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: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
