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.

    • 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.
