    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??

    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

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
