    Tyranny of distance for me again this week. And no FTA. So, looking forward to reports, from those of you in another "very vocal Melbourne crowd".

    Goldrick, Mcnamara and Colvin are good ins but the loss of Gay and Scott is a worry.

    Yes. It would seem that “health and safety protocols” will be a thing for the AFLW season and possibly going into the AFL season unless things with Omnicron can stabilize quickly. This could make 2022 a bit of a crap shoot.

    And with its introduction it is going to cover all manner of sins that in the past were said to be....knee flu, soreness, groin, or just plain dropped....

    The Ashes is on ch. 7, fair enough. But they’ve got three other channels in 72, 73 and 76 on which to televise AFLW. I guess some people can’t go a night without Alaskan ice road trucking gold fever picking swamp junkyard overhauling oil digging storage wars and Down East Dickering 🙄

    McNamara is best on so far. Exceptional half.

    Shaky start but we found our rhythm in that quarter and were excellent. In control in the middle and shooting accurately. Our 2 youngsters McNamara and Bannon showing their class. Hore very good. Harris physicality monstering the Tiges defence

    We're well on top and should win handily from here

    McNamara is looking like a blonde Ed Langdon striding up and down the wing in peak physical shape and occasionally shanking it but also laying great tackles and providing a defensive and offensive number both ways.

    How good is it having harris who just makes her physical presence felt. Her tackling has been good.

    Good having the experienced players in there Daisy and Paxman who have kicked goals when needed. 

    We have been great after 1/4 time

    Harris was great. Physical all game, got a couple too.

    Paxy, really bounced back after a quiet week.

    Was pleasantly surprised with West. Thought she did some good things. Also thought Goldy played well, given she missed last week. I know we were low on numbers but can't see Magee developing enough to become a regular player. Just doesn't have the footy IQ.

    Harris might kill someone one week. Absolutely amazing to watch.

    Really good game from the girls. All played pretty well. West was good and Caris was very good early. Tough at selection this week.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
