Congratulations to our girls named in the 2021 All Australian squad (40 named):

Melbourne
Kate Hore
Karen Paxman
Tyla Hanks
Lauren Pearce

The final team of 21 – including a vice-captain and skipper – to be announced at the W Awards on Tuesday, April 20.

 

Karen Paxman is a superstar. 
 

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

Eden Zanker very stiff. 

Slowish start to the season. She's lit it up since going into the midfield

Agree she has changed our season results from the centre! 


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!

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
