We can fear no-one.  Last 3 weeks wins over Lions, Crows and Freo.

Bring on the finals.

Lets hope Daisy can make it next week.

Took the satisfaction of watching the final quarter.  Ahh, excellent. Meanwhile, another fierce game from the little monster.  I know Lily Mithen is short, but didn't realise she was overcoming t

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 t

No Daisy no Goldrick no worries! What a win even better than the Freo win. Pearce, Scott, Heath and Zanker fantastic. Fantastic last quarter from Paxman. Go Dees premiership is in our sights.

Yes, 3rd and 4h play 6th and 5th respectively at their Home ground.  We can't drop below 4th so the only question is who will be our opp.

Yep - just depends on whether it's Adelaide or Freo that we play

If we end up 3rd we play North who are locked in at 6th.

Might have to barrack for Pies to beat Adelaide. 

Would rather play North in the first elim.  Altho Feo has been ordinary of late, especially away from home.

Surprised people saying they thought Bris played better up to 3/4 time. We dominated the midfield all game but struggled to connect with the forward line. Bris defence were very good. 
Cant finish lower than 4th. Guaranteed home final

Thrilling stuff.  Great belief and determination, with most players lifting a notch in the last, got us over the line.  Couldn't be happier with that 'come from behind' performance.  Do Dees!

It annoys me that we have different rules for AFL, AFLW, VFL, Local footy. It’s the same game and should be played the same across the codes. Differences should be for little league. 
Also the umpires were very keen to give Brisbane free kicks

A great win by the ladies

Great day at the footy except for the loud brisbane supporter nearby.  Paxman. She is an absolute champion. When the game was there to be won it she was the one to do it. Zanker was fantastic as well. All game she continually put in and cleared the ball.  Heath, Hanks, Guy, Scott and lauren Pearce all played really well.  Hope daisy will be alright but I think she will miss next week at least. Either way we should be doing it for her.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
