Big test. We didn’t turn up last year in the prelim. Very disappointing. We have to put in a performance and make the Crows earn it today.

It’ll be tough, they have a strong home record, but if we can match them physically and kick straight we’re a good chance

The heart says Dees by 5 points, the head says Crows

 

I think we match up quite well against their strengths and we have plenty of girls in form ……… BUT we will have to adapt to the crazy skinny dimensions of the ground and kick straight, which is a regular bugbear.  Fingers crossed we can do it.

This should be a good game. I am looking forward to the battle of the midfield as both are strong here. Pearce in the ruck could be the difference.


Gotta play 4 qtrs.

chance to put a gap between us and the behind.   Crows kill dus with pressure last year, saints did the same last week till we broke out.  Been a trend this year with the top sides, suddenly breaking out in the last qtr to run away with it.   The other teams can't seem to sustain he pressure for 4 qtrs. 

 

birch should have knocked that away for a rushed behind, not smart

adelaide red hot. we need to settle 

Getting killed at ground level

We gotta get our tackling game going….

Crows bringing the heat and out-muscling us. They appear physically bigger and stronger.

Lucky we're not further behind. Badly need to wrest momentum back here somehow, stick some tackles, or it will be a long day


Playing too loose and Crows don't fumble.

Goldie having a crack as usual. She needs some help

Edited by BDA

Anyone willing to join me on the Paxy is overcooked train? 

Sarah Allan got an opponent?


Getting smashed in contested ball. We're miles behind the Crows, and we're almost at full strength.

Looks like we spent all summer practicing nice uncontested footy and forgot how to win and use the ball under pressure.

We haven’t been able to string together anything remotely decent.

The lack of coordination between the player giving and receiving a handball is particularly poor. There’s no point being a hard running fit side if you can’t give a handball to a runner who then gets in to space. 

 

We started to make some terrible decision making skills along with poor use of the footy from about 1/2 way through the second quarter. Adelaide have been on to us from the start and with a home ground advantage that will be enough. Too many of our good players are playing pooorly so lets hope they can lift in the second half. Paxman, Gay and Zanker for a start.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
