    Karen Paxman is a superstar. 
     

    Also enjoyed how much her mullet upset the sooks of the 7AFL Facebook page.

    Goldrick would have been a cert if she hadn't missed games through injury

    Paxman is a dead set legend. Full stop.

    This comp has been going for 5 years and this is here 5th AA selection. Remarkable consistency.

    She should be on our banner @Demonland

    Absolutely pumped for Tyla Hanks for her first nod in what has been a sensational season. 

    Well deserved.

    Agree with Paxman. I think the best player in the comp. Tayla Hanks is only a couple of years behind her. As much as I like Goldrick I doubt she would have been a cert.

    It will be a tough midfield to break into. Are there any better rucks than Lauren Pearce going around - she seems the most likely to earn a spot. One of Hanks or Paxman might slide on to a flank or the bench, but I'm not sure there will be room for both.

    Not sure how she qualifies, but based on the nominees, Tyla Hanks must be favourite to win the rising star award this year. Nobody on that list has come close to her impact.

    I suspect Ellie McKenzie will be high up in the selectors minds.  The number of times I heard the media refer to ‘number one draft pick...’.    

    But I love Tyla, she is so clean, so clever. Can’t you just tell that she is loving her footy, a clear RS favourite for mine!

    Is Lauren Pearce related to Daisy Pearce?

    No relation.

    The only other ruck who's any competition is Moody for Carlton. But I'd think L.Pearce has her covered.

    The rules are a little different for AFLW Rising Star - no games limit, under 21 not 20 on Jan 1 of the season. So it's a bit of a quirk that Tyla wasn't nominated in previous years and just turned 21 this past February. There's precedence though for an 'older' player with Huntington winning age 21 in 2020. So if they're going by impact and consistency, Tyla can't be ignored. Having said that, wouldn't be surprised if they give it to McKenzie for PR reasons.

    So, Paxy is now a 5 time All Australian. Absolute superstar.

    But clearly you need to play for Carlton, Collingwood or Richmond to get a look in. Lauren Pearce absolutely robbed. Lions only had one player too.

    Congrats also to Tayla Hanks on her rising star win.

    Agree L.Pearce hugely stiff and Hanks unlucky too.  Was a very strange side.  Collingwood have a key defender Livingstone who was incredible this year and didnt make it, which is a travesty as well.

    It was a very stange side. How the hell did Katie Brennan end up as chf. Lauren Pearce was robbed of a ruck position with the carlscum player getting it. Why ??? She is no where near as good as Pearce. Would have thaught Kate Hore would have got a spot in the forward line as well. Maybe I am just too biased.

    As someone on Twitter said, it was a side built on reputation rather than actual output. The leading goal kicked didn't even start on the bloody ground!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
