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.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
