    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

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
