A Melbourne team actually has the highest winning margin on record. Let that sink in. 

 

Great effort from the girls. My beer is tasting excellent tonite.

First to crack ton, highest ever score, highest ever winning margin, biggest quarter, Daisy most goals by a demon.

 

GO DEMONS!!!!

And Harris most goals kicked in an aflw season!

Best performance I’ve ever seen from any AFLW team!   I so much want us to be AFL and AFLW champions, and this is becoming real possibility.  It seems to be coming together at the pointy end of the season for our AFLW team, just as it did for our men in 2021.

getting to 100 points is no small feat - i would imagine that shorter quarters and less players on the field makes scoring opportunities and possession chains that much harder, especially with the aflw players not having the kicking penetration or more polished skills of the aflm players

Imagine if the girls didn’t have to play on that windy country ground most weeks. We’d be seeing some quality play and big scores

Gone tonight were the one metre ‘get me out of trouble’ hand passes.

In tonight we’re precision hand passes to a team mate in better position.  

Brilliant!

Tayla Harris marks the ball better than most of the blokes

Could she teach Weid how to mark?

While she's at it  she can give him a few lessons in second efforts and intensity 


Well, sometimes when things click, they really click.

105 points in AFLW is about equivalent to 160 points in the traditional game length. The fact that we left at least 5 goals on the park makes it all the more incredible. Complete domination, with a definite asterisk on it, but you can only play the team in front of you. Next week we could be just as diminished.

Loved Colvin's game early when it was there to be won.

P.S. Anyone got some money lying around for a couple of grandstands at Casey?

Wasn’t that awesome to watch. Stinear has our team playing exhilarating footy a la the boys, highly entertaining. Moving from Fremantle oval to Optus Stadium was a win for us, our skills in windless conditions excelled.  Also Meggs wanted everyone to know that Freo had a few late withdrawals due to Covid as you may not have heard…

Hoping Zanker is ok as we need her on ball and  second ruck work.  It’s either Scotty or Parry and Demonland prefers Shelley over Jacqui.

West and Purcell have allowed Paxy to play wing and it works better.  Our multi-faceted forward line has kicked the highest score on AFLW history. It will be our 2022 finals weapon!

Collingwood to upset Adelaide tomorrow and we finish on top with a potential grand final at Casey…Meggs likes the sound of that.

ps we still need to defeat Carlton next week at Casey Fields.

What a win record breaking stuff. If that doesn't give you confidence nothing will. We are definitely a flag threat now. Adelaide seem to be the only threat if we can stop Phillips and Marinoff we can definitely  win the flag.

… and that wasn’t even our biggest win for the day because in the AFLW:-

WESTERN BULLDOGS 1.0.6 1.0.6 1.0.6 1.0.6

That was the most amazing display of women’s football I’ve seen. In fact, it was equal to some men’s games. The ball movement was superb. Accurate passing. A few weeks ago I was critical of the field kicking of a number of players. I now firmly believe the poor grounds and wind at Casey contributes to poor standards. The Dees love Optus Stadium. Well done girls. 

The season is shaping beautifully

They were depleted and we took full advantage. A complete, 4 quarter, ruthless performance. A joy to watch

That should be the home prelim sown up now. I can't see us losing against Carlton and I don't think the Lions will make up the percentage given they have a North and the doggies to play. North definitely won't make it up

Top spot and home finals all the way is a real possibility now. I'll be cheering on the pies today v the Crows (and taking a long shower afterwards). If they can at least be competitive and keep the scores close it will reduce the Crows percentage. 

Hoping for calm conditions next Saturday evening at Casey and some more accurate kicking

Go Dees 

That was the highest standard of AFLW I've seen.  Some of that ball movement in the 3rd was poetry in motion.  The run from behind was elite, and it just got better and better as the confidence grew.  Hopefully that confidence sticks around for the rest of the  season.  Play like that and we will be very, very hard to beat.

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.

None of that her time will come 

Colvin match hardened and stronger although smaller I too was surprised but never fear Tahlia is  tracking very nicely.

North look too far behind on % to dislodge us from top 2.

Lions are the only likely threat but everything would need to go right for them:  two huge wins vs North and Bulldogs plus we lose to Carlton.  North and Bulldogs (if Coll lose today) have a lot to play for so don't see those games as easy wins for the Lions.

It would be nice to for Coll to get over the Crows today. 

Overjoyed with our win. 

Very impressed with field kicking and the distances our girls were able to kick it. 

Feel a bit sorry for Freo.  Hope we don't meet them in the finals - they will be out for revenge and are good enough to extract it.  But if we do it will be at Casey; our fortress!!

 

Even taking into account the Freo absentees, Melbourne's footy was very good.

The best I’ve ever seen them play. Sustained pressure for the entire match. My girl Eden had thigh issues but geez whenever she gets near the ball it’s “get excited “ time. ❤️💙

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
