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.

A little surprised we're going in as favourites given we're on the road against a good side (albeit one that hasn't beaten anyone of quality this year)

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.

I’ve had to turn off. The passage with about 9minutes left on the clock sums up where the womens game is at. Poorly officiated garbage. It’s like watching an entirely different game

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.

Lions player way inside the protected area. Play on. Total joke.

There's some strange umpiring here 

 

Edited by BDA


We are simply not anywhere near skilled enough to execute the game plan the coach has asked them to play to. It relies on pinpoint kicking and chipping away. The Lions kicking is far more accurate and they are light years ahead of our girls. 

They’re making us look extremely slow. 

 

Libby Birch can’t handball. Less writing in the paper, more basic skills please

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
