If West could kick she'd be some player. She's in the middle of everything today

    Soft free kick to Harris but we'll take it. That goal finishes this as a contest (not that it ever really was)

    if the individual game stream doesn't work, go to 'live channels' and click the 'fox footy' button

    something definitely gone skew-whiff in their individual game stream set-up today; must've been pointing to the wrong feed

    Our pressure was good all game. Some better  performances this week from several regulars including Scott, Hore and Bannan.  Goldie was excellent today.  Magee looked lost out there and Brown was tired.  Hoping Lampard is ok for the Lions game and that Purcell is not far away.

    Btw loving Harris up forward.

    Thought we played well other than goal-kicking. Pressure up and some players finding form which is positive

    L Pearce, Mithen, Paxy, Goldy, West and Hanks best. Harris took some strong grabs. And she loves hurting people. Leading goal kicker in the comp now I think

    McNamara uncharacteristically quiet but she’s been great all year

    GWS very very limited

    We’ve beaten who’ve we had and have the 5 wins on the board but the going gets tough from here. Huge test against the Lions next week. That game will show us whether we’re genuine contenders or not

    Go Dees

    Again a good last quarter. I thaught our defence was excellent today. I t will be better with Lampard back in. I thaught Lauren Pearce was our best player but i would like to mention West as well. She was in everyting. Her and Lilly Mithen are a pair of Jack Russells.

    I wonder if it was related to tjhe game time being shifted.

    Someone forgot to update the automatic starter?

    In that case, I believe someone should tell them that next week’s blockbuster v Brisbane has also had a date and time change.

    * Note: The way things are going there could be further time changes so check with this Demonland at the weekend.

    There is something wrong with our kicking for goal. I know it is windy but there is at least 5 points that should have been goals so far in the game. 

    Same last week. Game was alive with 5 min to go when it should have been iced at 3/4 time.

    If we miss a flag this year it could be down to loose goal kicking.

    Yep, goal kicking practice needs to be a priority for the rest of the season.

    Pretty tough conditions I wouldn't want to be playing in 30 degree heat with a swirling wind. Fatigue has to be a factor.

    There's going to be some very sad faces if we make finals but lose.... with our shots at goal being quite unacceptable. Generally we are not overly skilled in the kicking area around the ground too. It's up to the individual players to work much harder on foot disposal. Other teams have keenly addressed this but we are yet to enjoy improved scoring %'s. Quite happy with the W though, well done girls.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
