    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

    Go Dees

    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.

    Seemed a pretty good local attendance here today!

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
