mine !

Yep, the blokes should be watching that performance. Hard gut running footy. Great tackling and pressure acts like that wins every time.

Really proud of the women tonight. I think they would have mentally scarred the crows tonight.

Ive always thought our poor skills are one of our main problems for the men. But watching this game just reminded me how important agression and pressure is.

Just awesome.

[dworship 3,342]

I really love the buy in from the Irish girls, they look to be really enjoying the game and the camaraderie. Likewise; it's evident how they are seen by their team mates.

There hasn't been a lot of comment regarding Lily Mithin's game and I don't know if that's because we just expect her to do what she does or because some people have an "opinion" of her. Pound for pound I don't think I've ever seen a more courageous and tenacious player (apology to Lord).

[Fork 'em 6,507]

Great team win tonight.
Zanker and Hanks awesome.
Gotta say though .... Cunningham is hopeless.
Have only seen her do a couple good things over several years of footy.

On a side note.
My anti-football missus had no option but to watch as I wouldn't let her have the remote.
Later in the game she declares "There are alot of pretty girls in your team."
Me - "Ahhh ..... Yes there is." Lol.

Same.
The skills might not quite be there with the womens game but the competitive spirit sure is.
Love watching them play and seeing their enjoyment of the game.

Great win by the girls, really team effort with a few standouts already mentioned.  Playing with purpose and a plan for the wet too.

Looking forward to seeing them live next week in Perth.  They'll come over with confidence in their system.
