Isn’t Casey Fields the toughest road trip, we’ve won the last 12?  Adelaide beat Freo at Fremantle oval last week and we won there in Round 8 last year but this game is at Optus Stadium, home of a recent and famous drought-breaking Demons triumph.  If we have any designs on winning tonight we will need to be a lot tougher than we were against Adelaide at Norwood Oval recently.  Meggs will be glued to the tv tonight and has high hopes for a supreme effort, loves the ins and reckons we can win.

Edited by Meggs

We have the side to beat Freo but like any trip to Perth the travel legs syndrome begins to appear.

 

How was Gillard omitted? 

Thought she was excellent last week.

Young body not up to repeat efforts, didn't fit team structures, or just not able to commit as not full time athletes.

I thought Gillard did well last week too….


Freo badly impacted by the dreaded "health and safety" protocols. Bad luck for them bu big opportunity for us

brilliant snap from Kate Hore

And playing really well, too. 


Liking our run, that quarter was played at breakneck speed. Very entertaining 

We’re on 🔥!

Keep it up girls!!!

Tayla Harris has made such a difference this year. Such a strong mark


That's the most polished half of football that I've ever seen from our AFLW team.  Keep it up girls!

Played some decent footy in that half. However Freo are badly affected with covid nonsense which is helping us. I am really impressed with Purcells and Wests game. Daisy has been fantastic.

Maybe Pert was on to something. Daise should definitely go around again

How good is Optus Stadium

My opinion of it has gone up a little since 2018 that's for sure.

Enjoying the girls live for a change.  They look good except Harris, hopefully she changed boots at halftime… l

lets secure top 2, big half coming up.

Tayla Harris is a terrific focal point, such a strong overhead mark. And a clever kick too. That was a ripper in the 2nd qtr to Daisy for a goal.

    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?
