    If Hanks comes back with no forced outs then I’d think about Paxy to half back for Magee out. Or Paxy to half back for Heath to go forward and replace one of the struggling half forwards.

    Injury report.

    Also apparently VFLW is starting this weekend. Who knew? Not me! Glad there's now somewhere to drop players to rather than leaving them to languish.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Purcell play soon. Her toughness around the ball is something we’ve been missing this season. Hopefully she can find form before our tough run of fixtures against North, Lions and Freo. If she can fire from the get go she’ll be a huge in for us

    I think this happened before Round 5, but for anyone that missed it:

    Also saw a round-up of the stats leaders at the halfway point:

    Dees players who feature:

    Avg. Intercept possessions - Birch 2nd

    Avg. Hitouts - L.Pearch =5th

    Avg. Score Assists - Hore 1st, D.Pearce 4th, Hanks 5th

    DIO, Kate has been real quiet and ineffective during the last 2 weeks so it would be gr8 if she could recapture her pre and early season form.  Fingers are crossed!  We need her firing as together with, T Harris and D Pearce, they form the basis of an enviable forward structure.

    Parry is lucky to keep her place this week, as we have discussed, and she needs to impose herself.  

    Lauren is the best ruck / onballer in AFLW according to Sarah Black and Meggs agrees. He was lukewarm on Birch last year but Libby has been totally excellent in 2022 and together with Lampard, Goldie and Heath (best game last week) the Dees backline is shaping up well.

    This week we’ll miss one of Meggs’s faves, C Sherriff, due to concussion but he would prefer Bannan on the wing, to the selected inside-mid  🔫  Mithen, on the opposite wing to the indefatigable McNamara-Langdon.

    Hanksy it’s good to have you back. We love you!  We hope Maddie Gay is recovering well and are really looking forward to seeing Liv Purcell play in the Red and Blue.

    Let’s have a big win tomorrow Dees, please kick straight, a few girls to recapture some form and let it be a springboard for the rest of the season.

    Hanks is a big in

    Jackie Parry must have some incriminating photos! Her output has been very low this year but hopefully she can find some form today

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
