    There's still 21 plus players; we should recognise recognise their effort as much as the men (actually more so as they give up more for less); but if having 2 less players reduce votes: let's make it 5.

    5. Zanker -- a real difference maker in the midfield. Saved the game when it looked like the doggies were going to overrun us.

    4. L. Pearce -- doing the Max-style kick behind play thing, and doing it very very well.

    3. Birch -- had a great game, but occasionally a bit panicky/unclean with her disposal. Fix that up and she'd have been BOG.

    2. Hanks -- as always, a smooth mover and good user through the middle.

    1. Sherriff -- both tough at the contest and skillful when the ball was on the outside, a key link-up piece in most of our best passages of play.

    Apologies: Lampard, Tarrant, Hore, Heath, Gay, Harris (the difference from Cunningham last season to Harris last night was like night and day -- I don't think Tayla will ever quite be the player that her media profile demands, but she'll be a very important structural piece for us).

    Thanks for getting this going.

    May as well chip in mine from the match report...although on reflection I've switched Birch and Zanker; perhaps I over-compensated in trying to avoid over-rewarding my favourite player.

    5. Zanker - As mentioned I've been on board the Zanker train since it departed the station. Especially glad to see her hit the scoreboard.

    4. Birch - Saved some goals (and nearly cost a shocker!) but clearly had a big impact in a somewhat depleted backline.

    3. Hanks - I always feel like I gloss over her performances, but she's that consistent I feel like I'm just repeating myself. So good in traffic, so balanced. Hope we're saying T.Hanks on W Award night.

    2. Sherriff - Glad to see some love for Sherriff above too. She's come a long way. Desperate and courageous.

    1. Hore - Wasn't a prolific lead-up game by any means, but when her shots were there, she took them. Which as we know, is kinda important!

    Daisy gets honourable mention. She missed an easy goal in the 3rd but otherwise was smart and clean with the footy.  Classy to watch.

    5. Zanker.  What can you say? 183cm runs like the wind, natural footballer and can kick 40m+.  Stood up when the side needed it with Karen and Lily off the ground for long periods

    4. Hanks.  Also took up the reins when needed.  Just tough and skilled.  Look at her tackling and run from the back pocket in the 1st which eventually created the goal.

    3. Birch.  Saved the bacon time and time again.  Had to do it all on her own at times. 

    2. L. Pearce.  Clean out of the ruck, and then follows up and then some more.  A nightmare for opposition

    1. Kate Hore.  Did what she needed to do when needed.  Just keeps bobbing up at the right time.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
