Two games in inner city Melbourne and now a ‘home’ game at Casey. 
I would love to go to more games but I’m not going out of Melbourne to watch us. We need to find a home venue in Melbourne ASAP.

As far as I know there are no plans for a new home venue for the women. Gosch's will be re-developed to a full training oval but won't host games. Casey is not convenient but I've got used to driving out there now

I don;t think i'll go to the game today. Too hot. Hope the girls can handle the heat ok. Running around in 33 degrees is no fun

Edited by BDA

I'll be there, to take the baton from you city slickers!😁


Casey 20 mins and MCG about 1hr 10 mins including a train . I ain't complaining about casey but nor do I complain about the MCG.

This was going to be the first game of the season I was able to attend when the fixture was released but I have too much work. I still hope to be able to watch some of it. St. Kilda have looked very poor in their first two games so hopefully we can put in a really good performance. The weather will be challenging but it was hot last week and we played pretty well

I’ve seen most of the teams at this stage. I reckon St Kilda are a firm favourite for the wooden spoon. They are very limited

Adelaide and Freo have already built up percentage over us so we need to close the gap. It’s quite possible percentage will decide home ground advantage in finals. we have to be ruthless with the weaker teams.

Put your foot on their throat girls

Early days but I reckon on current form Adelaide would be flag favourites atm
Freo will be stuck out of home for a while and perhaps that may work against them?

Reckon that whilst our girls will be playing todays game on its merits, they will already have one eye on next weeks clash against the Crows in Adelaide.

Huge game next week for sure. Hopefully we can avoid the dreaded "health and safety protocols" and can field a strong team


Hand balling to players in a stationery position. Kick the ball

Good pressure by the Saints. We're really rushing every possession because of it.
Domnated by the saints so far but we're defending pretty well.
Saints by 7

Great running pass by Hoare to Harris who marks and kicks a goal for us.
Saints 8 Dees 6

West has the most awkward kicking style i've ever seen. She needs a few sessions with chocco

Three good passages of play where she wrecked it by kicking mongrels.


Sloppy from the Dees. Should be further behind. Hopefully this quarter, with the wind at our backs, we can find our rhythm

Gee, the skill level seems really down today.

I've not seen such amateurish fumbling since my first date when I was a teenager.


Katie Hore, though! Snuck up on her like a ninja. 

Looking like an arm wrestle when we needed a good win.
Just not clean enough with posessions and kicking at goal.

Hope this doesn't turn into the loss that costs us at the end of the season.

So much for percentage. We're in a battle here. Other than Harris the whole team needs to lift. 

 

Saints giving everything, we need to stick fat.  Hold those easy marks and hit targets Dees.

Only got here near 1/4 time (car parking and reception for electronic tickets leave something to be desired...)

Gusty wind a factor for set shots (bit to learn there?) Temperature, too? Also affecting their 'revolutionary' possession/ transition game?

And certainly not 'winning the ground ball' as they have been.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
