    North are tough opponents, they must be respected but coming off our great win v the Lions and playing at our home fortress I reckon we'll get the job done

    Would like to see Kate Hore find some form

    With both teams on equal points, a win is very important for our finals prospects.  If we play like we did in the first half against Brisbane, there’s every chance we will lose.  If we can maintain our form the second half, we will win comfortably.  Tayla Harris might be the difference.  I’m backing the latter scenario.  Dees by 3 goals.

    I'd reckon they'll play with an extra back to try and block out Harris' run at the ball. Hopefully they'll swing Bannon into our forward line again. She's really rising in confidence and looking really damaging.

    Dare I say season defining?

    Big opportunity with Adelaide v Freo and us against Norf.

    Just need four quarters of our best footy. We'll  beat any team with that.

    Yes, North will be a tough opponent today, certainly a premiership contender in 2022.  Their midfield group has 2 good rucks in Emma King and Rennie plus they genuine stars in Jazzy Garner and Ash Riddell with Emma Kearney down back who is playing great footy there intercepting and setting up plays.  Bruton, Gavalas, Ashmore, Mia King and Bresnehan are all having good years and Bannister who kicked 2 goals against us last time is finally playing every game and looking dangerous.

    @BDA Meggs would like to see Kate Hore find some form too.  And some others could too.  Parry has had one serviceable game all season and Ex skipper Scott has barely imposed herself this year.  A pity we dropped Megan Fitzsimon cause she has clean skills and some footy smarts but she’ll be back.  Start strong this week please.  Gay and Sherrif returning strengthens our team.

    Really looking forward to this game. We are evenly matched.  Should be a cracker!  Dees by 1 point.

    Funnily enough, despite a million wins in a row, I don’t actually think we learnt to play Casey that well. Just a bit better than the opposition. There is an opportunity here. 
    I am in furious agreement with @Meggs and @BDA it would be a handy time for Hore to get back to her AA best. Zanker and Scott to play to their potential too please.
    If we get an even contribution from the first bounce then we win. Oh and please let’s not concede a goal in the first two minutes like we normally do.

    Interesting game. North are not heavy scorers so if our midfield can get an advantage we should win. Our backs usually do the job but then again I should not back the horse before it has run.

    1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

    has it been confirmed if erin phillips at the crows has done her knee, again?

    A knee sprain apparently. Not playing against Freo now but won't be out for too long per reports

    I hope the Crows soften up Freo for us. The AFL are doing their bit by scheduling the game under the midday Perth sun

    Love to beat nth anytime in the mens or womens.

    Hope Taylor carries on her form and I wonder if Daisy will be down back again for a period of the game.

    Any chance Hardiperson tagging Paxperson?

    And if the AFL were serious about it being a 'community series', it should be played close to me at Batepersons Bay.

    Casey  Fields has to be on par with whatever the Darwin ground is called and Cairns stadium as the worst venue for  watching a game of AFL / AFLW.

    A fair start I guess with the breeze. You'd want to be up at least two goals up.

    Just a shocking ground to play at most days.

    I'd be surprised if more than two goals get scored right of screen all night.

    Daisy is defence this quarter may be a good thing. Will help if Emma King doesn't get back on the field.

    Geez Bannon is fast. Great play at the end of the quarter.

    Kate Hore needs to realise the pressure has gone way up this year and take first options. She consistently burns team mates

    North have the rub of the green with umps and we’ve got the 2 vital 50’s resulting in goals. 
     

    I think we should use Zanker and Purcell in tandem on Garner and free Hanks up to see if we can get some clearance wins.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
