    We badly need to get the Adelaide loss out of our system and our season back on track

    The Suns have improved.This will not be an easy game. 

    I want to see a consistent 4 quarter effort. And a more direct style of play. Oppositions know that pressure disrupts our handball through the corridor approach  so don;t invite them onto us.

    Hanks is a big loss. she's a super player. But we should still have enough to win this game

    Dees by 15 points

    We must have a W in the W/L column.  Unbelievably, the season is half over, and anything but a W will see us falling well off the pace.

    Better output from Zancker Paxman and Mithen will help. All three were quiet last week. Not sure if self or opposition related.

    The team needs to use the flexibility they have shown to overcome any diminished output from an individual. 

    We still have the potential to be the best team and can beat any opposition if we structure appropriately and change patterns if any obvious difficulties. Coaching needs to respond by making appropriate moves to match up both defensively and offensively.

    it took too long to use Daisy in the forward line when Harris wabeing double teamed and channelled.

    Oppositions are getting more refined and we must adapt to that.

    lifting our disposal efficiency (particularly handballs) will help a lot…

    Our confidence is down, the Adelaide game maybe taken a toll.  Wish Abbey Holmes would use the term ‘elite’ less.  C’mon girls!

    Suns make no attempt to dispose of the footy, no free when tackled

    Agree 100%!

    Kicking for goal is poor! 2-4 and on the full. 3-4 or 4-3 and game almost over. Hoping for accuracy this quarter!

    McNamara all class, Zanker and Mithen cracking in. Libby Birch very solid down back

    We’re the better team. Just need to convert our chances.

    We still have a few fumbly types that Adelaide and Freo don't.

    Birch down back is very reliable. Yes we are still fumbly  at times but other times we looked good. 

    Nice to get the win.

    Oh well, a win = 4 points, but plenty of improvement needed if we are going to seriously challenge the top few.

    Good to win but Mick has plenty to contemplate.

    Seems like Hanks will be back next week thank God but Gay is out for 3 weeks unfortunately.  Better news for Purcell who is getting closer to debuting in the Red and Blue.

    Let’s keep Caris in to support L Pearce, who was great tonight, and drop Parry, for one of the young talls or Ali Brown.

    Not that convincing but we got the job done

    Contested game much better. Mithen BOG. Her best game for a while

    Zanker, McNamara. Paxy, L Pearce and Birch best of the rest

    A few players down on form still in particular Kate Hore. We need her firing if we’re to beat the best teams

    If we can bag the W against GWS next we’re in decent shape heading into a tough run home

    Go Dees

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
