Really looking forward to seeing what the two Demon debutants can bring to the team.  With such a short AFLW season, a win is very important, and this game presents as a great opportunity to stamp our credentials as genuine contenders.  Go Dees.

Best of luck to the two girls on debut. A win in enemy territory will really make a statement, and I think we're good for it.

Must be hard for the girls playing Monday night in Brisbane. Most would have full time jobs. Not sure what the AFL is thinking

The season heats up from here. No more soft opponents (other than Carlton in Rd 10)

Tough game. Their midweek game v the Suns was a training drill so i don't expect the 4 day turnaround to be too much of a factor tonight 

We'll need to play to our maximum to win. Need big games from the midfield group in particular. And I would like to see us bring Bannon into the game more. She has devastating leg speed. Find out how tired the Lions actually are

Heart says Dees, head says Lions

Massive game tonight. We probably need to win 2 of next 3 to finish top 4, and possibly all 3 to finish top 2, given our (relatively) poor percentage.

Purcell was a great get for the team, and I am looking forward to her debut.

I agree that we need to find a way to bring the likes of Bannan, Hore and Zanker into the game, particularly inside forward 50, as they are such tough match ups for most teams.

I'm nervous!  Brisbane are good on every line and when they're on, they're on.

A win would be massive, a loss probably means we're just making up the numbers. Regardless of the outcome, I hope we can show our best, which we simply haven't yet this season. A good start is on top of my wish list.

Best of luck to Purcell and Gillard for their first games as Demons.

Hard to call. Lions are good but they have just scraped home against poor sides

i reckon we will get up

crows, Freo and North are the worry

I don't trust our ability to fly in fly out, so I'm expecting some underwhelming performances from the girls tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

Need to play 4 qtrs.
Which has proved to be a struggle.

They looked really good in their last game albeit against mediocre opponents. But much better than us against Gold Coast a week or so before.

The amount of throws that go unwhistled in AFLW is a joke

Just saw 5 in a row by the Lions. Umps not even pretending to be balanced.

We look like the team coming off a 4 day break

Fly in fly out is worse than a 4 day break for amateurs imo.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
