    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

    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

    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
