No Zanker hurts. Damn good thing we recruited Liv Purcell and she's coming good from the ACL to minimise this.

We need a solid win here for shot at top spot and for the saints to take it right up to Adelaide (knocking them off wod be even handier)

If last week’s form is anything to go by, we will have a strong win leading into finals.  

 

Hopefully it won't be blowing a gale down there. Carlton have improved so they will want to be on their mettle.

Dam Zanker is a really good player and uses the ball well. 

But hope Daisy continues on from her good from last week and snags a few more goals and Harris just continues to do what she has been doing. 

And for a great win. 


If the Demons play anywhere near last week they will win comfortably. But different opponents and ground, kick straight and all will be good!😁

We're a far better team than Carlton. Their form has been better but they've beaten nobody. We will win this game. 

The question is how big a factor the elements will be. Benign conditions and we will give the blue baggers a good touch up and perhaps even boost our percentage. If the Casey gale is blowing it'll even things up and make life harder for us. 

Making up percentage and trying to pinch top spot is a huge incentive so I think we'll carry on where we left off last week. 

Dees by 40 points

 

Will Zank the Tank be back for finals??

big out


Any idea if coming first is any great motivation? If we smash carlton and somehow finish higher than the crows does it impact home finals? Maybe the GF should we get there?

crows will win easy so we’ll need to hit triple figures again I reckon

Does anyone else think it's strange, that to get to the sheilas football on the AFL web site, you have to go over to their "everything else" menu on the far right, and then go down down down, past "Toyota AFL club help", "Licensing queries", "Contact us", and only right at the very bottom is "AFL Womens" ??

Too early to say Harris and Bannan are going to be the Buddy/Roughy of the W league??

Birch needs her age articles banned until she shows a bit of courage. Sets a poor example for her team mates 


Our % is knackered if we keep gifting goals to this average outfit. 

Main thing is to win now. If we lose and Brisbane win then we are third. Can’t happen 

Worst quarter I have seen from us for a very long time. They are showing no desperation for the ball. Sitting back and waiting for it fall in their hands. We could lose this and the year will be a waste. Bannan, Heath and Lampard have been our best players. It is now time for the ruckwoman Pearce to hit her straps. Give them a rev up Daisy.

Yep home ground advantage in the finals. Would much rather play Adelaide in Melbourne at either Casey or Marvel than at Adelaide Oval if we have to play them - would only be the GF against them

I suck at spelling


Percentage if important,  briefly we were above the crows, but behind now. I guessing the saints won't score enough tomorrow to drag down Adelaide's. 

Carlton turned this into a slog

 

Carlton are cracking in. It’s their grand final. 
 

Just stay the course and win girls. Worry about % when the game is iced

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
