    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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
