Hmmm. Lot of people would love for Harris to fail. She is playing humble at the minute, a bit too humble. But looking at how a selfless forward should play I am impressed. She is always meeting t

Firstly, kudos to Tegan Cunningham on her design of this year’s MFC AFLW Pride guernsey.  I thought it looked not too overstated - just right.   We started off shakily in the conditions and final

Some random thoughts: Weird not seeing Mithen at the bottom of a pack a million times today! Thanks to the footy gods for the Saints' inaccuracy... That last quarter blitz was a delight

Last years was on reputation. This year she’s just an ok player. Can’t find the space she used to. The players without balance or strength in congestion aren’t doing well under the heat teams can put on. 

Paxy was great last year! Won our BnF too. Not sure where you are coming from but don’t agree

she has the most touches today. A bit rusty this year so far but still quality

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

Maybe they can get some game at a Princes park or punt road? It’s crazy to be ‘Melbourne’ and not play in Melbourne. It will be difficult to build a fan base

Bit of a scrap, but a very good last quarter.

Hanks is a very natural footballer with a very fluid kicking action.

I also love the physicality of Harris, Zanka and Scott in particular.

All over and a big win to the Dees. Having the advantage of the wind in the final quarter on a hot day works wonders.

Floodgates. 

Saints not disgraced. Scoreline flatters. We managed to force the ball into the forward line and individual skills then delivered, rather than much system.

Got the percentage boost after all. Great final quarter but pretty ordinary up to that

Play like we did til 3 quarter time next week and Adelaide will beat us easy. Hopefully thats the dodgy performance out of the way and we can put together a 4 quarter effort next week. We'll need to if we're to beat the Crows

Hanks is looking like a Clarry out there! She has lost some weight and has a good step of pace now. Won the clearance and then followed up with the goal!

Well done to St Kilda for the first three quarters.
They really tackled well and plugged up the holes across the ground to block up our running game.
Our defence did pretty well early on.
Great last quarter and a bot like the blokes last year. As long as we keep winning, that's all that matters.

Should be a cracking game next week.

It took us til the last quarter to break the shackles. Lauren Pearce is a freak will be the difference between us winning the premiership or not. Good win but must start better against the Crows if we are to win that game.

Harris: Round , 1 goal; Round 2, 2 goals; Round 3, 3 goals...

Paxy, lots of tissues, yes, but pretty low on effectiveness this week. Right week to have a 'lapse' (as it turned out...)

Saints were good for 3 quarters but on a hot day like today you have to forgive some of the poor passages of play. The most concerning early on was the handball situation. There is too much of it and how many times did they handball to a player that was not clear of an opponent  and how many times were the handballs to a player running past completely off skew. 

Tayla Harris played well. A very good mark.

Hore was good but a little inaccurate.

Fitzsimon played another good game and got better the longer the game went.

Hanks and Paxman were good as well. Paxman has been closely guarded by our opponents.

Colvin, Birch and Heath were good in the backline.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
