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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
