Full time, hard fought win.

Heath big time plays, made for the pressure.

Hore and Gay, so composed.

Cunningham doing enough in the last.

Downie faded a bit, our backline kept tackling and pushing it out.

Hanks, Scott, great goals. 

Paxman what an effort in the last. Doesn't take a back foot.

Need to fix up a few dinky handballs that didn't hit the mark and cost them in turnovers.

Great team win.

    3 quarter time.

    4. 1 to 6. 0 Brisbane way

    Hard gut running football.

    Melbourne don't give up. They are trying to construct a win, they are almost.

    Hoping Brisbane fade in the lat.

    Paxman back to midfield,  Scott in the forwardline. 

     

    Good call. You should play the lottery this weekend.

    Is there a better attribute for a team to have? they never give up. So proud of them. 

    No team will want to play us in the finals.

    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 this much of a disadvantage.

    Unfortunately Lily has not been in great form for about 3 games 

    Zge seems to get caught trying to dispose and falls over or is unceremoniously  dumped!
     

    Dintvtjink it's confidence with her but lard hope she is back on her game in the Finals.

    Good luck Lily

    She's as brave as they come and tackles like a tiger but she needs to know her limitations. Don;t get too cute. Take the sensible first option and give the ball to someone who can use it better.

    Just watched the replay on Kayo, such an exhilarating game.  We’ve now beaten 4 of the top 6 teams (North, Crows, Dockers, Lions).  Brisbane had 98 tackles so our girls were getting to the footy first.  Amazing that all our goals were excellent snaps from general play.  Scott’s 3,  Paxy’s second quarter long ranger and Bannan’s last quarter goal were all rippers but Tyla Hank’s goal showing her persistence, guile and checkside skills was the best!

    This group is really working for each other.  Zanker into the midfield has been an inspired coaching move.  Home final next but against who?  Bring it on.

    Have we played a finals game as an AFLW club as yet? 

    First appearance was last year i believe. Knocked over GWS in the semi final on their patch. Kicked 3 late goals to snatch it. Check out Lily Mithen's last minute goal. the farthest she's ever kicked it in her life i reckon. Balls of steel.

    unfortunately season canned a few days later due to covid so never got to play the prelim.

    ah that's right, for some reason I thought that was the last rnd of the season and it was then canned before finals.

    Fingers crossed for Daisy.

    @binman file away for discussion on podcast

    Normal sized mids must hate coming up against her whilst ours must love playing with her. Does Rnd 6-9 form = All Australian form ?

    • 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.
