Incredibly bad luck for Goldie (hamstring tendon), and we'll tymiss her drive out of defence enormously.  Hopefully the return of Meg Downie for her first game at AFLW level for the year will offset this somewhat. Important game in preparation for a strong finals campaign.

    Goldrick a big loss but great to have Downie back to compensate. Hopefully she can regain sharpness quickly and be ready for finals.

    Good to have Downie back but another match would have helped. Goldie will be missed regardless. However I feel our backline has been somewhat under rated. Birch is usually good but Lampard, Colvin and Tarrant have played well. Heath is god as well and can play wing.

    Some doubt whether this game goes ahead.

    Due to a covid case in Brisbane anyone arriving from there since March 12 is required to isolate.  Lions AFLW team is still in Brisbane.

    Huge implications for the order of the top 6 if this doesn't go ahead.

    John Ralph reported just before the men's game started that the Lions women would fly down tomorrow. The women have been in a quasi bubble so are exempted from the isolation requirement.

    Heard him say, if they test negative then the game goes ahead.

    Uncertainty, doesn't help either side, though a bit more for the travellers.  

    Smash them at home Dees.

    We have been pressurising the opponents and playing like we want to win.

    Keep that, include the connection and don't miss the easy goals.

    Gay, Daisy and Hore to fire. 

    Hanks to improve after a bad one in Freo.

    Ball getters Paxman and Zanker with Mcnamara outside to control the play.

    L. Pearce, will power and leadership.

    The backline to repel them.

    Game scheduled to start in about 90 mins.  Anyone know if its going ahead or even if Brisbane arrived in Melbourne this morning?

    Unfortunately can't find anything on AFL, MFC or Lions websites, twitter.

    Anyone down at Casey?

    Just read that the game will go ahead - Lions have been given an exemption by the State Gov't.

    Roos beat Freo.

    Wouldn't mind meeting Freo in the first week of final.  Their last 3 games: unconvincing last minute win vs Carlton, loss to Dees now a loss to Roos.

    On a bright note:  Roos win snuffs out Carlton's chances of making the finals

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    win and we'll finish 3rd or 4th (depending on the filth beating crows), lose and we'll finish 6th

    If we finish 3rd or 4th we get a Home final next week.  Heaps to play for!

    Finish 4th and we play Freo at Home.

    We've been a little labored thus far but hopefully that goal will settle us down.

    Good quarter.

    Ahead by a point. 1. 0. 6 to 1. 1. 7

    Bannan, Hanks, Hore, Zanker, Mithin, Paxman doing well.

    Backline is a wall.

    Wind was against us.

    Daisy is out injured leg, Paxman playing forward.

    Brisbane have more class inside 50. Will probably be the difference in this game.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
