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

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
