Great to have footy back and although last night’s game wasn’t the same as the last one I saw in September, the lesson was there for all to see. Accurate kicking for goal wins you games. At one stage in the game it was St Kilda 2.5.17 to Richmond 7.0.42. Game over!

Our women have been famous in the past for their inaccuracy in front of goals. Here’s hoping that having Tayla Harris and Daisy Pearce up near goal makes a difference.

 

Great to have footy back on the TV. Impressed with Richmond last night. They look much improved. Conti is an excellent player for them

The Doggies at Whitten Oval is a tough first up assignment. We were rubbish there last year. Goal kicking was dire. Hoping Harris can hit the ground running and snag a couple of goals

Tyla Hanks to be best on ground

Dees by 10 points

Anyone know why Sinead Goldrick isn't back in the team?

We really missed her run off half back at the end of last season.

Great to see the girls back into it.

Go Dees


I'm heading to the WO tonight for the game, should be a cracker.

Our midfield is strong with Paxo and Hanks to dominate.  We really need to grab some marks up fwd, pressure on Harris but I reckon shell do well over the season.

Carn the demons!

I'm also surprised McNamara isn't in the team. I thought she'd be a walk up start too.

Is this televised?

 

Having never been to the Whitten Oval I would be very interested in a food report and in particular a burger report from those attending.

A wide range of food and beverage options will be available including the Bass Strait Beef Burger Bar, Pancake Parlour outlets and food trucks.  

Melbourne playing the Bulldogs? Don’t know why but think it will be tight early and then we will kick away towards the end of the 3rd. Will win by about 74 points.

Did she head home for Christmas?

Only that or injury would see her out in my humble opinion.

Goldrick and McVamara should be in the side but it is not a bad side anyway. Have the dogs ever played us at Casey ? Anyway my jury is still out on Harris so I wouldn't be surprised to see Gay down to FF and Zanker in the middle.  Also Tarrant and Birch is a very good FB line.

Yeah me too. She's tough as nails and just got better as the season went on last year.

Anyways, I think I banged on about team selections at the start of the year for the blokes last year and look what happened.

Yeah, she scampered for home before the end of the season last year.

She's in the squad but maybe not back yet?

Fox🙁

SW Gippsland to W Melb several bridges too far for me, so cheer 'em for me @DubDee et al. I'll hope to return the fave at Casey😁


It's also televised FTA on Channel 7 from 6.50pm.

I see Richelle "Rocky" Cranston named for the Bulldogs.  She started her AFLW career with Melbourne before moving to Geelong where she was subsequently delisted and picked by her current team.  Always thought she was a decent player who didn't mind the rough stuff and I was disappointed to see her leave the Demons.

Didn't see the FTA. Thanks (to you also @58er)

Remember Rocky crunching an opposition player in the first five minutes of the comp, v. Brisbane at Casey. It was going to be a serious comp!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
