I believe Naimh McEvoy and Shae Sloane have announced their retirement.

Other moves across the league in the article below. Apparently we are into Geelong's Olivia Purcell. Not having seen much of the Cats I know little (nothing) about her.

The article also states that we made a big play for Collingwood's Chloe Molloy. That would have been huge had we been able to lever her out but it appears she is going to sign on with the 'Pies again.

    We badly need a dominant key forward. If Tayla Harris is gettable then i would go hard. We'd need to do our due diligence as the stories about her lack of engagement and fitness issues are a concern. But if she is motivated and in the right frame of mind then she would be perfect for us.

    Apparently demanding $150,000 a year from Carlton. $30k for playing and they are currently employed her on about $80k at the club.    But she is not consistent, very hot and cold, seems more focussed on her boxing and overall profile?

    I agree that we'd want a more consistent player than Harris given what we're lacking in that area. When she's good, she's very good, but otherwise I don't really see her as a good fit. I doubt she'll be at the Blues but I can see her going north (Gold Coast or GWS) where her marketability would be a huge asset.

    Having said that, I don't really have another option for who we should be targeting... The idea that Molloy would leave Collingwood stuck me as very unlikely. That's all external though and I guess you may as well try!

    Could we consider developing Bannan for a full forward role. Just a thaught.

    Harris just kicked four goals in eight games for a team on the cusp of the finals, I wouldn't pay her $3.50.

    No she is a running player rather than KP unless she develops more physically.

    We badly need a big KP forward though as Tegan is not the full time answer and most others are flankers size.

    Petrevski hopefully will be fit as we need her crumbing snd speed badly.

    Also  need A KP back of some  size For marking.

    We must build up the forward line to eradicate these days when we lock badly.

    They cost us again badly  vs Dogs  Pies  and Crows in Prelim.

    I think we need a crumbing small forward and a speedy outside mid

    To take the next step we need a dominant KF. Perhaps Zanker can go forward and do the job. She's got the physique and can mark the ball although her set-shot kicking is iffy.  That said, her form in the middle was so good when she was switched there for the second half of the season I think she's more valuable there.

    Whats Gemma Houghton's contract situation at Freo. Could she be persuaded to come across I wonder.

     Keystral Petrevski is a crumpet who may be over her ACL but yes another would be handy plus a KP for both forward and back.

    Good to see the AFL trying it's best to kill this competition.  Sometimes growth isn't for the better, AFLW should be for show casing the elite AFLW, should be 8 club tops and have a really good product, to increase to 18 is silly.  Great for young girls playing the game they need to find another 120ish players to play AFLW.  

    Big call by AFL, still has it's head in the sand about the massive decline in Boys playing the game

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
