Vs. North next week. I watched North vs. Pies on the weekend and I wasn’t sure if it was that North were good or the Pies were crap. Regardless, a win tonight would be great leading into that match.

    Best not to try bouncing it Goldy but at least you're having a crack

    Bannan is the most skilled player on our list with proper footy smarts. She will be one of the best players in the comp in the next couple of years.

    Go girl Alyssa Bannon. Very well taken goal. And badly needed

    Oh and I’ll had one more thing, the Irish girls have all the heart in the world and can run, but cannot kick or bounce the ball. So not sure what they add

    I thought you turned it off?

    i get we are playing poorly but your sweeping statements are a bit harsh. Hore is a great kick. And regarding the Irish girls Goldrick is a reliable kick.

    There’s no way this team will win a premiership given the way that they fold against decent opposition.

    Daisy, Paxmen, Scott and Hore are all C grade kicks.

    Daisy and Paxman are both very good kicks, more often than not hitting targets.

    Don’t get defensive of your countrywomen Dub. It’s a fact. If you are watching, our best 5 players and most experienced are poor field kicks. Admittedly Hore is a good shot on goal. Around the ground we consistently miss targets.

    Outside of Bannon's goal its been a dismal performance. Our only hope here is if the Lions tire in the second half but even then we have to lift across the board

    I’ll always stand up for Irish women. Goldy is a beauty. 🙂

    O’Dwyer from the Lions should be a trade target too. Gun

    Well I honestly don’t know what you’re watching tonight (maybe you did turn it off?), but both have been consistently hitting targets in this game. Unfortunately they’re not getting much support from many of their team mates.

    If we turn the pressure up, win some clearances this game can turned on it’s head quickly

    put Hore on a wing. Play Bannan off HB. Move it around

    Just remind them not to bounce. Practice the solo or touch the ball on the ground. Cost a goal.

    This game should be just about done but I think we’re still a slight chance. Big turnaround needed, we should just take the game on from here.
    The only time we looked dangerous is when we just ran like West did and Bannan took off straight after a mark for her goal. Hopefully we can get a couple early in the second half and put them under pressure. Make the Lions rue their missed opportunities.

    Sorry but we are not even in the same ballpark as the lions. They are the best ball moving side as I have seen with the girls. Conditions suiting them as well.

    They’ve got a few loose targets by looking to switch play. Lions players are nailing targets through the corridor with precision. The fact their teammates mark the ball also helps, but this is the difference I speak of. I got over my hatred of the umpiring in this league and stuck with it, but I hold firm on my views. Our supposed top 5 lack polish. I used to think Paxmen was the best user of the footy in our team, but she looks way off it this season. I’d be spinning a few magnets.

    West and Hore just confirming my point - we lack polish and can’t kick

     

    and Bannan further confirming my point…natural talent who can kick

    Harris is a weapon with a dead eye kicking action. Her work all over the ground has been a highlight tonight. If we can make some wiser choices with ball in hand through the midfield, we are a big chance

    The gap should really be 27 points. Just lucky for us their last two shots were misses. One hit the post(?) Anyways, it’s gonna take way more than luck from here. Let’s see if the girls can turn it around in the second half. ❤️💙

    What a gun Harris is. Easily the best mark in the league. Tough as guts

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
