    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
