    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?

    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!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
